The Abrolhos System is the Houtman Abrolhos Islands and adjoing State Territorial Waters. It is an important part of the Western Australian environment. Has major significance in conservation of flora and fauna and also in geological terms. The waters adjoining State Territorial Waters contain some of the most highly valued marine systems in the State. These include sites of historical shipwrecks in Australia. The are of great interest to visitors and support a relatively small but growing recreation and tourism industy. The area is integral to the Western rock lobster fishery, which is that State's premier primary industries. The Abrolhos …
Effects Of Abiotic Factors On Population Dynamics Of The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow And Continental Patterns Of Herpetological Species Richness : An Appropriately Scaled Landscape Approach, M. Philip Nott
Doctoral Dissertations
The effect of abiotic factors on population dynamics has been a central focus of ecology since its inception. This study examines the role of such factors in variously regulating the dynamics of selected avian and herpetological populations. This is achieved using a landscape ecology approach with special reference to the question of scale. In the first of these investigations, an appropriately scaled spatially explicit individual-based population model is constructed for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus mirabilis). The model combines information about the sparrow's behavioral and life history characteristics with historical hydrological data, demographic survey data, and satellite-derived vegetation …

Cattle, Environment, And Economic Change: A History Of Cherry County, Nebraska’S Cattle Industry, From Earliest Times To 1940, Gail Lorna Didonato
Cattle, Environment, And Economic Change: A History Of Cherry County, Nebraska’S Cattle Industry, From Earliest Times To 1940, Gail Lorna Didonato
Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
A modern cattle industry in Cherry County, Nebraska, developed as challenges of land use and pressures of economic change demanded new and flexible adaptation to the unique environment. Located in the Sandhills, a region only opened to legal white settlement after Indian removal in 1878, the area passed through phases of occupation. Open-range cattlemen drawn by lucrative local markets gave way to struggles over land use between farmers and ranchers. Early twentieth century legislation, the 1904 Kinkaid Act, designed to promote farm settlement, in the end, benefited ranchers the most. As the wedge to gain legal access to land ownership, …
Review Of People And The Land Through Time: Linking Ecology And History By Emily W. B. Russell, Emily Greenwald
Review Of People And The Land Through Time: Linking Ecology And History By Emily W. B. Russell, Emily Greenwald
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
While some environmental historians have used the insights of the natural sciences in their historical work, Emily Russell, offering a scientist's perspective, challenges ecologists to incorporate historians' methods and insights into their studies. In People and the Land through Time, Russell outlines working principles for the "historical ecologist," a scholar who traces past human impacts on particular ecosystems. She makes it clear that her emphasis is on ecological systems rather than humans, but argues that ecosystems can't be fully understood without accounting for how human actions have affected them.
The book provides an introduction to methods and a variety …

Directory Of Water Related Courses Offered At Colleges And Universities In Arkansas As Of November 1998, Kenneth F. Steele
Technical Reports
This publication lists the water and water-related courses at several universities and colleges in Arkansas as reported during the Fall of 1 998. It is anticipated that users of this directory will extend beyond college students, and will include professionals seeking continuing education, and professors desiring to exchange Information on courses. This directory is not an "absolute" source of water and water-related courses because all of the higher learning Institutions In Arkansas are not listed, and, secondly, because the definition of "water and water-related" varies from institution to institution. None-the-less this directory provides a very valuable and impressive reference on …

Design Of An Epidemiologic Study Of Drinking Water Arsenic Exposure And Skin And Bladder Cancer Risk In A U.S. Population, Margaret R. Karagas, Tor D. Tosteson, Joel Blum, J Steven Morris, John A. Baron, Bjoern Klaue
Dartmouth Scholarship
Ingestion of arsenic-contaminated drinking water is associated with an increased risk of several cancers, including skin and bladder malignancies; but it is not yet clear whether such adverse effects are present at levels to which the U.S. population is exposed. In New Hampshire, detectable levels of arsenic have been reported in drinking water supplies throughout the state. Therefore, we have begun a population-based epidemiologic case-control study in which residents of New Hampshire diagnosed with primary squamous cell (n = 900) and basal cell (n = 1200) skin cancers are being selected from a special statewide skin cancer incidence survey; patients …

Winter Macroinvertebrate Communities In Two Montane Wyoming Streams, Christopher M. Pennuto, Frank Denoyelles Jr., Mark A. Conrad, Frank A. Vertucci, Sharon L. Dewey
Great Basin Naturalist
Macroinvertebrate communities were examined on 4 winter dates over a 4-yr period in 2 high-altitude Rocky Mountain streams to document overwintering assemblages potentially experiencing spring acid pulses. Taxa richness values were comparable to other published lists for alpine and montane stream systems despite the fact that most literature reflected summer collections. Mean benthic density ranged from 1406 to 19,734 organisms/m2, and drift rates ranged from 0 to 1740 organisms/100 m3. Benthic collections showed higher taxa richness than drift collections while the Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera occurred in greater proportions in drift than in benthos. The Nemouridae (Plecoptera), …

