Characterization of freshwater as a treatment for amyloodiniosis in red drum
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The ectoparasitic dinoflagellate Amyloodinium ocellatum is a problem of long standing in marine aquaria and recently has emerged as a cause of mortality also in marine food-sh-production facilities. The parasitic stage ...
Insecticides and bridge-roosting colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Approximately 100 million Mexican free-tailed bats spend the summer in Texas, many roosting in highway bridges located near intensive agriculture. Bats may acquire insecticide residues indirectly through the food chain or ...
Effectiveness of a conservation education program in changing youth knowledge about wetlands
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The program I evaluated, called the MarshMALLOW Project, teaches wetland conservation issues using an experiential technique that reinforces process skills. Students and teachers in the program collectively designed and ...
The potential effects of sounds from seismic exploration on the distribution of cetaceans in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this study is to determine the possible effects of seismic exploration sounds on distribution of cetaceans in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The study consisted of ten Gulfier research cruises, surveying the ...
Effects of an introduced predator on the native fish assemblage in the Devils River, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The Devils River is regarded as a pristine aquatic system in the semi-arid southwest, but in recent years, there have been declines in certain fish species' abundances, and four fishes in the area are currently listed as ...
Salinity tolerance and avoidance in juvenile paddlefish, Polyodon spathula
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
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 ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of resource heterogeneity and foraging behavior
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Movement patterns reflect how an animal responds to aphics. variations in resource distribution, with important implications for management and conservation concerns. Foraging paths and food items provide a unique opportunity ...
Differential survival and reproduction of mid-western and southeastern eastern wild turkey broodstocks reintroduced into the Post Oak Savannah of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Objectives of this study were to evaluate differences in survival and reproduction between mid-western and southeastern eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) broomsticks used in restoration efforts in the ...
Fish assemblages on coral reefs in Guanaja, Bay Islands, Honduras
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Species composition and relative abundance of ichthyofaunal assemblages on reefs surrounding Guanaja, Bay Islands, Honduras were censused from June through December 1996. Transect and random swim surveys were used to ...
Habitat selection and thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, the alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temminckii)
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Microhabitat selection, physiology, and body size all at-fed thermal biology of ectotherms. In this study, I determined the influence of these variables on the thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, Macroclemys ...
