Juvenile and subadult Gulf Sturgeon (Acipenser desotoi) use of the Pascagoula River estuary
… understanding how and when juvenile and subadult GS use the Pascagoula River estuary (PRE), a complex, bifurcated river delta federally designated as critical habitat is necessary to improve conservation efforts. My thesis assessed juvenile and subadult GS use of the PRE across four years …

Developing Subadult Sex Estimation Standards Using Adult Morphological Sex Traits and an Ontogenetic Approach
… Consistently low accuracy rates published in the subadult sex estimation literature causes these beliefs to persist even though observable differences in some sex traits exist as early as the prenatal period, while others have different developmental trajectories that result in increasingly …

Survival, family breakups, and dispersal of yearling and subadult black bears in western Virginia
… breakup, and dispersal patterns for yearling and subadult bears in hunted black bear (Ursus americanus) populations in North America are scarce. We estimated survival rates of yearling and subadult black bears from a hunted population in western Virginia during 1999 - 2002. We captured and marked …

Habitat utilization and movement patterns of subadult largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in the Ohio River
… embayments as preferred macrohabitat of subadult largemouth bass. Catch rates within macrohabitats were low ranging from 0.00--2.73 subadult bass/hour. Embayment electrofishing CPUE was higher than tributary or main channel except in spring, when tributary CPUE was highest.;Core use areas …

AN ASSESSMENT OF SUBADULT SKELETAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT BASED ON A MICHIGAN MEDICAL EXAMINER SAMPLE
<p>When there is a high rate of subadults going through the medical examiner’s office (MEO), it is important to determine if there is a common underlying reason. The role of the MEO is to conduct forensic investigations, but also to assist with public health surveillance. Because these roles go …

Sex-Based Differences in Mortality and Metabolic Disease in Subadult Skeletal Assemblages of Tell Hisban
Heterogeneity in morbidity and mortality risk results from various underlying host-level and societal factors. Identifying these risk factors in ancient communities is often hindered by the invisibility of some variables in the archaeological record and the methodological limitations of skeletal …

Subadult Cortical Bone Analysis As An Indicator of Childhood Health Status Among the Tipu Maya Population
… of many studies, few studies have focused on subadults and none on their cortical development, which can allow insight into access to necessary nutritional resources.</p> <p>Some 108 femora belonging to individuals aged birth to 13 years with femora previously sectioned at midshaft provided …

Nutritional Stress & Early Development in the Neolithic Near East: A Comparison of Adult and Subadult Tooth Size
… to evaluate size of the dentition of adults and subadults to evaluate potential changes in stress during the Neolithic in relation to diet. A comparison of adult and subadult teeth was performed between the populations of Çatalhöyük and Aşıklı Höyük, along with a comparison of mean tooth size …

Explorations into Appendicular Ontogeny using a Cross-Sectional, Contemporary U.S. Sample
Investigations into the subadult skeleton have been restricted by sample availability in biological anthropology. Alternatively, the same source of longitudinal data has been repeatedly used, which does not reflect the variability of growth and development (i.e., ontogeny) or the United States …

Study of Pelvic Growth and Development Through Examination of Interlandmark Distances and Geometric Morphometric Analyses: Implications for Subadult Skeletal Sex and Age Estimation
… unidentified skeletal remains. However, because subadult individuals are an underrepresented demographic in skeletal collections there is a lack of ontogenetic knowledge of the sub-elements (ilium, ischium, and pubis) and the overall pelvic complex. Subsequently, there is a concomitant lack of …

Investigations of delayed plumage maturation in the orchard oriole
… to the results of several previous studies, subadult plumage in the orchard oriole does not reduce intra-sexual aggression directed toward subadults during the breeding season. I attribute these different results to differences among species in the reliability of plumage cues of sex and age. …

Growing Up in Tell el-Amarna: An Examination of Growth and Non-specific Stress Indicators in New Kingdom Children.
<p>The health status of the subadult skeletal remains from the South Tombs Cemetery at Tell el-Amarna were assessed by examining fluctuations in childhood growth and rates of skeletal indicators of physiological stress within a biocultural framework. The long bone standardization method outlined by …

Food Selectivity of the Black Bullhead (Ictalurus melas, Rafinesque) in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota
The food habits of young-of-the-year, subadult and adult black bullheads were studied in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota, from March, 1970, to April, 1971. Two hundred twenty young-of-the-year (37-87 mm total length) fed primarily on limnetic cladocerans and copepods. Leptodora and Diaphanosoma …
