    Notes: Coastal cetaceans are subject to potential injury or disturbance from vessels. In Sarasota, Florida, where about 120 resident bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, share the inshore waters with over 34,000 registered boats, disturbance potential is high. We assessed specific behavioral responses of individual dolphins to boat traffic. We conducted focal animal behavioral observations during opportunistic and experimental boat approaches involving 33 well-known identifiable individual bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins had longer interbreath intervals (IBI) during boat approaches compared to control periods (no boats within 100 m). Treatment IBI length was inversely correlated with distance to the nearest boat in opportunistic observations. During 58 experimental approaches to 18 individuals, a video system suspended from a tethered airship was used to observe subsurface responses of focal dolphins as boats under our control, operating at specified speeds, were directed near dolphins. Dolphins decreased interanimal distance, changed heading, and increased swimming speed significantly more often in response to an approaching vessel than during control periods. Probability of change for both interanimal distance and heading increased when dolphins were approached while in shallow water. Our findings provide additional support for the need to consider disturbance in management plans for cetacean conservation.

    Flightless birds When did the dodo become extinct? (2003)
    [s.l.] : Nature Publishing Group
    Nature 426 (2003), S. 245-245 
    Details
    ISSN: 1476-4687

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine , Natural Sciences in General , Physics
    Notes: [Auszug] The extinction of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus L.; Fig. 1) is commonly dated to the last confirmed sighting in 1662, reported by Volkert Evertsz on an islet off Mauritius. By this time, the dodo had become extremely rare — the previous sighting having been 24 years earlier — ...

    Identifying regional seismic relationships by cross-correlation (1995)
    Springer
    Pure and applied geophysics 144 (1995), S. 301-306 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9136
    Keywords: Cross-correlogram ; hypothesis test ; serial independence
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Physics
    Notes: Abstract The identification of relationships between seismicity in different regions is commonly based on establishing the statistical significance of the largest absolute value in the cross-correlogram between time series of seismicity. The assessment of significance typically ignores the selection of the largest absolute value in the cross-correlogram and consequently exaggerates significance. In this note, a simple method for correcting the significance level for selection is presented. The method is valid as long as the two series are each serially independent. An example concerning seismicity in Mexico and Kamchatka is presented. In this case, correcting for selection has a dramatic effect.

    Testing for density dependence (1990)
    Springer
    Oecologia 83 (1990), S. 47-49

    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: Density dependence ; Random walk ; Autoregressive process

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The robustness and sensitivity of a test for density dependence in an animal population against departures from the assumed null and alternative model is assessed via simulation. The test is shown to be nonrobust and insensitive to departures from the assumed models.

    On the detection of greenhouse warming (1989)
    Springer
    Climatic change 15 (1989), S. 449-453 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1480
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Physics
    Notes: Abstract Two facts that have been cited as evidence of the onset of greenhouse warming are the extent to which the most recent value in a global temperature series is unusually warm and the observation that the four warmest years on record occurred in the 1980's. We examine these results in more detail, and we address the question as to whether these facts constitute evidence in favor of the detection of greenhouse warming. We conclude that they do not support detection unless we are prepared to attribute all warming in the data to the greenhouse effect.

    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1416
    Keywords: Sighting data ; Non-stationary Poisson process ; Black-footed ferret
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract This note describes a test for extinction in a declining population based on a record of sightings. The test assumes that, prior to extinction, the sightings follow a Poisson process with decreasing rate function. An application to a sighting record of the black-footed ferret is presented.
