The specimens taken at Indianola, Texas, by Capt. John Pope during February and March 1855 represent the first collection of birds from this location on the Texas coast. Pope’s “Book of Descriptions” of the Indianola specimens is discussed along with the identities of the birds collected. Specimens of the Greater Scaup, Purple Martin, King Rail, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and American Golden-Plover from Indianola were the first of their species from Texas to be deposited at the Smithsonian Institution.

Project Prairie Birds: A Citizen Science Project For Wintering Grassland Birds, Susan A. Heath, Clifford E. Shackelford, Cecilia M. Riley

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

Coastal prairies are the primary winter destination for two dozen species of migratory grassland birds and losses of this habitat have proven detrimental to their populations. As a result, some of Partners in Flight’s (PIF) highest priority birds are grassland species. To examine grassland bird use of coastal prairies, Project Prairie Birds survey methodology was designed and field work was initiated in 1998. Avian surveys were conducted at 34 sites, each with multiple transects for a minimum of two years by all-volunteer, three-person crews identifying all species flushed from vegetation. Seasonal vegetation surveys measured five variables using five one square-meter …

Use Of Artificial Burrows By Western Burrowing Owls And Other Vertebrates During Winter In Southern Texas, Jennifer L. Keppers, Mary Kay Skoruppa, Marc C. Woodin, Graham C. Hickman

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

Burrows are an integral part of the natural history of the Western Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea), however, mammal burrows are uncommon in southern Texas where the Burrowing Owl overwinters. Seventy-two artificial burrows of 2.4 m length were monitored regularly for Burrowing Owl and other vertebrate use over two non-breeding seasons (October through March, 2001 to 2003). Six types of burrows, differing in diameter (15, 20, or 25 cm) and number of openings (two or three), were monitored. Small-diameter (15 cm) burrows accounted for 79% of all Burrowing Owl use. Burrowing Owl use of artificial burrows was not related to …

The Effectiveness Of Instructional Methods Based On Learning Style Preferences Of Agricultural Students: A Research Tool For Continuous Improvement For Faculty In Career And Technical Education (Cte) Programs, Dominick E. Fazarro, Tim Pannkuk, Dwayne Pavelock, Darcy Hubbard

Journal of STEM Teacher Education

This study was conducted to research learning style preferences of agriculture students. Specifically, the objectives which guided the study were: (1) to determine the learning style preferences of undergraduate agricultural students enrolled in a given Soil Science course and (2) to ascertain if there were differences in the students’ course grade average (CGA) in the given Soil Science course when the treatment group were taught according to their learning style preferences versus the control group. For research question two, there was a hypothesis statement to determine if modifying the instructional approach to the students’ learning style preference for the treatment …

Lis Open Access E-Journal -Where Are You?, Izabella Taler

Publications and Research

Access to published information is of interest to many users. Library and information science (LIS) professionals are especially interested in gaining access and guiding users to all available information. Though they are often dependent on traditional subscription-based library resources, moving away from the costly ones and replacing them with usage of available open access sources, presents practitioners with a significant budget consideration in today's shrinking economy. This paper examines the availability of current LIS open access e-journals; their presence in well- and less-well known abstracting and indexing sources, their inclusion in standard library bibliographic tools as well as coverage by …

Of Muslim Persuasion: The Politics Of Convivencia In Ceuta, Spain, Gabriel Alejandro Torres Colón

Anthropology ETDs

This dissertation examines everyday interactions and political struggles between self-identified Christians and Muslims in the North African Spanish exclave of Ceuta. I explore how each group envisions themselves as part of a local and national community, and then I consider how such visions affect local political processes in everyday life and institutional politics. This dissertation brings a political anthropological perspective to the study of multiculturalism and presents a theoretical perspective for the study of difference in various political contexts.
