Consequences of Decreased Water Temperature Caused by Aerator-Induced Evaporation on Growth of Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Ponds
(2016-07-25)
Two studies were performed related to water temperature in aquaculture ponds. The first study evaluated the influence of aeration on evaporation and water temperature in ponds, and compared the effects of daytime and ...
Consequences of low-head dams on crayfish distribution and gene flow in Alabama stream
(2010-08-03)
Dams are numerous in many eastern US streams, and instream physicochemical and biotic impacts of dams can alter flow and sediment regimes and channel geomorphology as well as reducing longitudinal movement by fishes and ...
Consequences of Mutualisms Between Aphids and an Invasive Ant to Arthropod Communities and Their Host Plants
(2006-05-15)
Mutualisms between ants and honeydew-producing Hemipteran insects (e.g., aphids) are abundant and widespread in arthropod food webs, yet their ecological consequences are very poorly known. Previous work in several ...
Conservation Compliance and Public Awareness: Assessing Dolphin and Sea Turtle Interactions in Coastal Alabama
(2024-06-26)
The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) serve as critical legislation for safeguarding marine species in the United States, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico region. Despite legal ...
Conservation Design: Linking Development to the Land
(2011-11-30)
Alabama contains well over 500 abandoned mines across the northern part of the state and while some mining zones continue to degrade the landscape over time, others have been reclaimed naturally and left in an ambiguous ...
Conservation of a Florida Endemic Carnivorous Plant: Godfrey’s Butterwort (Pinguicula ionantha)
(2006-12-15)
For conservation and recovery efforts to be effective under the Endangered Species Act, knowledge of the factors which make a species rare must be gained. In order to meet conservation goals, this study focuses on the ...
Conservation System Impacts on Soil Properties and Water-Use Efficiency in the Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain
(2014-08-14)