Development And Validation Of Forest Habitat Models In The Uinta Mountains, Utah, Tracey S. Frescino
Development And Validation Of Forest Habitat Models In The Uinta Mountains, Utah, Tracey S. Frescino
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A significant question currently facing environmental managers is how to accurately and efficiently quantify forest diversity and resources. Numerous studies have demonstrated the use of modern spatial analytical tools, such as geographical information systems (GIS), remote sensing devices, and statistical models for predicting the distribution of dominant vegetation cover types. This study examines the ability of generalized additive models (GAMs) to delineate structural diversity in forested ecosystems (specifically the Uinta Mountain Range in Utah) using GIS tools and satellite spectral data, and analyzes the effect of including different forms of satellite data in model construction (i.e., Landsat thematic mapper (TM), …

A Geomorphological Investigation Of Soils Forming On The Humboldt Terrace In Western Tennessee, David Edward Smith
Masters Theses
Soils forming on the Humboldt terrace in western Tennessee were investigated for their genesis and classification. Diatoms within the profiles were used to determine whether the Humboldt terrace originated in a fluvial environment, which is the accepted theory, or a tidal environment.
A total of seven sites were chosen on the Milan Agricultural Experiment Station. Five of the sites were located in an upland position on the Humboldt terrace, while two other sites were located on a lower lying flood plain. The five terrace sites were sampled to a depth ranging from 3.5 to 5 meters. The flood plain sites …

Mapping Monthly Precipitation, Temperature, And Solar Radiation For Ireland With Polynomial Regression And A Digital Elevation Model, Christine L. Goodale, John D. Aber, Scott V. Ollinger
Faculty Publications
A 1 km2 resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of Ireland was constructed and used as the basis for generating digital maps of the climate parameters required to run a model of ecosystem carbon and water cycling. The DEM had mean absolute errors of 30 m or less for most of Ireland. The ecosystem model requires inputs of monthly precipitation, monthly averaged maximum and minimum daily temperature, and monthly averaged daily solar radiation. Long-term (1951 to 1980) averaged monthly data were obtained from sites measuring precipitation (618 sites), temperature (62 sites), and the number of hours of bright sunshine per day …
Tallgrass Prairie Remnants Of Western Iowa Cemeteries., Carrie L. Menges-Schaben
Tallgrass Prairie Remnants Of Western Iowa Cemeteries., Carrie L. Menges-Schaben
Student Work
Tallgrass prairie remnants situated in eight western Iowa cemeteries were sampled during 1995 and 1996 to compare both the frequency and season of mowing and burning on plant species composition. Dominant, native tallgrass prairie species, such as big bluestem (Andropha gerardii), Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) and leadplant (Amorpha canescens), generally showed a significant increase with burning, whether mowed or not. Mowing, however, adversely affected other species, including flower spurge (Euphorbia corollate) and porcupine grass (Stipa spartea), whether burned or not. Non-native species, in particular smooth brome (Bromus inermis) increased with mowing and the absence of fire. Overall, my study suggests …

Trophic Diversity Of A Mesopelagic Fish Community., Tracey Sutton, Thomas L. Hopkins, Thomas M. Lancraft
Trophic Diversity Of A Mesopelagic Fish Community., Tracey Sutton, Thomas L. Hopkins, Thomas M. Lancraft
Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures
To understand the character of prey partitioning in a low latitude oligotrophic region, a composite picture of the trophic structure of a mesopelagic fish community was made from the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Two hundred and twenty three species were collected in the area of which I61 species were abundant enough for analyses. Fifteen major categories of prey biomass are identified for diet analyses: viz. copepods, ostracods, amphipods, euphausiids, decapods, larvaceans, salps, coelenterates (primarily siphonophores), unidentified gelatinous prey, polychaetes, gastropods, cephalopods, chaetognaths, fish, other food. Prey partitioning is minimal across major prey categories as the vast majority of mesopelagic fishes …

This study addressed the following question: What factors thought likely to influence the license status of foster family homes predict to continuing and what predict to ceasing to foster? This study was conducted in eight urban counties in a large Midwestern state. Using logistic regression, a 13 variable model was developed. The factors with odds ratios that predicted greater likelihood of closed license status were: when the foster mother is white, respondent wanting to adopt but being unable to do so, concern about agency red tape, disagreement with the statement that social workers reached out to foster parentsand respondents not …

Permutation Of Two-Term Local Quadrat Variance Analysis: General Concepts For Interpretation Of Peaks, Jonathan E. Campbell, Scott B. Franklin, David J. Gibson, Jonathan A. Newman
Permutation Of Two-Term Local Quadrat Variance Analysis: General Concepts For Interpretation Of Peaks, Jonathan E. Campbell, Scott B. Franklin, David J. Gibson, Jonathan A. Newman
Publications
Many ecological studies use Two-Term Local Quadrat Variance Analysis (TTLQV) and its derivatives for spatial pattern analysis. Currently, rules for determining variance peak significance are arbitrary. Variance peaks found at block size 1 and at > 50 % of the transect length are the only peaks whose use is explicitly prohibited. Although the use of variance peaks found at block sizes > 10 % of the transect length have also been warned against, many researchers interpret them regardless. We show in this paper that variance peaks derived from TTLQV are subject to additional ‘rules of thumb’. Through the use of randomization and …
