It points up a number of obstacles and identifies several steps necessary to meet the challenges.


Kansas Attitudes On Prairie Dog Control, Charles D. Lees, F. Robert Henderson Feb 1989

Kansas Attitudes On Prairie Dog Control, Charles D. Lees, F. Robert Henderson

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

In Kansas prairie dog management is primarily determined by private individuals and local government agencies. We conducted a mail survey of 350 affected landowners as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of current prairie dog control. The same survey was also sent to 350 randomly selected state residents within the general prairie dog range. We evaluated people's perceptions of prairie dogs, the effectiveness of control methods, costs of control, and reasons for poor response to control techniques. Results indicate people that have previously been involved in prairie dog control on lands they manage have different opinions about prairie dogs than …


Black-Footed Ferret Recovery, Dean E. Biggins, Ronald A. Crew Feb 1989

Black-Footed Ferret Recovery, Dean E. Biggins, Ronald A. Crew

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

The captive population of black-footed ferrets increased from 24 to 58 animals in 1988, and was split to provide the species added protection against extinction. Experimental reintroductions may begin in 1991. In some areas, "experimental population" designations as authorized under Section 10 (j) of the Endangered Species Act may be used to provide wider management latitude. The Black-footed Ferret Interstate Coordinating Committee oversees much of the work related to reintroduction. Expanded effort to locate wild ferrets now includes a $10,000 reward offer. Research focuses on captive breeding, reintroduction techniques, disease, and habitat. A new Recovery Plan was approved in 1988.

Planning For Animal Damage Control Programs Within The Animal And Plant Health Inspection Service, Philip S. Gipson, Gary P. Combs

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

The Animal Damage Control Unit (ADC) and the 10 other units of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) have undergone major reorganization. Emphasis is placed on planning and risk analysis. Four levels of planning have been identified: (1) strategic planning for the Agency, (2) strategic planning for each of the 11 units, (3) program design and risk analysis, and (4) operational planning.


An Assessment Of The Urban Wildlife Problem, William D. Fitzwater Feb 1989

An Assessment Of The Urban Wildlife Problem, William D. Fitzwater

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

Basic urban wildlife problems include: proper identification of species, shift from agrarian to urban society, different interpretations of humaneness, compassion for individual rather than a population as a whole, and public ignorance of urban pest management. Positive values are esthetics and environmental education opportunities. Negative values are disease transmission, life/injury-threatening situations, damage to buildings/other property, water structures/quality, petty annoyances, and indirect economics.


Sea Beam Survey Of An Active Strike-Slip Fault: The San Clemente Fault In The California Continental Borderland, Mark R. Legg, Bruce P. Luyendyk, Jacqueline Mammerickx, Christian De Moustier, Robert C. Tyce Feb 1989

Sea Beam Survey Of An Active Strike-Slip Fault: The San Clemente Fault In The California Continental Borderland, Mark R. Legg, Bruce P. Luyendyk, Jacqueline Mammerickx, Christian De Moustier, Robert C. Tyce

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The San Clemente fault, located in the California Continental Borderland, is an active, northwest trending, right-lateral, wrench fault. Sea Beam data are used to map the major tectonic landforms associated with active submarine faulting in detail unavailable using conventional echo-sounding or seismic reflection data. In the area between North San Clemente Basin and Fortymile Bank, the major late Cenozoic faults are delineated by alignments of numerous tectonic landforms, including scarps, linear trenches, benches, and sags. Character and spatial patterns of these landforms are consistent with dextral wrench faulting, although vertical offsets may be substantial locally. The main trace of the …

Non-Debye Enhancements In The Mie Scattering Of Light From A Single Water Droplet, James A. Lock, Judith R. Woodruff Feb 1989

Non-Debye Enhancements In The Mie Scattering Of Light From A Single Water Droplet, James A. Lock, Judith R. Woodruff

Physics Faculty Publications

The glare spots usually seen on a single water droplet which has been illuminated by a plane wave are produced by geometrical rays which correspond to the different terms of the Debye series expansion of the Mie scattered field. Recently other glare spot enhancements have been predicted which correspond to scattering resonances coupling to the orbiting rays associated with high-order geometrical rainbows. We observed the non-Debye enhancement of the eleventh-order rainbow glare spot at an observation angle of 90° on a 3.5-mm water droplet illuminated by polarized He-Ne laser light.

