Habitat Selection by Juvenile Mojave Desert Tortoises
Growing pressure to develop public lands for renewable energy production places several protected species at increased risk of habitat loss. One example is the Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), a species often at the center of conflicts over public land development. For this species and others on public lands, a better understanding of their habitat needs can help minimize negative i...
متن کاملHabitat-mediated foraging limitations drive survival bottlenecks for juvenile salmon.
Realistic population models and effective conservation strategies require a thorough understanding of mechanisms driving stage-specific mortality. Mortality bottlenecks for many species occur in the juvenile stage and are thought to result from limitation on food or foraging habitat during a "critical period" for growth and survival. Without a way to account for maternal effects or to measure i...
متن کاملHabitat-mediated size selection in endangered Atlantic salmon fry: selectional restoration assessment
Preservation of adaptive variation is a top priority of many species restoration programs, but most restoration activities are conducted without direct knowledge of selection that might foster or impair adaptation and restoration goals. In this study, we quantified geographic variation in selection on fry size of endangered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during the 6-week period immediately foll...

In January 2009, the Commission will publish the ninth document in its Habitat Management Series entitled, Atlantic Coast Diadromous Fish Habitat: A Review of Utilization, Threats, Recommendations for Conservation, and Research Needs, by Karen E. Greene, Jennifer L. Zimmerman, and R. Wilson Laney. While the document is going through the publication process, we thought we would give you a glance...
متن کاملHabitat Hotline Atlantic
Working towards healthy, self-sustaining populations of all Atlantic coast fish species or successful restoration well in progress by the year 2015. Lionfish behavior is notably different in its introduced range. In their native range, lionfish are solitary, nocturnal predators. But in the Atlantic, they have been found with full stomachs during the day, suggesting active daytime foraging. Also...
