Does constant effort netting estimate juvenile abundance?

Ringing & Migration, 1991
Numbers of juvenile Blackbirds, Song Thrushes, Blue Tits and Great Tits caught during constant effort mist‐netting were compared with numbers of nestlings of these species ringed during the years 1979–1990 in Treswell Wood, Nottinghamshire. There was a significant relationship between the numbers of juveniles captured and the numbers of nestlings ...

High summer macrophyte cover increases abundance, growth, and feeding of juvenile Atlantic salmon

Ecological Applications, 2021
AbstractAquatic habitats are severely threatened by human activities. For anadromous species, managing freshwater habitats to maximize production of more, larger juveniles could improve resilience to threats in marine habitats and enhance population viability. In some juvenile salmonid habitats, complexity created by large substrates provides resources

MORTALITY OF JUVENILE DAMSELFISH: IMPLICATIONS FOR ASSESSING PROCESSES THAT DETERMINE ABUNDANCE

Ecology, 1999
We examined the effects of variation in intra- and intercohort density on the magnitude and form of per capita juvenile mortality rates of three species of damselfish (Dascyllus spp.) at Moorea, French Polynesia. Patterns of mortality over a 2-wk period were estimated from daily counts of new settlers and of the next older age class (

Competition with stone crabs drives juvenile spiny lobster abundance and distribution

Oecologia, 2017
Interspecific competition is assumed to have a strong influence on the population dynamics of competing species, but is not easily demonstrated for mobile species in the wild. In the Florida Keys (USA), anecdotal observations have long pointed to an inverse relationship in abundance of two large decapod crustaceans found co-occurring in hard-bottom ...

Food abundance affects both morphology and behaviour of juvenile perch

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 2007
Abstract –  Behaviour and morphology were both shown to differ between 1+ perch from two lakes that in earlier studies showed differences in size‐specific predation risk. As the level of nourishment is known to affect behaviour and morphology, we fed perch of the two lakes in tanks for 40 days with two food levels, to study whether observed differences

Abundance and habitat use of juvenile sunfish among different macrophyte stands

Lake and Reservoir Management, 2010
Abstract Collingsworth, PD and Kohler, CC. 2010. Abundance and habitat use of juvenile sunfish among different macrophyte stands. Lake Reserv. Manage. 26:35-42. Juvenile Lepomis sunfish (< 75 mm total length, TL) density, plant stem density and invertebrate density were compared in the 3 most common habitats in the littoral zone of Cedar Lake, a ...

The Relationship between Selectivity and Food Abundance in a Juvenile Lizard

Ecology, 1981
Several theoretical models of foraging behavior predict relationships between the relative abundance of a food item and a forager's selectivity for that item. Prey switching models predict that selectivity for items will be positively related to their relative abundance.
