Amphibian and Small Mammal Assemblages in a Northern Virginia Forest Before and After Defoliation by Gypsy Moths (Lymantria dispar)
The introduced European gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) caused substantial defoliation and mortality of oak trees along the North Fork of Quantico Creek in Prince William Forest Park, Prince William County, Virginia, U.S.A., in 1989 and the early 1990s. Results of a drift fence/pitfall study conducted in 1988 were compared to those obtained from the same technique in the same areas in 1993 to elu...
متن کاملTree Mortality in Mixed Pine-Hardwood Stands Defoliated by the European Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar L.)
Defoliation by the European gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) and subsequent tree mortality have been well documented in the northeastern United States. In this study we evaluate tree mortality after initial defoliation in mixed pine-hardwood stands in the southeastern United States as the range of European gypsy moth expands. In 1993, 46 mature pine-oak and pine-sweetgum stands were selected on...
متن کاملTropical Ecology: Riparian Corridors Connect Fragmented Forest Bird Populations
Landscape corridors connecting habitat patches may help overcome the genetic and demographic problems of small and isolated populations. An elegant field experiment shows that some Costa Rican forest birds will use 'riparian' (river margin) corridors to get back home, but they can be picky about corridor quality.
متن کاملCrabgrass, Measles, and Gypsy Moths: an Introduction to Modern Probability
This paper is based on a talk given at the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in San Antonio, Texas, January 21-24, 1978. The subject is interacting particle systems and the aim of the paper, like that of the talk, is to explain some of the results in this area to someone with no knowledge of probability theory except for an understanding of what it means to flip a coin with pr...
متن کاملNesting Ecology of Alligators in Louisiana
According to McIlhenny (1935) the alligator, Alligator m'!8Stsstppiensis, with the exception of the crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, of southern Florida, is by far the largest reptile inhabiting the United States. This species is found throughout Louisiana, with the bulk of the population located in the coastal marshes of the state. During the late 1950's concern for the survival of this species a...
