Summary

Description

Spring 1984 survey of several islands along the Alaska Peninsula as the FWS charter vessel established fox eradication camps in the Shumagin and Aleutian islands. There were two purposes for this survey: 1 Complete our wildlife inventory of the Alaska Peninsula Unit and 2 Monitor manmade disturbances on selected islands. Although remotely located, these islands have experienced disturbances from introduced foxes, ground squirrels, voles and cattle. This survey was conducted secondarily to our fox work and thus did not coincide with arrival of seabirds to their colonies. However, more reliable data were collected on raptors and mammals.

Summary

Description

Underwater Site 10P was established off Rose Atoll, American Samoa by Dr. James Maragos, U.S. Fish Wildlife Service, on July 31, 1999. The site was originally called Site D and later renamed Site 10P. With a start point meter 0 at latitude 14 33.075S longitude 168 09.622W, a series of metal stakes were pounded into the substrate to delineate a 50meter line that could be relocated and reassessed on future surveys. A fiberglass tape was unrolled along the line marked by the stakes and a series of photographs was taken of the benthos in consecutive 1metersquare 1m x 1m quadrats, using a Nikon RS camera with 35mm colorpositive slide film in an underwater housing mounted atop a 1metersquare 1m x 1m quadrat. The colorpositive slides were later scanned 600dpi using the Epson V750 scanner and software. The overall goal was to acquire data from the photographs and analyze and present quantitative data in a manner to be useful for scientists and refuge management. Each image is labeled with a 3letter location code ROS, date 31July99, site number 10P, and meter interval along the transect line e.g., 56M. The software program SigmaScan Pro 5.0 was used to analyze each image. Analysis was completed by a single observer, Alison Veit. For each photoquadrat, the anthozoan colonies were identified scleractinian genera Montipora, Acropora, Favia, Favites, Montastrea, Goniastrea, and the maximum diameter cm of each colony determined. The center of each colony had to fall within the photoquadrat frame in order to be counted for a photoquadrat. If the colony extended beyond one photoquadrat, one diameter was determined and counted in the photoquadrat in which the center of the colony was found. After all the anthozoan colonies in the photoquadrat had been measured, the data were binned into 7 size classes 15 cm, 610 cm, 1120 cm, 2140 cm, 4180 cm, 81160 cm, 160 cm. A visual estimate of percent coral cover in each quadrat was also recorded.

Summary

Description

This report summarizes a study done on Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to determine which habitats moose prefer to calve in. The majority of observations of female moose,Alces alces with recentlyborn calves have been in open, bogmeadow, black spruce, Picea mariana, habitats on the Kenai National Moose Range, but many moose probably calve in other areas where they are more difficult to observe. Frequent aerial surveys over the MooseChickaloon River Area during the calving period from 1957 to 1970 revealed maximum numbers of observed cows in the calving area in 1964, or 17 years after a major wildfire burned through the area. Numbers of observed cows declined after several years of antlerless seasons and several severe winters but increased again after antlerless seasons were suspended and winters moderated. Numbers of observed calves paralleled numbers of observed cows. Maximum twinning rates declined from a high of 46 percent in 1962 to 7 percent in 1966 but increased to 48 percent in 1969. Twinning rates appeared related to forage conditions, mild winters and moose density. General observations and observed numbers of calves suggest two birth peaks may have occurred in the 1960s, one in early June and another in early July. Population estimates suggest generally less than 20 percent of the refuges moose population calve in the MooseChickaloon River Area.
