The relative importance of social relations on the success of reintroduction of social ungulates was examined using collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu ). Three objectives of the research were to determine to what extent ...
Variations in abundance of intestinal helminths of gadwalls (Anas Strepera), mottled ducks (Anas fulvigula) and ring-necked ducks (Aythya collaris) wintering in eastern Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Free-ranging anatids were collected during the winters of 1990 through 1992 in Freestone, Chambers and Jefferson Counties, Texas. Intestines from 62 gadwalls (Anas Strepera), 13 mottled ducks (Anas fulvigula) and 13 ring- ...

Habitat use of Golden-Cheeked Warblers in Travis County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) behavior was correlated with microhabitat (i.e., tree species and height) and microhabitat availability. Vegetation in territories was quantitatively described, related to ...
The influence of organic carbon on oxygen dynamics and bacterial sulfate reduction in inland shrimp ponds
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Experiments conducted in saline aquaculture ponds demonstrated that organic matter was the primary factor influencing sediment sulfate reduction rates. Changes in sediment oxygen demand (SOD), sulfate reduction rates, and ...
Implications of Canada, snow, and white-fronted geese and Northern bobwhite as disease reservoirs for the Attwater's prairie-chicken
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
(Pasteurelia multocida) and Trichostrongylus tenuis, may be responsible for the continuing decline of the endangered Attwater's prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri). Because geese are known to contract these and ...

Laboratory studies of salinity tolerance and avoidance in juvenile paddlefish Polyodon spathula were motivated by concern that stocked individuals of this freshwater species might disperse via coastal marine waders. The ...
Patch use under predation hazard: effects of the red imported fire ant on deer mice foraging behavior
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
I compared patch use patterns of deer mice foraging in the presence and absence of a non-conventional predation hazard, red imported fire ants. Deer mice foraged for 60 min in an experimental arena containing two rich and ...
