Comparison of Indirect and Direct Methods of Distance Sampling for Estimating Density of White-Tailed Deer
Although wildlife biologists need reliable estimates of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) density to facilitate management, few studies have examined distance sampling as a density estimation technique for this species. We compared direct (i.e., spotlighting from road transects) and indirect (i.e., counting pellets on randomly placed transects) distance-sampling techniques for estimati...
متن کاملLitter supply as a driver of microbial activity and community structure on decomposing leaves: a test in experimental streams.
Succession of newly created landscapes induces profound changes in plant litter supplied to streams. Grasses dominate inputs into open-land streams, whereas tree litter is predominant in forested streams. We set out to elucidate whether the activity and structure of microbial communities on decomposing leaves are determined by litter quality (i.e., grass or tree leaves colonized) or whether cha...
متن کاملEnvironmental Relationships to Wadeable Stream Fisheries Resources in Mississippi
Wadeable streams in Mississippi do not garner the attention of most anglers or fishery managers; consequently, these streams hold an unmanaged recreational fishery. However, they can support quality sizes and abundances of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus), and sunfishes. We used the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Wadeable Stream Assessment ...
متن کاملLandscape metrics as predictors of hydrologic connectivity between Coastal Plain forested wetlands and streams
Geographically isolated wetlands, those entirely surrounded by uplands, provide numerous landscape-scale ecological functions, many of which are dependent on the degree to which they are hydrologically connected to nearby waters. There is a growing need for field-validated, landscape-scale approaches for classifying wetlands on the basis of their expected degree of hydrologic connectivity with ...
متن کاملFlood Disturbance in a Forested Mountain Landscape Interactions of land use and floods
Floods trigger cascades of physical processes that alter streams and riparian zones of mountain landscapes, yet affected species are resilient Recent flooding in the Pacific Northwest vividly illustrates the complexity of watershed and ecosystem responses to floods, especially in steep forest landscapes. Flooding involves a sequence of interactions that begins with climatic drivers. These drive...
