Characteristics of wild turkey hunters in Texas: comparing turkey stamp buyers to members of the National Wild Turkey Federation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis examined wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hunters in Texas. It also examined the differences between people who are members of the Texas Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, and people who are not ...
Temporal and spatial variability of blenny (Perciformes:Labrisomidae and Blenniidae) assemblages on Texas jetties
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Structured, hard-bottom habitats and associated cryptic fish species were effectively absent from the northwestern Gulf of Mexico coast prior to jetty construction 120 years ago. Fishes in the Families Labrisomidae and ...
Design and evaluation of deer guards for Florida Key Deer
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Because of increased deer/vehicle collisions involving endangered Florida Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) developed a plan to construct a fence along a portion of ...
Environmental factors influencing fish assemblage structure in a naturally saline river system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This study documents fish assemblages and their relationships to instream, riparian, and land use/cover variables that could be affected by a proposed reduction of chlorides in the Wichita River in Texas. The North, Middle, ...
Water column characterization of anchialine caves in Quintana Roo, Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Water column characteristics of three coastal cave systems in Quintana Roo, Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula were profiled from January 1996 to July 1997. A Hydrolab Data Sonde 3 Multiprobe Logger was used to acquire in ...
Abiotic and biotic factors affecting nonrandom distributions of Chihuahuan Desert anurans
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Distributions of Texas toad (Bufo speciosus), Couch's spadefoot toad (Scaphiopus couchii), narrow mouthed toad (Gastrophryne olivacea), red spotted toad (Bufo punctatus), and western green toad (Bufo debilis) are nonrandomly ...
Effects of variable ration levels on direct and indirect measures of growth in juvenile red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Otolith growth is often used as a proxy for fish growth; however, for red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) no experimental studies have demonstrated a coupling of somatic and otolith growth under variable environmental conditions. ...
Utilization of salt marsh edge habitats by newly settled Sciaenids in a subtropical estuary
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Postsettlement patterns of habitat use along salt marsh shorelines of West Galveston Bay, Texas were examined for the bay spawning spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), inshore spawning red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), ...
Local attitudes, knowledge and values regarding natural resource use in the range of the Maroon-fronted Parrot in northeastern Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
New ecosystem management policies for a national park in northeastern Mexico emphasize the need for stakeholder participation. To facilitate public participation, an environmental education program should be designed for ...
Morphological and ecological convergence in two natricine snakes
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Similar morphologies between species may derive due to shared ancestry, convergent evolution, or chance. I studied morphological similarity, trait evolution, and functional significance of ecologically relevant traits in ...
