Nesting complex systems
… take in every day. This insertion is an act of nesting in the biological sense-making a nest from concocting foreign materials with existing materials-where the thing inserted becomes an anchor or an entry point from which a particular network of existing knowledge and relations are drawn out …

Wood Duck Use and Nesting Success in Artificial Nesting Structures in Eastern South Dakota
… 11 plastic single-walled (PSW), and 154 wooden nesting structures; in 1992, 382 of the boxes were PDW, 13 PSW, and 264 wooden. In both years an additional 10 nest boxes of fiberglass or metal were also monitored. Overall, 206 wood duck nesting attempts occurred, of which 142 were successful. Of …

Unsafe Nesting in BPF Programs
… view to the verifier to prevent uncontrolled nesting. We explored the first steps in this direction through a helper-rooted callgraph approach that provides a global view of BPF program interactions, enabling the prevention of these safety issues.

Nesting in the Clouds: Evaluating and Predicting Sea Turtle Nesting Beach Parameters from Lidar Data
… <p>Three studies focusing on sea turtle nesting beaches were completed to serve as an example of how topography can be a main deciding factor for certain species. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data were used to illustrate that fine spatial scale data can provide information not …

Experimental study of an avian cavity-nesting community: nest webs, nesting ecology, and interspecific interactions
Cavity-nesting communities are structured by the creation of and competition for cavities as nest-sites. Viewing these communities as interconnected webs can help identify species interactions that influence community structure. This study examines cavity-nesting bird community interactions within …

Nesting Chronology of South Dakota Ducks
… by back dating from brood age classes. Early nesting species were mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and pintails (A. acuta). Northern shovelers (A. clypeata), redheads (Aythya americana), and canvasbacks (A. valisineria) were intermediate nesters while blue-winged teal (Anas discors), gadwalls (A. …

Pheasant Nesting and Vegetation Development in Dense Nesting Cover Established Under the South Dakota Pheasant Restoration Program
Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) nest use of dense nesting cover (DNC) established under the Pheasant Restoration Program was evaluated in Beadle, Codington, Tripp, and Walworth Counties in South Dakota from 1978 to 1981. Nest densities and success in DNC plots were compared to those found in …

MALLARD NESTING ECOLOGY IN THE GREAT LAKES
Understanding how habitat features influence vital rates that drive population growth is fundamental for delivery of effective conservation programs. Past decisions in management of Great Lakes mallard (Anas platyrynchos) populations were based largely on paradigms established in the mid-continent …

Nesting Giant Canada Geese in Western South Dakota
… Canada geese (Branta Canadensis maxima) began nesting on 27 March 1976 and 2 April 1977. Peak hatch occurred from 15 to 21 May 1976 and 22 to 28 May 1977 and the nesting season lasted 69 days in 1976 and 83 days in 1977. Average clutch size was 4.8 eggs per nest in 1976 and 5.0 in 1977. …

Woodpecker Nesting Habitat in a Prairie River Woodland
<p>Differences in nest site selection of the common flicker (Colaptes auratus), yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius), downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), and red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) were studied on the Big Sioux River riparian forest of eastern South Dakota …

Nesting Automated Design Modules In An Interconnected Framework
… by developing a generalized formal method for nesting PDGs in an interconnected system. A procedure for decomposing an individual PDG into reusable modules will be defined and a software architecture will be presented which takes advantage of these reusable modules. This method breaks the PDG …

Response By Upland Nesting Birds to Three Rejuvenation Treatments Applied to Two Types of Seeded Nesting Cover in Eastern South Dakota
<p>Seeded nesting cover reaches peak growth 3-5 years after planting and characteristics, primarily height and density, attractive to many upland nesting birds deteriorate after the year of peak growth. I studied the effects of 3 rejuvenation treatments (haying, haying and scarifying, haying and …

A Method for Detecting Nesting Activity, Thermal Implications of Different Nesting Strategies, and Activity Patterns of Ornate Box Turtles (Terrapene Ornata)
… that uses automated radio telemetry to identify nesting activity, allowing me to non-disruptively collect eggs from a species in which nests are notoriously difficult to find, and to monitor the nesting activity of many more animals than would otherwise be possible. Nest searches revealed that …

A Turkey Nesting Study in Gregory County, South Dakota
… were monitored during the study. Average adult nesting rate was 42% (31% in 1984 and 54% in 1985). No juveniles nested either year. Nesting success in 1984 and 1985 was 80% and 0%, respectively. Data was collected from 8 woodland and 5 grassland nests. Nest initiation dates ranged from 20 April …
