3-dimensional evaluation of wing movement in ground birds during flap-running and level flight an ontogenetic study / To better understand the versatility of the avian wing, we also studied juvenile birds as they negotiated their 3-dimensional, terrestrial environment, from a period of pre-flight to adulthood. Juvenile precocial ground birds flap their developing wings from the day they hatch in order to attain elevated refuges and to descend safely from heights. The wing kinematics of pre-flight juveniles employing WAIR and controlled flapping descent (CFD) compare to those of the adult respectively performing WAIR and flying, but are awkward and clumsy. The kinematic variables observed can be organized into two groups (neuromuscular/behavioral, and growth) based on developmental patterns. In order to survive their vulnerable pre-flight stage, juveniles negotiate their complex environment by creating aerodynamic forces, conferred by their incipient wings, to flap-run up slopes to safety, and flap down to return to the ground. WAIR and CFD illustrate the incrementally adaptive uses of the ontogenetically developing wing and may be reflective of functional transitions during the evolutionary development of avian flight |

Activity patterns and habitat associations of Kemp's ridley turtles, Lepidochelys kempi, in the coastal waters of the Cedar Keys, Florida Habitat associations of Kemp's ridley turtles were analyzed in terms of availability, utilization, and preference using compositional analyses. Forty-eight percent of the study area consisted of sand bottom, but over half of the sand sites had rock outcroppings. Seagrasses comprised 16% of the available habitat, green macroalgae comprised 12%, live bottom and red macroalgae each comprised 7%, and the Corrigan Reef oyster bars comprised < 2%. Six of the turtles utilized unvegetated sand and rock bottom surrounding Corrigan Reef (65-78% of foraging ranges and 64-82% of locations), and three turtles utilized the vegetated southern region (37-64% of foraging ranges and 31-57% of locations). Compositional analyses indicated that turtles used rock outcroppings in their foraging ranges at a significantly higher proportion than available within the study area. Additionally, live bottom and green macroalgae were utilized significantly more than seagrasses. Water depth ranged from intertidal oyster reefs to depths > 3 m, but turtles preferred 1-3 m depths within their foraging ranges. Daily activities of turtles were attributed to food acquisition and bioenergetics, while their habitat associations may be correlated to habitat structure, prey availability, competition, and developmental stage |

Analysis of the ash weight and elemental composition in caribou (Rangifer tarandus) faecal pellets collected at Colomac and other sites in the NWT / Barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus) faecal pellets were collected from several sites in the NWT and analysed for evidence of exposure to major dust and soil sources using two methods. The collection sites included two areas of tailings at the Colomac mine (abandoned), with on-site and off-site control areas and seasonal ranges, and sites at or near the Ekati and Diavik diamond mines. Insoluble ash content of the faecal material averaged 9.3% of the dry matter (D.M.) and varied significantly between sites. A group of samples from the tailings areas at Colomac had elevated ash contents and exceeded 30% of dry matter in five samples. Based on several assumptions, the dietary soil intake necessary to achieve the high ash contents in the faecal samples from Colomac would exceed 50% of the diet in one sample. The average ash content of all the samples collected from the tailings area at Colomac was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the off-site control samples. Ash from the faecal pellets was chemically similar to tailings collected at Colomac. Consistent differences were also observed between the Ekati samples and those from natural range areas, although the variance explained by the associations was relatively low. The results of the study are generally consistent with published reports on high rates of soil ingestion at lick sites by ungulates. This ingestion can result in very high levels of soil in the diet, similar to the maximum levels noted here. The ecological risk assessment for Colomac included an explicit soil ingestion model for caribou which assumed an ingestion rate of 20% of the diet. The data in the present study support the use of this average value but indicate that maximum values may range as high as 50% in some caribou. The study was not designed to describe the amount of the elements absorbed by caribou which have ingested the tailings |

