|
| For solitary cryptic species such as the dik-dik and klipspringer, I collected individual fecal samples from dung-middens in known territories along the sampling transects. |
|
| An additional comparison of cover between 1999 and 2007 on seven selected transects showed an increasing patchiness in structure of the bed. |
|
| One fruit was cut transversely to form five pairs of flat equatorial transects and these were rinsed briefly with water to remove cell-content residues from the cut surfaces. |
|
| The transects cross a variety of habitats, many of which are suitable for brown or collared lemmings. |
|
| For example, imagine that you have enough money for 50 transects and that you have divided your study area into three strata. |
|
| Using a subsample of 15 transects, the author found no difference in pair numbers compared to 1980 but fewer non-breeders. |
|
| I will be collecting data on local quail distribution and conducting vegetation transects to identify microhabitat variation. |
|
| The Pacific Population of white-fronts is aerially surveyed using transects on the breeding grounds in the Yukon Delta of Alaska. |
|
| Standing herbage mass in the pastures was estimated by measuring the forage height with a rising-plate meter in 25 places along evenly spaced, predetermined paced transects. |
|
| Visual fish transects performed at two sites were used to assess the seasonal frequency of sexual dichromatism in adults. |
|
| For the short-term transects, the average web site residence time for each transect site was calculated. |
|
| Butterflies were sampled at 80 observation stations along 8 km of transects in unlogged and logged forest. |
|
| It will also support ecological monitoring activities, including fenced exclosures and vegetation transects, on the largest intact unit of Garry oak habitat in British Columbia. |
|
| We used multiple linear regression to estimate the coefficients of the linear equation that best predicted the frequency of chimpanzee and gorilla nest sites along transects. |
|
| During the ECHO I expedition 'Deep Tow' made 11 photographic transects and collected about 5 500 photographs of the ocean floor which were analysed in this present study. |
|
| Importantly, they were also trained in how to create and cut line transects, and conduct censuses along these, collecting data on the presence of all fauna and anthropogenic disturbance. |
|
| Second, during transects we also regularly encountered desert iguanas which occasionally scavenge carrion. |
|
| Techniques for estimating population density include point counts, transects and territory mapping. |
|
|
|
| Many different kinds of measurements were made as part of WOCE, but the central field program around which they were organized was a series of hydrographic transects by ship that traversed the major ocean basins. |
|
| While we are conducting impromptu vegetation transects where we spot the quail, local ranchers driving by stop to ask us what we are doing thrashing around in the bushes with a tape measure and a GPS unit. |
|
| I will spend the following day conducting vegetation transects to quantify habitat differences and begin roadside surveys of the places where Gambel's and elegant quail mix. |
|
| Gorilla nests on transects showed a preference only for mixed species forest with an open canopy, but direct observations and traces on reconnaissance surveys clearly indicated that gorillas use several habitat types. |
|
| The mineralization was observed to be contained within a NW-trending shear zone that transects an ophitic gabbro intrusion along the southeast wall of the pit. |