Biochemical And Morphological Characteristics In Maturing Achenes From Purple-Hulled And Oilseed Sunflower Cultivars, Roger W. Bullard, Paul P. Woronecki, Richard A. Dolbeer, J. Russell Mason Jan 1989

Biochemical And Morphological Characteristics In Maturing Achenes From Purple-Hulled And Oilseed Sunflower Cultivars, Roger W. Bullard, Paul P. Woronecki, Richard A. Dolbeer, J. Russell Mason

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The blackbird feeding preference for sunflower oilseed variety Jacques Discovery (JD) over purple-hulled Neagra de Cluj (NdC) has been attributed to anthocyanin. To test this hypothesis, we compared biochemical and morphological properties in the achene over the maturation period. Comparisons included total phenols, anthocyanin, tannin, fat/oil, protein, nonstructural sugars, and phytomelanin contents, as well as mass properties and moisture content. Only three differences were observed: (1) Hull mass was significantly higher for NdC than JD. (2) Anthocyanins were synthesized by NdC only. (3) JD was higher in oil content. Each of these factors may play a role in reduced preferences …


Robustness & Precision Of Parametric & Distribution-Free Tolerance Limits For Two Lifetime Distributions, Wei Kei Shiue, Lee J. Bain Jan 1989

Robustness & Precision Of Parametric & Distribution-Free Tolerance Limits For Two Lifetime Distributions, Wei Kei Shiue, Lee J. Bain

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Exact parametric tolerance limits or confidence limits on reliability are not available for the gamma distribution, and it is, difficult to determine approximate methods which are accurate for all parameter values. The precision lost by using the distribution-free tolerance-limit method based on the first order statistic, compared to using an approximate gamma tolerance limit method is studied. The robustness of the approximate gamma tolerance limit when the true model is Weibull and the robustness of a Weibull tolerance limit when the true model is gamma are also studied. The efficiency of the distribution-free method ranges from about 0.60 to 0.90 …


Periodic Points For Homeomorphisms Of Hereditarily Decomposable Chainable Continua, W. T. Ingram Jan 1989

Periodic Points For Homeomorphisms Of Hereditarily Decomposable Chainable Continua, W. T. Ingram

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper it is shown that homeomorphisms of hereditarily decomposable chainable continua cannot have periodic points whose periods are not powers of two. Examples show that for each power of two there is a hereditarily decomposable chainable continuum and a homeomorphism of it which has a periodic point of period that power of two. © 1989 American Mathematical Society.

An Analysis Of The Factors Influencing Eutrophication Within The China Lake Watershed, Student Collective Organized Against Lake Eutrophication, Colby College, Problems In Environmental Science Course (Biology 493), Colby College

Colby College Watershed Study: China Lake (2005, 1989)

Lake eutrophication is the natural process of aging in the lake body with establishment and multiplication of organism over time. The sediment and decaying matter accumulate, gradually filling in the lake basin, transforming the lake from a deep lake to dry land. This process affects the physical make-up of the lake as well as the ecological and biological composition. Eutrophication usually takes thousands of years. However, human interference has greatly accelerated the process by increasing rates of sedimentation and phosphorus loading. China lake has undergone accelerated eutrophication in recent years causing a growing concern for water quality. Algal populations, stimulated …

Assessment Of Squirrel-Caused Power Outages, J. Chris Hamilton, Ron J. Johnson, Ronald M. Case, Michael W. Riley

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Squirrel-caused power outages in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, were evaluated by examining company power outage reports and by consulting with power company representatives. Reports showed that squirrel-caused outages at pole-mounted transformers were most prevalent during May, June, and October (48% of total) and between 1 and 4 h after sunrise (38%), patterns that coincide with squirrel dispersal or morning activity periods. In Lincoln, 1980 and 1981, squirrels caused 177 outages per year, which was 24% of all outages and 90% of animal-caused outages. Estimated minimum annual costs were $23 364 for repairs, public relations, and lost revenue while meters were …
