Although amphibians are the dominant vertebrate inhabiting playa wetlands during spring and summer in the Southern Great Plains, little is known about their diet and role in playa trophic structure. Because new metamorphs are more numerous than other terrestrial life stages of amphibians, we describe the diets of recently (,2 weeks) metamorphosed Great Plains toad (Bufo cognatus), barred tiger ...

Remote sensing and field evidence are used to describe sand deposits found in associated pathways of emplacement in the eastern Mojave Desert. Two separate pathways are identified here: one extending eastward from the Bristol Playa through the Cadiz and Danby Playas and Rice Valley to the Colorado River, and a second parallel path extending eastward from Dale Playa through the Palen and Ford Pl...

Playas are ecologically and hydrologically important ephemeral wetlands found in arid semi-arid regions of the world. Urbanization, changes agricultural land use irrigation practices, climate change all threaten playas. While variations playa inundation on Great Plains North America have been previously analyzed by satellite using annual decadal time scales, no study to our knowledge has monito...

In drylands, both dust storms and ephemeral salt lakes (playas) are common. Observations using remote sensing and ground studies have shown that these playas can be major sources of saline dust storms. Some basins have recently become desiccated as a result of water abstraction by humans, and these have become significant sources of dust. The timing and amounts of dust emissions depends on such...

(August 2007) Jack Eric Stenner, B.E.D.; M.S., Texas A&M University Co-chairs of Advisory Committee: Prof. Carol LaFayette, MFA Dr. Andruid Kerne The introduction of digital media into the working practice of artists has produced challenges previously unknown to the field of art. This inquiry follows an atypical model of ar...

Anthropogenic disturbance of landscapes surrounding wetlands is considered a factor in local and global amphibian declines. Few data exist on the effects of agricultural cultivation of wetland watersheds on amphibians, and results from previous studies are contradictory. Our objective was to test the effects of general anthropogenic land use (cultivation vs. grassland) on the demographics of se...
