Parental responses of hispid cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) to intrusion by red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) into simulated nests
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
modon hispidus were observed in simulated nests at 24, 72, and 120 hours of offspring age in the presence (5 different litters observed at each age, n = 15) and absence (6 unique litters observed at each age, n = 6) of ...
Feeding ecology of wild and head started Kemp's ridley sea turtles
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Fecal material from Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kenipii) captured at a Sabine Pass index habitat, adjacent to the southwest Texas-Louisiana border, was examined to describe this species'foraging habits in ...
Impact of the red imported fire ant on newly hatched northern bobwhite
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The response of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) to the presence of red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) during the first 6 days post-hatching was examined in a 9-week-field experiment during spring and summer ...
Management of shallow impoundments to provide emergent and submergent vegetation for waterfowl
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Effects of partial drawdowns, drawdown timing, and tilling on vegetation and seed production for waterfowl were tested in ponds at the Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem Research Facility in north-central Texas. Vegetation lists, ...
Establishment of submergent vegetation and invertebrates in a wetland constructed on mine soil
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Because of their functions in substrate stabilization, nutrient uptake, and wildlife habitat, submerged aquatic macrophytes are essential for successful wetland restoration and creation. However, techniques for establishment ...
The effect of grazing by Littorina irrorata on edaphic and epiphytic communities of salt marsh diatoms
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Samples of natural (ungrazed) and snail-ingested (stomach and fecal) diatom assemblages from a Spartina alterniflora marsh on the southern shore of West Galveston Bay, Texas, were obtained in January, April and August 1992. ...
Cold tolerance of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and thermal-refuge technology to protect this species from cold-kill in aquaculture ponds
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The need to protect red drum in aquaculture ponds from cold-kill led to the development of thermalrefuge technology for overwintering these fish. Successive versions of an experimental thermal refuge were installed and ...

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 ...
