Oceanography: Biological...continued


Grazing by Canada Geese and Related Aspects of the Chemistry of Salt Marsh Grasses
Only available on loan from the National Sea Grant Library
Buchsbaum, R., I. Valiela, and J.M. Teal
Colonial Waterbirds, Vol. 4, pp. 126-131, 1981 WHOI-R-81-017
Birds have generally been overlooked in research involving the response of herbivores to naturally-occurring feeding stimulants and inhibitors on the assumption that they are poorly endowed with chemical senses. Research in the past 15 years, however, has shown that some groups of birds have quite well developed chemical senses and use these abilities to find food and locate nests. These reports point to a much more significant role for chemoreception in waterfowl than has generally been assumed in the past and raises the possibility that grazing waterfowl, like insects and mammals, are responsive to natural plant substances. With this in mind, the authors have investigated the role of secondary plant substances in the feeding behavior of geese.

Survey Design in Marine Environment: Three Examples
Only available on loan from the National Sea Grant Library
Smith, W.
In: Deemer, F.P., F.J. Verberg, and D.Z. Merkes (eds.), Advanced Concepts in Ocean Measurement for Marine Biology, pp. 505-520, 1980 WHOI-R-80-006
Three examples are used to illustrate the range of statistical design problems encountered in marine research. The first example uses nonlinear design methods to find the optimum survey pattern for accurately locating the positions of acoustic beacons used in precision navigation. In the second example, time series methods are used to evaluate environmental survey designs and to determine the number of times to repeat a survey over time. The third example shows that a variation of double sampling procedures can be implemented quickly in response to an oil spill, providing greater flexibility in evaluating the effect of the oil spill.

Measures of Diversity with Unbiased Estimates
Only available on loan from the National Sea Grant Library
Smith, W., J.F. Grassle, and D. Kravitz
1979 WHOI-R-79-016
The results of Smith and Grassle (1977) for the family of expected species diversity measures are reviewed. These results are applied to estimating variability in local diversity in the deep sea from small benthic cores. These results are extended to a wider class of diversity indices including a modification of Brillouin's index. Finally, unbiased estimation methods are applied to the estimation of species-area diversity.