Applying risk allocation theory in a large mammal predator-prey system elk-wolf behavioral interactions / Understanding the behaviorally-mediated indirect effects of predators in ecosystems requires knowledge of predator-prey behavioral interactions, and the risk allocation hypothesis can be used to make predictions about such interactions. In predator-ungulate-plant systems, empirical research quantifying how predators affect ungulate group sizes and distribution, in the context of other influential variables, is particularly needed. We determined non-predation variables that affect elk (Cervus elaphus) group sizes and distribution on a winter range in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), using regression analyses of 1219 elk groups counted and mapped over 12 years prior to wolf (Canis lupus) recolonization. We next examined the relevance of these non-wolf-predation variables in the presence of wolves using logistic and linear regression on surveys of 513 1-km2 areas conducted over 2 years. Using model selection techniques, we evaluated risk allocation and other a priori hypotheses of elk group size and distributional responses to wolf predation risk while accounting for influential nonwolf-predation variables. We found little evidence that wolves affect elk group sizes, which were strongly influenced by habitat type. Following predictions from the risk allocation hypothesis, wolves likely created a more dynamic elk distribution in areas that they frequently hunted, as elk tended to move during the period of safety following wolf encounters in those areas. We predict that this distributional response to wolf predation risk should decrease the spatial heterogeneity of elk impacts on grasslands in areas that wolves frequently hunt. We also predict that this response should decrease browsing pressure on heavily-browsed woody plant stands in certain areas, which is supported by recent research in the GYE. This research highlights the importance of predator-prey behavioral interactions in large mammal systems |

Artificial cover objects for leiopelmatid frogs / Artificial cover objects (ACOs) for monitoring Leiopelma archeyi and L. hochstetteri frogs were designed and tested in the Waikato region, New Zealand. Occupancy of 119 covers of 7 different designs was recorded between May 1998 and March 2002. From March 2001 the covers were visited monthly. In the course of 1260 cover checks, a total of 26 L. archeyi and 17 L. hochstetteri were found insided the trial ACOs. Most of the designs were used by frogs but to different extents (occupancy ranging from 0% to 21%). Analyses of these results are reported and the suitability of the designs for use in monitoring frog populations is discussed |

Assessing habitat quality for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker This project had 2 major objectives. The first objective was to assess how well the revised U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Foraging Habitat Guidelines depict good quality habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) at Camp Lejeune, NC. To accomplish this, I used multiple linear and logistic regression to examine the relationships between fitness, habitat use, home range size, and habitat characteristics described in the guidelines. I assumed that habitat characteristics that confer quality were related to higher fitness, greater habitat use, and reduced home range size. To a large extent, the guidelines are validated. Red-cockaded woodpeckers responded favorably to habitat that mimics the historical, mature, and fire-maintained pine forests of the southeastern U.S., characterized by high densities of large pines, low densities of small and medium pines, and a lush herbaceous groundcover. Variables positively associated with habitat use and fitness were associated with reduced home range size, and those negatively associated with habitat use and fitness with increased home range size. Percent herbaceous groundcover was a significant regressor indicative of quality in every model. The second objective was to assess how well USFWS foraging partitions represent habitat used by red-cockaded woodpeckers. I conducted home range follows of 23 groups of red-cockaded woodpeckers and estimated the percentage of each home range encompassed by partitions of varying radii. The percentage of the actual home range included in the partition increased as a function of partition radius. The standard 800 m circular partition, on average, included 91% of the home range, but significant variation existed between groups |

