Aquatic amphibians are known to be vulnerable to a myriad of invasive predators. Invasive crayfish are thought to have eliminated native populations of amphibians in some streams in the semi-arid Santa Monica Mountains of southern California. Despite their toxic skin secretions that defend them from native predators, newts are vulnerable to crayfish attacks, and crayfish have been observed attacking adult newts, and eating newt egg masses and larvae. For 15 years, we have observed invasive crayfish and native California newts coexisting in one stream in the Santa Monica Mountains. During that period, we monitored the densities of both crayfish and …

Encyclopedia Of Animal Behavior, A. Payne, P. Starks, Aviva Liebert
Aviva E Liebert
The Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior has engaged-with great success-the efforts of many of the best behavioral biologists of the 21st century. Section editors drawn from the most accomplished behavioral scientists of their generation have enrolled an international cast of highly respected thinkers and writers-all of whom have taken great care and joy in illuminating every imaginable corner of animal behavior. This comprehensive work covers not only the usual topics such as communication, learning, sexual selection, navigation, and the history of the field, but also emerging topics in cognition, animal welfare, conservation, and applications of animal behavior. The large section on …
The Relationships Between Cuticular Hydrocarbon Composition, Faunal Assemblages, Inter-Island Distance, And Population Genetic Variation In Tuscan Archipelago Wasps, Leonardo Dapporto, Aviva Liebert, Philip Starks, Stefano Turillazzi
The Relationships Between Cuticular Hydrocarbon Composition, Faunal Assemblages, Inter-Island Distance, And Population Genetic Variation In Tuscan Archipelago Wasps, Leonardo Dapporto, Aviva Liebert, Philip Starks, Stefano Turillazzi

Until recently, studies examining the geographical distribution of insects in the Tuscan Archipelago have focused on paleogeography as the primary influence on species distributions. However, for flying insects such as Hymenoptera that may be able to disperse over water, current geographical location is likely to be more important in determining present distributions within the Archipelago. Here we compare mainland and island wasp populations using genetic variation and cuticular hydrocarbon composition of the vespid wasp Polistes dominulus, and species composition of wasps in the family Pompilidae. Both chemical and genetic data result in similar clustering of P. dominulus populations that reflect …
Silicone Foul Release Coatings: Effect Of The Interaction Of Oil And Coating Functionalities On The Magnitude Of Macrofouling Attachment Strengths, Judith Stein, Kathryn Truby, Christina Wood, Jeff Stein, Martha Gardner, Geoffrey Swain, Christopher Kavanagh, Brett Kovach, Michael Schultz, Deborah Wiebe, Eric Holm, Jean Montemarano, Dean Wendt, Celia Smith, Anne Meyer
Silicone Foul Release Coatings: Effect Of The Interaction Of Oil And Coating Functionalities On The Magnitude Of Macrofouling Attachment Strengths, Judith Stein, Kathryn Truby, Christina Wood, Jeff Stein, Martha Gardner, Geoffrey Swain, Christopher Kavanagh, Brett Kovach, Michael Schultz, Deborah Wiebe, Eric Holm, Jean Montemarano, Dean Wendt, Celia Smith, Anne Meyer
Michael A Schultz
Silicone biofouling release coatings have been shown to be an effective method of combating fouling. Nearly all silicone foul release coatings are augmented with an oil additive to decrease macrofouling attachment strength. This paper addresses the effect of the type of oil that is incorporated into the silicone coating and the type of silicone coating itself (silica vs calcium carbonate filled) on macrofouling adhesion strengths to the coating. It was found that not only are the main effects of oil type and silicone coating type important in determining the magnitude of the attachment strength of the organism, but the interaction …
