Body Mass and Winter Severity as Predictors of Overwinter Survival in Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse
Meadow jumping mice (Zapus hudsonius) reduce their metabolism substantially during hibernation and use stored fat reserves for overwinter energy needs. Preble’s meadow jumping mouse (Z. h. preblei; PMJM) occurs along the Front Range of Colorado, north into southeastern Wyoming, and is listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act because of the conversion and degradation of ri...
متن کاملOverwinter Growth and Survival of Largemouth Bass: Interactions among Size, Food, Origin, and Winter Severity
—Winter severity (temperature, duration, and photocycle), geographic origin, food availability, and initial body size likely influence growth, survival, and, therefore, recruitment of age0 largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. We collected age-0 largemouth bass (70–160 mm total length) from low (338N), intermediate (408N), and high (458N) latitudes throughout their natural range (origin), and ...
متن کاملAcoustic measures of the relationship between winter severity and overwinter mortality of alewives
Freshwater alewives have been shown to be quite sensitive to cold water, and evidence exists to suggest that entire year classes have died in severe winters. Although a number of factors influence alewife survival rates, it is likely that overwinter mortality is substantial in most years. In spite of the apparent importance of overwinter mortality, estimates of overwinter mortality rates for th...
