Reproductive Success Of Piping Plovers On Alkali Lakes In North Dakota And Montana, Robert K. Murphy, Michael J. Rabenberg, Marriah L. Sondreal, Bruce R. Casler, Debra A. Guenther

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Low reproductive success is thought to be a chief cause of the steady decline in numbers of piping plover (Charadrius melodus) that nest in the northern Great Plains. Surprisingly, few reproductive success data are published from alkali lakes in the region, where most breeding pairs of piping plover nest. During 1994 to 1997 we measured nest success and fledging rates of piping plovers at 32 alkali lakes across northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana, at the center of the species' breeding range in the Great Plains. Annual nest success and fledging rates averaged 38% (Mayfield estimate; 20 to …

Review Of Parasites Of North American Freshwater Fishes, Second Edition, Wilmer A. Rodgers

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

In this second edition, the author uses the traditional better-known taxonomy, although a table listing the contemporary (or future) classification is presented in the foreword. The beginning of the book covers the public health aspects of fish parasites, and discusses methods of examining and collecting fish, and then preserving and making permanent preparations. These sections will be very helpful to students and researchers, as are the sections that list parasites by location in fish. The next sections present major groups of parasites and detailed genera and species. Drawings and photographs make identification relatively easy. An important addition to this second …

Non-Native Species Interactions: Management Implications To Aid In Recovery Of The Colorado Pikeminnow Ptychocheilus Lucius And Razorback Sucker Xyrauchen Texanus In The San Juan River, Co-Nm-Ut, James E. Brooks, Michael J. Buntjer, Jude R. Smith

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

As part of the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program (SJRIP), investigations of non-native fishes were conducted during 1991-1997 to characterize interactions with native fishes. The impacts of non-native fish species on natives has often been identified as a key impact, along with habitat alteration, that facilitates loss of native biological diversity. In the San Juan River, the endangered Colorado pikeminnow Ptychocheilus lucius and razorback sucker Xyrauchen texanus, as well as the other members of the native fish community, are the focus of the SJRIP. A major component of native fish recovery efforts in the San Juan River …

Contaminant Residue Analysis Of Fish Tissues From Marais Des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge - Kansas, John F. Miesner

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) was added to the National Wildlife Refuge system in 1992. The Refuge occupies approximately 2,550 ha of bottomland hardwoods habitats along the Marais des Cygnes River in Linn County, Kansas.

During public involvement in acquisition planning, the Service committed to opening the Refuge to recreational fishing. There are several water bodies on the Refuge which would provide recreational fishing opportunities. These include abandoned coal strip mines, small man-made farm ponds, and the Marais des Cygnes River and several tributaries to the river. Fish have been established in the coal mine and farm ponds …

Effects To Listed Species From Operations Of The Federal Columbia River Power System

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the biological assessment (BA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents dated December, 1999 submitted by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Corps of Engineers (Corps), and the Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) (also referred to as action agencies) regarding operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). The action agencies’ request for formal consultation was received in December, 1999. This document represents the Service’s biological opinion of the effects of the proposed action on two listed fish species: the endangered Kootenai River white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus); and the threatened …

Mourning Dove: Breeding Population Status, 2000, David D. Dolton, Graham W. Smith

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

This report includes Mourning Dove Call-count Survey information gathered over the last 35 years within the conterminous United States. Trends were calculated for the most recent 2- and 10-year intervals and for the entire 35-year period. Between 1999 and 2000, the average number of doves heard per route did not change significantly in the Eastern and Western Management Units. A significant decrease was detected in the Central Unit. Additionally, significant declines were indicated for doves heard over the 10 and 35-year periods in all 3 Units. In contrast, for doves seen, no trends were indicated over the 10- and 35-year …

Adaptive Regulation Of Waterfowl Harvests: Lessons Learned And Prospects For The Future, Fred A. Johnson, Dave J. Case

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Waterfowl managers in North America have been relentless in their pursuit of biological understanding, driven by a conviction that “science” eventually will provide the certitude necessary for effective management policies. Today, the system of waterfowl management in North America is unparalleled among conservation programs in terms of scope, complexity, and cost (Hawkins et al. 1984). The record of accomplishment has been impressive, especially when compared with the more somber accounts of resource exploitation and collapse that tend to characterize much of the history of natural resource development (Ludwig et al. 1993). For all of the success, however, great uncertainty persists …

Review, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Like Paul Rezendes' The Wild Within: Adventures in Nature and Animal Teachings (see Taproot, summer 1999), Dan Dustin has penned a collection of essays about adventure-based outdoor recreation experiences set mostly in the context of mountains, forests, and deserts. Both authors share how nature has served to expand their awareness and understanding of life and stress the value of frequent self-reflection. Unlike Rezendes, Dustin also includes six essays suggesting that what makes life interesting "flows out of everyday pastimes" such as visiting with friends, playing games, listening to music, and enjoying good food.

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

There are many uses for poetry: an expression of emotion, an experiment in language, a political act, or a work of art. Poetry also comes in many forms, from a 3- line haiku to a book-length epic. But all poetry is about using language in a unique way-it says things that cannot be said in prose or speech. The exercises below help poets to stimulate their imaginations, sharpen their tools and stretch their limits. You'll also find verses from poets that roughly correspond to the exercises-let them inspire you!

Desert Solitaire: Using Literature To Develop A Sense Of Place And Stewardship Of Wilderness In High School Students, Cindy Lee Falsken Zacks

Theses Digitization Project

The Desert Solitaire curriculum was designed as a basis for exploring Edward Abbey's book, of the same name, in a high school field ecology class. Students read the book over a period of six weeks during the middle of the school year. Lessons were designed to aid students in exploring their home ecosystem, the Mojave Desert, via comparison with Arches National Monument as described in Desert Solitaire. This exploration fosters in students a sense of place and connection with their home environment. With little alteration, the curriculum can be used by students to examine their own ecosystem, even if it …

Incomplete Cd8 + T Lymphocyte Differentiation As A Mechanism For Subdominant Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses To A Viral Antigen, Juliet V. Spencer, Thomas J. Braciale

Biology Faculty Publications

CD8⁺ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize antigen in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Class I epitopes have been classified as dominant or subdominant depending on the magnitude of the CTL response to the epitope. In this report, we have examined the in vitro memory CTL response of H-2^d haplotype murine CD8⁺ T lymphocytes specific for a dominant and subdominant epitope of influenza hemagglutinin using activation marker expression and staining with soluble tetrameric MHC–peptide complexes. Immune CD8⁺ T lymphocytes specific for the dominant HA204-210 epitope give rise to CTL effectors that display …
