Ecology of spring-migrating waterfowl within the lower Wabash River floodplain
… critical for many waterfowl species. The lower Wabash River floodplain, in southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana, has been anecdotally suggested to contain suitable habitat for large concentrations of migratory waterfowl, but currently lacks robust estimates of waterfowl use. Therefore, …

FACTORS DETERMINING HABITAT SELECTION BY SPRING MIGRATING WATERFOWL ALONG THE WABASH RIVER, ILLINOIS
… study plots. Models containing precipitation and Wabash River flood stage predictor variables were the best performing, and were the best predictors of waterfowl abundance on study plots. The results from this chapter encouraged investigation into how environmental factors shape the formation of …

FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF DUCKS DURING SPRING MIGRATION IN THE WABASH RIVER REGION, ILLINOIS
… open water, and forested wetlands in the Wabash River Floodplain in eastern Illinois. I randomly selected one plot within each block to supplement with 2000 kg/ha of corn (Zea mays), creating an area of very high duck food abundance next to a control area with no added food. I conducted …

Seismic parameters for the central United States based on paleoliquefaction evidence in the Wabash Valley
… suggest prehistoric earthquake magnitudes in the Wabash Valley far exceed historical events. This geotechnical engineering study of paleoliquefaction sites in southern Indiana and along the Wabash River in Illinois has provided an opportunity to estimate magnitudes and attenuation characteristics …

Stopover duration and habitat use of spring-migrating dabbling ducks in the Wabash River Valley, USA
… continuing north to the breeding grounds. The Wabash River Valley (WRV) in southeastern Illinois provides habitat for over 500,000 dabbling ducks each spring. Despite the heavy use of this region, information regarding stopover duration and habitat use of waterfowl is lacking. Stopover …

Sequence Development on a Sediment-Starved, Low Accommodation Epeiric Carbonate Ramp: Silurian Wabash Platform, USA Mid-continent During Icehouse to Greenhouse Transition
… Silurian (444 to 416 m..y.) succession of the Wabash Platform, Indiana was done to establish the high resolution sequence stratigraphy of a sediment-starved low-latitude epeiric sea platform during the transition from Ordovician icehouse to Devonian greenhouse. The Wabash Platform …

Flow structure of an asymmetric large river confluence
… and bed topography at the confluence of the Wabash River and Embarras River along the Illinois-Indiana border reveal a complex hydrodynamic environment that responds dynamically to changes in momentum flux ratio of the incoming flows and to the effects of secondary circulation cells. The …

Development and application of quantitative methods for ecosystem services
… drivers of an observed change in fish regime the Wabash River that occurred around the 1990's. The results indicated that changing agricultural practices combined with increasing precipitation may have influenced the observed fish regime change. This link between agricultural management decisions …
