Abstract:

Abstract The proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and local topography makes central Texas particularly prone to heavy precipitation and deadly flood events. Specifically, the Balcones Escarpment, located in central Texas, creates extremely favorable hydrologic characteristics for damaging floods. Urban centers such as San Antonio and Austin, Texas, are located along this terrain feature and have suffered at times, even with mitigation strategies, catastrophic flood damage. While the hydrologic effects of the Balcones Escarpment are well known, the meteorological impacts are uncertain. The purpose

Abstract:

Species delimitation attempts to match species-level taxonomy with actual evolutionary lineages. Such taxonomic conclusions are typically, but not always, based on patterns of congruence across multiple data sources and methods of analyses. Here, we use this pluralistic approach to species delimitation to help resolve uncertainty in species boundaries of phrynosomatid sand lizards of the genus Holbrookia. Specifically, the Spot-tailed Earless Lizard (H. lacerata) was historically divided into a northern (H. l. lacerata) and southern (H. l. subcaudalis) subspecies based on differences in morpho

Abstract:

Abstract Heavy rainfall and flooding associated with Tropical Storm Hermine occurred on 7–8 September 2010 across central Texas, resulting in several flood-related fatalities and extensive property damage. The largest rainfall totals were received near Austin, Texas, and immediately north, with 24-h accumulations at several locations reaching a 500-yr recurrence interval. Among the most heavily impacted drainage basins was the Bull Creek watershed (58 km2) in Austin, where peak flows exceeded 500 m3 s−1. Storm cells were trained over the small watershed for approximately 6 h because of the com

Abstract:

Aims: We used physiological data, in conjunction with habitat information, to elucidate the interactions between two hybridizing songbirds within a hybrid zone. Background: Hybrid zones are ideal regions to examine a variety of ecological, behavior, and evolutionary processes. In addition to genetics, behavior, and morphology, physiological differences may impact hybrid fitness, genetic introgression, and even the stability of a hybrid zone. Objective: To assess physiological differences in hybridizing species, we investigated selected venous blood analytes in two species of songbirds hybridiz

Abstract:

Reptiles and amphibians were surveyed on the Balcones Escarpment in central Texas as the area was transformed into suburbia. Of four habitats, oak-juniper savanna was totally destroyed and a quarter of the adjacent oak-juniper woodland was eliminated, but two creeks and most deciduous riparian forest remained. Extirpation of 12 of 30 species (40%) included 55% of nine amphibian species, 50% of two turtles, 33% of six lizards, and 30% of 13 snakes. Herpetofaunal richness declined exponentially from 1965 to 1990 with increased house building, then stabilized through 2005 as building slowed and s

Abstract This study compiles a nationwide database of flood fatalities for the contiguous United States from 1959 to 2005. Assembled data include the location of fatalities, age and gender of victims, activity and/or setting of fatalities, and the type of flood events responsible for each fatality report. Because of uncertainties in the number of flood deaths in Louisiana from Hurricane Katrina, these data are not included in the study. Analysis of these data reveals that a majority of fatalities are caused by flash floods. People between the ages of 10 and 29 and &gt;60 yr of age are foun

Abstract:

Abstract The northern pygmy mouse, Baiomys taylori, occurs throughout the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and southern Altiplano of central Mexico and extends northward in 3 projections into northern Mexico and the United States. We used mitochondrial DNA (from the cytochrome-b and NADH dehydrogenase 2 genes) and morphological data to assess diversity within B. taylori across its geographic range in relation to recognized subspecies and putative physiographic filter-barriers. Our results indicate 5 distinct mitochondrial clades despite little morphological variation across the species’ geographic

Abstract:

<p>Despite a recent increase in intermittent river research focusing on the mechanisms driving flow intermittence and the role they play in the biological community, first order controls, such as the geology, land cover, and climate of the watershed, are not well understood. The rise of intermittent river research coincides with them becoming increasingly more prevalent on Earth due to climate change and water abstraction. While these problems are observed more clearly in arid regions, little research is focused in areas with greater rainfall amounts, such as in central Texas, where there are
