The influence of littoral zone structural complexity on fish assemblages in Lake Conroe, TX
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The littoral zone of an East Texas reservoir was surveyed to determine if any characteristic fish assemblages were associated with four different habitat types with varying levels of structural complexity. A stratified ...
A genetic approach to the study of population structure in white-tailed deer :: evidence from the Noble Foundation Wildlife Unit
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A panel of DNA microsatellite markers was developed in order to simultaneously analyze multiple genetic loci in the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). These markers were multiplexed and visualized on an automated ...
Breeding and wintering bird occurence in Texas rangelands with special reference to woody plant encroachment
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Within the past 150 years, rangeland vegetation in Texas has undergone a large-scale conversion from grasslands and savannas to shrublands and woodlands. Concurrently, grassland bird species have shown more declining ...
Early periphyton accumulation and composition in a wastewater effluent dominated stream: effects of season, distance from discharge, and flow regime
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Municipal wastewater effluent can alter the receiving stream's algal production and community structure by affecting natural hydrologic patterns and nutrient availability. In this thesis, early succession periphyton ...
Assessment of bycatch associated with the inshore shrimp fishery in Matagorda Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Trawl samples were collected from shrimping vessels throughout the Matagorda Bay System during the 1997 and 1998 Spring and Fall inshore commercial food shrimp seasons. These samples were used to estimate the level of ...
Fatty acid composition and distribution in the blubber of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) blubber is heterogeneous, and divided into sub-epidermal, middle, and deep layers. This is consistent with other studies that have shown how odontocete blubber is variable in ...
Habitat associations of fish assemblages in the Sulphur River, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
As part of an instream flow study, information on summer distribution of fishes and habitat variables was collected from six sites at each of three flows in the Sulphur River, Texas. I evaluated (1) spatiotemporal ...
Homesite attendance as a measure of alloparental and parental care by gray wolves (Canis lupus) in northern Yellowstone National Park
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Cooperative breeding in mammals is quite rare. Helping with care of young by alloparents tends to be associated with monogamous family groups where dispersal of alloparents is delayed. This study focused on homesite ...
Fatty acid composition of common dolphin blubber
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Sixty-five fatty acids were quantified in the blubber of two closely related species of common dolphin (Delphinus delphis, D. capensis) from the coast of southern California. Dolphins were grouped according to gender, ...
