Wading birds are common, with fall migration bringing numerous species of waterfowl and shorebirds, as well as white pelicans that feed and rest in shallow waters of the marsh pond and the Indian River Lagoon. Pine flatwoods provide habitat for resident and migratory songbirds. Red-tailed hawks,...
(Demaree 1932)), the concentration of aquatic biota in isolated floodplain pools that enable wading birds to feed (Bancroft and other 1990), and allow access to floodplain resources by wildlife species that usually inhabit upland and seldom-inundated plant communities (Harris and Gosselink 1990). ...
The young whoopers have shown a similar pattern of movement and pen use to the previous cohort – roosting outside the pen at night but using the pen during the day, primarily in the afternoons. However, with more water across the marsh this group of birds is beginning to range further aw...
The article offers information on the Everglades Tours, which explore the flatlands, the marshlands and the waterways of south Florida in search of birds, being operated by the National Audobon Society. Five different tours are run by th... H Sutton - 《Sports Illustrated》 被引量: 0发表:...
Mangroves are tropical, salt-tolerant trees that grow in the intertidal zone of coastal waters. They don't tolerate cold weather, particularly extreme freezes, during which they die and get replaced by coastal salt marshes.
Our objectives were to (1) evaluate the effect of flight altitude on the behavior of marsh birds, (2) evaluate the effect of altitude on a surveyor's ability to identify the species of detected birds, and (3) test protocols for upcoming MODU surveys. We flew 120 continuously moving ...
However, the majority of studies assess lower trophic level arthropods and fishes, or occasionally birds [8], while the response of higher trophic level predators (e.g., sportfish) remains relatively understudied [9]. Predator populations play an important role in regulating ecosystem health, yet...
The family Paramyxoviridae comprises enveloped negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that infect birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles. Several paramyxoviruses affect humans, including measles, mumps, and parainfluenza viruses. Paramyxoviruses are frequently associated with respiratory infections and ...