Autopsy of pinnipeds incidentally caught in commercial fisheries, 2002/03 and 2003/04 / All animals were retrieved from trawl nets and had lesions consistent with death from asphyxiation. Severe lesions sustained by 23 sea lions would probably have compromised survival had they not drowned in the nets. The other sea lions had moderate or mild trauma that probably would not have compromised survival had they escaped the net. All the fur seals and the southern elephant seal sustained severe trauma and/or had aspirated regurgitate |

bibliographic database on stoats and weasels / This paper describes an international bibliographic database of 1213 papers, notes, books and unpublished reports dating between 1877 and 2004. It includes all available information on stoats and weasels (Mustela erminea, M. nivalis and M. frenata) ranging from casual observations to high-powered analyses. The database is listed in a searchable, interactive form on a website, www.feral.org.au, and as a simple reference list at bio.waikato.ac.nz/staff/bibliography.pdf. The listing will be regularly updated, but this introductory analysis reveals some interesting general trends so far. (1) Most of the world literature on small mustelids (53% of 1213 entries) describes work done outside New Zealand before 1990. This international literature offers a very large resource to mustelid biologists in New Zealand, which we should not ignore and cannot afford to repeat, although it should be treated with caution. The database is intended to provide easy access to this important background information. (2) New Zealand is now the world centre for research on mustelids, especially stoats: more papers on stoats have been published here--mostly (243 of 321) since 1990--than in the whole of Europe over a much longer period. (3) The database illustrates some major differences in the type of papers published about small mustelids in different parts of the world, and historical trends in publication rates by geographic region (steady in Europe; declining in America and Russia; accelerating in New Zealand). It also provides a useful framework within which to examine some historical trends in conservation priorities within New Zealand |

Birds and burns of the interior West : descriptions, habitats, and management in western forests / Cavity-nesting birds responded more favorably than open-cup nesting species. Trees weakened by fire attract bark and wood-boring beetles--an important food source for woodpeckers--and are also more easily excavated for nesting than green trees. Retention of large-diameter trees and snags allows for population persistence of cavity-nesting birds. Overall, a greater percentage of birds, both migrants and residents, showed a response to prescribed burns during the year of the treatment than in the year after. Fewer species responded 1 year after treatments, which suggests that the influence of prescribed fire on these birds may be short term. Responses to prescribed fire were variable for migratory birds, whereas residents generally had positive or neutral responses. We found that prescribed burn treatments not only destroy snags, but also recruit snags of all sizes. Managers are faced with a variety of options for fuels and fire management. Our results indicate that both prescribed burning and fire suppression influence habitats and populations of wildlife |

Birds and butterflies in Swedish urban and peri-urban habitats : a landscape perspective / Urbanization is considered to be one of the largest threats to biodiversity although little is known about the effect of habitat fragmentation on native flora and fauna in urban areas in general, and in Sweden specifically. In this thesis, data have been collected using remote sensing analyses of 100 cities, bird surveys in 34 cities, and experiments have been used to answer specific questions regarding dispersal and reproduction in different urban habitats. The dual processes of infill development and expansion of cities threaten remaining unprotected urban woodlands. Results showed that between 1 and 40% (average of 20%) of the proportion of the city area were comprised of urban woodland. Urban and peri-urban (surrounding) woodlands covered an area larger than the total area of protected forests in Sweden and had higher amounts of dead wood than typical non-protected forests. In contrast to previous studies, this thesis showed that many bird species breeding in urban woodlands were strongly affected by the surrounding city or landscape composition. On a smaller spatial scale (200 m), adjacent habitats affected population density and nestling quality of great tits Parus major breeding within urban woodlands. Movement corridors were only used by butterfly habitat specialists, and grassland corridors of intermediate quality seemed to be most efficient to promote dispersal among habitat fragments. In this thesis, I show that Sweden have relatively high proportion urban woodlands; urbanisation does not necessarily lead to a homogenization of the bird fauna; urban habitats need to be well described in detail to allow comparisons among studies; bird faunas of local urban woodlands differ among regions and are strongly affected by composition of habitats both at city and landscape levels; movement corridors may be an efficient conservation tool if specifically managed to fit the autecologies of the species of conservation concern |

