June 2008 | Publisher: Other Federal Agency (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)) | Format: URL
www.climatescience.gov — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a report that can help reduce the potential impact of climate change on estuaries, forests, wetlands, coral reefs, and other sensitive ecosystems. The report identifies strategies to protect the environment as these changes occur. The report finds that climate change can increase the impact of More...

www.lsc.usgs.gov — This database is the result of a national analysis of land cover pattern. A series of derived maps (different indices, different window sizes) is available. They are proposed for consideration by landscape analysts, as independent variables (e.g., covariates, stratification rules), and as "context" information for finer-scale investigations, for More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERC, Honolulu) | Format: URL
biology.usgs.gov — Depredation of eggs, nestlings and adult birds by introduced predators has been widely postulated as a leading cause of the accelerated decline and extirpation of endemic Hawaiian avian species and a major factor limiting present populations of endangered birds. In Hawaii, four species of introduced rodents, the black rat (Rattus rattus). The More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Fort Collins Science Center (FORT, Ft. Collins) | Format: URL
www.fort.usgs.gov — This study investigates how these regional climate changes would influence the survival and reproduction of migratory birds. The research addresses specific questions that include (1) How will climate change alter the spacing and quality of critical wetland stopover habitats? (2) What are the long-term demographic consequences of climate change on More...

www.umt.edu — This website links to graphs which show how bird species and their nesting habitats and communities have been effected by climate variation. The website also links to other research projects, publications and lab members. Climate change may impact communities in a variety of ways. Most attention has focused on earlier breeding in warmer years. More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — The Pacific iguanas of the Fijian and Tongan archipelagos are a biogeographic enigma in that their closest relatives are found only in the New World, separated by 8,000 km of ocean. The Pacific iguanas have been dramatically affected by human activities; two species were eaten to extinction after human arrival in the Pacific some 2,800 years ago. More...
