Download or read book The Platte written by and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arising in two separate streams high in the Rockies and flowing east across the plains to meet the Missouri near Omaha, Nebraska, the Platte River is a microcosm of the geologic, plant, animal, and human worlds. Way station for the sandhill cranes, home of the Plains Indians, and artery for the great westward migrations of the nineteenth century, the Platte Valley offers a rich diversity of life and history. Focusing on the central role the Platte has played in shaping Nebraska and its heritage, both human and natural, Paul A. Johnsgard presents in this book a ?brief and personal portrait of the river as it has existed in the past and still exists today.? ø ?My special hope in doing so,? he writes, ?is that the value of the river as a living, complex, and natural ecologic system can be more fully appreciated, and that whatever steps may be necessary might be taken to preserve the river?s integrity.? ø Johnsgard tells the story of the Platte from prehistoric times to the present and then assesses its future. A selection of photographs and checklists of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, fishes, and common plants of the Platte River and its valley enhance the book?s interest and usefulness. This Bison Books edition includes a new preface and afterword by the author.

Book excerpt: Under a National Park Service (NPS)/Wildlife Conservation Society Cooperative Agreement, we inventoried amphibians and reptiles at the William Floyd Estate (WFE), in Mastic, New York from April to September 2002. Six standardized sampling methods were used; anuran calling surveys, egg mass counts, visual encounter surveys, coverboards, turtle trapping surveys, and minnow trapping surveys. We also recorded animals encountered outside of standardized surveys as incidental encounters, including some after 2002.

Book An Amphibian and Reptile Inventory of Isle Royale National Park

Download or read book An Amphibian and Reptile Inventory of Isle Royale National Park written by National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inventory was conducted to build upon prior park species lists (Adams 1909; Johnsson et al. 1982; Casper 2002, 2004) and improve inventory data for amphibians and reptiles. The study area consisted of Isle Royale National Park (Figure 1), which is a collection of over 400 islands (one large island surrounded by many smaller islands), covering approximately 54,228 ha (134,000 acres) in western Lake Superior (approximately 89 degrees west longitude and 48 degrees north latitude).

Book Amphibians and Reptiles of the West Indies

Download or read book Amphibians and Reptiles of the West Indies written by Albert Schwartz and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 1991 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This meticulous book summarizes all available information on West Indian herpetofauna. Using data from more than 6,000 pages of field notes and 1,000 literature sources, Schwartz and Henderson present a detailed account of every known reptile and amphibian species existing on the numerous islands of the West Indies. For each (almost 600), they offer a complete synopsis, including description, holotype, source of illustrations, and range map. A section on natural history summarizes what is known about the habitat, microhabitat, economic bearing, food habits, and reproduction of each animal, and in some cases it shows how these traits change from island to island. In opening remarks, the authors plead eloquently for awareness of the rampant environmental degradation taking place on the islands. For every herpetologist, biologist, ecologist, or biogeographer with an interest in the Antillean biota, Amphibians and Reptiles will become the source from which all future research proceeds.

Book Amphibian and Reptile Species Survey and Habitat Assessment

Download or read book Amphibian and Reptile Species Survey and Habitat Assessment written by Natalie A. Fath and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amphibians and reptiles are valuable bio-indicators of ecosystem health. The dual life of amphibians, living a part of their lives on both land and water, exposes them to environmental stressors present in both habitat types. Reptiles, as predators of a wide range of organisms, are exposed to a variety of biological contaminants which have been found to accumulate in their systems. Both groups of organisms were studied at the Oxford Community Park (OCP), in Oxford Ohio. Habitat suitability was examined through GIS analysis of habitat cover types present at the park as well as field work to examine forest composition, stream quality, and presence of wetlands. Additionally, water quality was monitored at six locations in the park. Species surveys were conducted using funnel traps; cover boards, and spending many man-hours on-site looking across the park for specimens. Four streams were identified on-site as well as one remnant farm pond and 38-acres of second growth forested habitat. Five species of amphibians were recorded along with two species of reptiles. These results suggest many of the species found in Butler County are absent from the OCP. Reasons for this could include, but are not limited to, habitat fragmentation or the agricultural history of the property and surrounding land uses. The Oxford Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has expressed a desire to develop educational outreach materials and programming involving amphibians and reptiles in Oxford and the surrounding area. As a result, fact sheets for many amphibians and reptiles of Ohio were created for use by the OPRD at their discretion. Additionally, programs were created to be used during the spring break adventure camp and summer camp programs, an interpretive trail guide was created, and the annual Earthfest in uptown Oxford was utilized as a resource for information distribution.
