Population ecology and monitoring of the endangered Devils Hole pupfish
We assessed four potential sources of error in estimating size of the population of Devils Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis); net, time of day, diver, and order of diver. Experimental dives (3/day) were conducted during 4 days in July 2009. Effects of the four sources of error on estimates from dive surveys were analyzed using a split-split plot ANOVA. Diver and order of diver had no significa...
متن کاملDigging the pupfish out of its hole: risk analyses to guide harvest of Devils Hole pupfish for captive breeding
The Devils Hole pupfish is restricted to one wild population in a single aquifer-fed thermal pool in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Since 1995 the pupfish has been in a nearly steady decline, where it was perched on the brink of extinction at 35-68 fish in 2013. A major strategy for conserving the pupfish has been the establishment of additional captive or "refuge" populations, bu...
متن کاملTesting an ecophysiological mechanism of morphological plasticity in pupfish and its relevance to conservation efforts for endangered Devils Hole pupfish.
Imperiled species that have been translocated or established in captivity can show rapid alterations in morphology and behavior, but the proximate mechanisms of such phenotypic changes are rarely known. Devils Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) are endemic to a single desert pool and are characterized by a small body, large head and eyes, and lack of pelvic fins. To lessen the risk of extinctio...

متن کاملDating of the devils hole calcite vein.
et al. (2) present a long, continuous, highresolution climate record extracted from a calcite vein in Devils Hole, Nevada. If their dating is accurate, the record appears to contradict the Milankovitch hypothesis (3). Dating of subsamples of the vein was done with the use of well-established principles of 230Th dating (4) and with recently developed techniques for precise measurement of 230Th a...
