- Chironomidae of the Southeastern United States: A Checklist of Species and Notes on Biology, Distribution, and Habitat.
- Name/Creator
-
Hudson, Patrick L., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- Abstract/Description
-
This report is a listing of the species of midges (Diptera:Chironomidae) in the southeastern United States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee). It documents each species' distribution and general habitat and provides a taxonomic reference to facilitate the identification or description of species in that genus. Changes in nomenclature, unique ecological traits, bibliographic sources, or other items of information are summarized in a paragraph on each genus.

Drew, Richard D., Schomer, N. Scott., United States, National Coastal Ecosystems Team (U.S.), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- Abstract/Description
-
This report reviews and synthesizes the literature on the ecology of the Caloosahatchee River/Big Cypress watershed. The first part describes the geology, physiography, climate, and characteristics of ground and surface waters. The remainder of the report focuses on plant succession and communities, and with the watershed's fish and wildlife, their habitats and habitat preferences.

Packard, Jane M., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Florida Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
- Abstract/Description

This paper examines factors influencing several indices of abundance of manatees attracted to the warm water discharged from a power plant in Fort Myers, Florida, during January and February 1984. The purpose is to develop and evaluate indices of abundance suitable for detecting trends specifically in the Fort Myers region, and in general at other warm-water sites. Results of the first year of a two-year study are reported here, with recommendations for studies to be conducted in the second...

- Habitat Suitability Index Models: Downy Woodpecker.
- Name/Creator
-
Schroeder, Richard L., Western Energy and Land Use Team, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- Abstract/Description
-
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index model for the downy woodpecker. The model is scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) and 1 (optimum habitat). Habitat suitability indices are designed for use with the Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Literature about the impacts of navigational dredging on fish, other aquatic biota, and wildlife is reviewed. Also included are types of dredging equipment, characteristics of dredged material, evaluation of dredged material pollution potential, and habitat development and enhancement opportunities arising from dredged material disposal. The review contains a brief discussion of the state of knowledge and refers the reader to pertinent literature for additional information. The discussions about impacts and habitat development are divided into "Coastal Waters" (including disposal in estuarine, continental shelf, and deep ocean waters) and "Rivers". A limited dscussion of the "Great Lakes" is included as an appendix.

In addition to these species, the plan also identifies the management needs of other species that depend upon the same ecological communities, or habitats, as the federally-listed threatened or endangered species. These species include plants or animals that are listed as threatenedor endangered by the State of Florida, and species that are endemic to south Florida. These species are included in Volume II in the treatments that address the ecological communities of south Florida.

Marvin, Kenneth T., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- Abstract/Description
-
The goal of this investigation was to develop methods for prediction and control of red tide outbreaks. The program included the collection of chemical, meteorological, and hydrographic information at approximately monthly intervals at various river, coastal, and offshore stations. Presented are data collected between 1949 and 1952, which includes phosphorus data.

Graham, Herbert William, Amison, John M., Marvin, Kenneth T., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- Abstract/Description
-
This 1954 document reports the distribution of inorganic and total phosphorus in the waters along the west coast of Florida for a period of more than 16 months. Some upwelling to subsurface levels is evident but no hydrographic feature occurs which could account for the high values of phosphorus found during the "red tide" of 1946-1947. There is no evidence that either leaching from the bottom of the Gulf or outflow from local rivers contributes large quantities of phosphorus to the Gulf...

Some upwelling to subsurface levels is evident but no hydrographic feature occurs which could account for the high values of phosphorus found during the "red tide" of 1946-1947. There is no evidence that either leaching from the bottom of the Gulf or outflow from local rivers contributes large quantities of phosphorus to the Gulf waters. However, values of total phosphorus comparable to those of the red tide were found in blooms of Trichodesmium floating on the surface over water of very low phosphorus content.
