Factors Affecting Nitrogen Fixation Rates in Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae: <i>Reticulitermes</i>) and Termite Nitrogen Contributions of Forest Ecosystems
… nitrogenase activity, and the accuracy of mark-recapture studies to estimate termite population size.</p> <p>Termite nitrogen fixation rates were monitored monthly for 10 Reticulitermes Holmgren colonies from June, 1993, to December, 1995. Rates were highest in fall and spring and lowest in …

Weaving through the matrix: investigating the influence of urban land use on weaver bird movements into and out of Cape Town wetlands
… wetland sites were obtained through a long term mark - release - recapture project. Distance - based linear models revealed that site proximity was important as a predictor of weaver movement into and out of sites, while the site variables ( wetland size, bird abundance and weaver colony size) …

Population genetics and conservation of the endemic Mus cypriacus.
… found for M. cypriacus on Cyprus with all the markers tested (mitochondrial D-loop, microsatellites and SNPs). The level of genetic diversity of M. cypriacus was comparable to the one found in M. m. domesticus (e.g. average number of alleles per loci 2.8 for M. m. domesticus and 2.5 for M. …

Population ecology of Pleuroptya ruralis (Scopoli) (Pyralidae:Pyraustinae)
… results. Adults were studied in the field by the mark- release- recapture method. Potential female fertility was investigated in the laboratory. The population suffered a dramatic decline in numbers during the period of this study. The main factors determining the observed population levels were …

Aggregation, dispersal and edge behavior of the bark beetle predator Thanasimus dubius (Coleoptera: Cleridae); potential use in biological control
… and frontalin) in a study that combined a mark-release-recapture experiment with a field choice test. I also measured the responses of individual wild T. dubius in a wind tunnel, which allowed the testing of a wider range of semiochemicals (frontalin, ipsenol, ipsdienol, sulcatol, and …

Effects of Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii [Rupr.] Herder) Invasion and Removal on Native Vegetation and White-Footed Mice (Peromyscus leucopus) in Mixed-Hardwood Forests of Indiana
… number of white-footed mice was recorded using mark-release-recapture (MRR). Trapping was done for six nights in the summer of 2010 and four nights in the fall of 2010 (before exotic shrub removals), and again during the summer and fall of 2011 (after removals). For each 49-trap grid, we assumed …

The history, ecology, and reintroduction of the chequered skipper butterfly Carterocephalus palaemon in England
… in England. In 2018, 42 adult C. palaemon were released at Fineshade Wood using stock translocated from donor populations in Belgium. The Fineshade Wood population was sampled in 2019, 2020, and 2021 to estimate its size, determine the mobility and dispersal of individual butterflies, and …
