Abstract:
Population densities, using distance sampling, and habitat associations of the range-restricted Rock Firefinch Lagonosticta sanguinodorsalis were investigated between late May and early July 2002 in a protected site at Amurum on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria, and in unprotected surrounding habitats. Rock Firefinches were strongly associated with inselbergs and rocky outcrops and avoided scrub and abandoned farmland. Density was not significantly higher on the Amurum protected site (0.79 birds/ha; 95% CL 0.51–1.21) than on the unprotected areas (0.55 birds/ha; 95% CL 0.37–0.82). Rock Firefinches wer

Abstract:
Studies of niche overlap within communities of lizards have shown that separation may be along the three major dimensions of space, time and food. Space is usually the most important dimension where a range of habitats are involved; there is less information on the importance of microhabitat separation within a single habitat type. This study investigated microhabitat relationships of small diurnal lizard species occupying granitic rock habitat in Zimbabwe. There was statistically significant niche separation among all species in both the type of rock occupied (size, shape, number of cracks, c

Coastal defences are proliferating in response to anticipated climate change and there is increasing need for ecologically sensitive design in their construction. Typically, these structures support lower biodiversity than natural rocky shores. Although several studies have tested habitat enhancement interventions that incorporate novel water-retaining features into coastal defences, there remains a need for additional long-term, fully replicated trials to identify alternative cost-effective designs.

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Roost selection by insectivorous bats in temperate regions is presumably influenced by roost microclimates in relation to thermoregulatory strategies, but few studies have included temperature measurements in habitat selection models. Rocky landscape features are an important source of roosts that provide both shelter from predators and beneficial microclimates for bats. Most information about rock-roosting bats has been derived from western North America. We studied microhabitat selection by the Eastern Small-footed Myotis (Myotis leibii) on

This involved building a 3D geomechanical model incorporating structural complexity and rock heterogeneity, followed by adopting a one-way coupling scheme to assess outcomes of three proposed development plans. For the scenario named "REF Case", the maximum predicted subsidence at the end of depleti

Abstract:
Abstract Diagenetic nodular anhydrite observed in fluvio-aeolian-lacustrine and glacial sandstones has significant implications to reservoir quality. This type of nodular cement is spatially and volumetrically variable within these reservoirs. Its presence impacts subsurface formation evaluation and porosity calculations. Thus, the investigation of these nodules was carried out using: core image analysis; thin sections petrography; micro computed tomography (MicroCT) scans; bulk rock X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); sulfur &amp; strontium isotope analyses. Where core was unavailable, geochemical data

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintains breakwaters in Milwaukee Harbor. USACE’s Engineering With Nature® (EWN®) breakwater demonstration project created rocky aquatic habitat with cobbles (10–20 cm) covering boulders (6–8 metric tons) along a 152 m section. A prolific population of Hemimysis anomala, an introduced Pontocaspian mysid and important food source for local pelagic fishes, was significantly (p &lt; .05) more abundant on cobbles versus boulders. Food-habits data of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) provided evidence that H. anomala were a com

Abstract:
Diamond mining via open pit mining has been ongoing within the Tlicho region of the Northwest Territories for several decades, which includes the habitat range of the Bathurst Caribou Herd. This has led to the importance of quantitative characterization of the Zone Of Influence (ZOI), where resource development activities may be influencing the natural behaviour of the caribou herd in the tundra environment. As part of better defining and understanding the ZOI in this region, an initiative to evaluate the potential of detecting and mapping mine waste rock dust in the surrounding environment is

Abstract:
Camera trapping is increasingly used to collect information on wildlife occurrence and behaviour remotely. This provides insights into habitat use by species of interest and gathers information on non-target species. We implemented ground-based camera trapping to investigate behaviours of ground-dwelling birds and to monitor activities of Agassiz’s desert tortoises at their self-constructed burrows in a wind-energy facility near Palm Springs, California. While doing so, we collected data on numerous burrow commensals, including birds. Monitoring from late spring to midautumn showed regular use

Abstract:
Fifteen years ago, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) implemented an Elk and Vegetation Management Plan (EVMP) in response to increasing negative impacts of winter elk herbivory on key plant communities. The EVMP is intended to guide the management of elk and vegetation over a 20-year period, reduce the impacts of elk on vegetation, and bring target ecosystems into the natural range of variability for elk and vegetation in aspen, montane riparian willow, and upland herbaceous habitats. Monitoring plots were established at the outset and vegetation data is collected, analyzed, and results are

Cabrillo National Monument (CABR) is a unit of the National Park System located on the Point Loma peninsula in San Diego, CA, USA. Despite its small size (0.65 terrestrial km2), the monument attracts 851,000 annual visitors (IRMA SRSS Reports 2011-2020), and acts as an “urban island”, providing habitat for unique algal, plant and animal species in an area of increasing development and urbanization. The coastal area of the park also leads to the rocky intertidal zone, which is regarded by many as the best conserved shorelines in mainland southern California. Due to the high-quality habitat and
