American Ecology, 1968

Latin American scientific contribution to ecology.

Latin America embodies countries of special interest for ecological studies, given that areas with great value for biodiversity are located within their territories. This highlights the importance of an evaluation of ecological research in the Latin America region. We assessed the scientific participation of Latin American researchers in ecological journals, patterns of international collaborat...

Wintering Ecology of Adult North American Ospreys

—North American Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) typically migrate long distances to their wintering grounds in the tropics. Beyond the general distribution of their wintering range (i.e., the Caribbean, South America, and Central America), very little is known about the wintering ecology of these birds. We used satellite telemetry to determine the duration of wintering period, to examine the charac...

Feeding ecology of North American gopher snakes

Studies of food relations are important to our understanding of ecology at the individual, population and community levels. Detailed documentation of the diet of large-bodied, widespread snakes allows us to assess size-dependent and geographical variation in feeding preferences of gape-limited predators. Furthermore, with knowledge of the food habits of sympatric taxa we can explore possible ca...

variable following an identical probability distribution as the arrival process. A new estimation method of the average travel time uses a crosscorrelation analysis of traffic flow measurement data. This method requires only traffic flow information, which is available from the measurements of single loop detectors upstream and downstream from one link. Different from the existing maximum cross...