Birds of the braided riverbeds of southern Marlborough, New Zealand / This report covers surveys of six river-dependent species: South Island pied oystercatcher, Haematopus ostralegus; pied stilt, Himantopus himantopus; banded dotterel, Charadrius bicinctus; black-fronted dotterel, Charadrius melanops; black-billed gull, Larus bulleri; and black-fronted tern, Sterna albostriata, on seven rivers in the southern Marlborough area: Wairau River, Awatere River, Waima (Ure) River, Clarence River, Hapuku River, Kowhai River, Kahutara River. The black-fronted tern, a Category B threatened species, was breeding on four of the rivers, and the total number of birds recorded for this species on the Wairau constituted 29% of the estimated national total. The banded dotterel, a Category C threatened species, was observed widely and was breeding on all rivers but the Clarence. The black-fronted dotterel, a recent immigrant from Australia, was recorded in low numbers, but breeding where it was seen |

Boreal caribou habitat and land use planning in the Deh Cho region, Northwest Territories / Boreal caribou Rangifer tarandus are nationally listed as Threatened. Land use jurisdictions, including communities and land claim organizations, will have to identify, steward and monitor boreal caribou habitat both for land use planning in the Deh Cho Region (southern Northwest Territories (NWT)) and for recovery planning in the NWT. Mapping current distribution (occupation) and potential habitat use (occurrence) for boreal caribou is a first step for both land use planning and recovery planning. We modeled occurrence at the landscape scale using generalized additive model analysis and Akaike Information Criterion with habitat information from spectral classification and habitat attributes such as cutlines, fire -history and elevation. The Deh Cho First Nations database of lifetime harvest kill sites and sightings from an aerial survey in March 2002 revealed that boreal caribou occupation has not changed at the regional level. Observations of boreal caribou fit relatively well with occurrence predicted from the modeling. Boreal caribou were strongly associated with black spruce and lichen on uplands and in lowlands |

British Columbia longspine thornyhead fishery analysis of survey and commercial data, 1996-2003 This report presents an analysis of the biomass survey conducted annually 2001-03 on the deep water population of longspine thornyheads off the west coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI). It examines the survey data in the context of a coastwide longspine fishery that began in 1996 and extended northward from WCVI into two northern regions, Tidemarks and Rennell. Because the survey has limited coverage in space and time, that analysis is compared with similar analyses of commercial catch per unit effort data in WCVI & the two northern regions, where no surveys exist. It presents an integrated framework of three mathematical models for making these comparisons: swept-area biomass estimates, standardized catch rates with fixed effects for various factors, and swept-area biomass estimates with standardized vessel effects. The paper concludes with recommendations for planning future surveys, integrating data from surveys & commercial fisheries, planning future reductions in the commercial fishery, and improving the basic biological information available for this species |

Captive rearing and biology of the endangered giant land snails Placostylus ambagiosus and P. hongii (Pulmonata:Bulimulidae) / Rearing of the land snails Placostylus ambagiosus paraspiritus, P. a. michiei, and P. hongii in captivity was investigated as a conservation management option for establishing new populations of these threatened animals. Snails were kept in the laboratory with mostly karaka, Corynocarpus laevigatus, leaves as food. Snails were exposed to differing frequencies of handling, crowding conditions, and given different substrates in which to lay eggs. Less frequent disturbance resulted in better survival in P. ambagiosus. Both P. ambagiosus and P. hongii laid clutches of 1-84 similarly sized eggs buried up to 2 cm deep, but the species appeared to have different substrate size preferences. Placostylus ambagiosus kept singly or in pairs grew larger than those in the wild. Crowding reduced growth rate, increased mortality, and resulted in smaller adults. Captive-bred adult P. ambagiosus lived for 3.3-11.4 y: one adult P. hongii lived for 2.6 y and another lived for 4.6 y before being translocated onto an island. Both Placostylus ambagiosus and P. hongii can be successfully reared in captivity, in the laboratory, and large numbers of snails can potentially be produced, albeit with substantial costs. Although potentially risky for augmenting existing populations, these protocols may enable the establishment of new populations of these snails |
