Activity budget derived from time-depth recorders in a diving mammal
Article Abstract:
A method to convert continuously collected time-depth data from archival time-depth recorders (TDRs) into activity budgets for a benthic-foraging marine mammals is discussed. Results concluded that TDRs provide data useful for measuring activity time budgets and behavior patterns in a diving mammal over long and continuous time periods.

Hair snares for noninvasive samplings of felids in North America: do gray fox affect success?
Article Abstract:
A study to assess the distribution and abundance of felids using standard hair-snaring protocols was conducted. A preponderance of gray fox hair at sampling station was found and review suggested a pattern of failure to detect target felids in hair-snare surveys within the range of the gray fox.

Estimation of detection probability in manatee aerial surveys at a winter aggregation site
Article Abstract:
The probability that Florida manatees will be detected by observers during aerial surveys is evaluated. Results concluded that adjusting counts based on detection probability will greatly improve reliability of population estimates from all aerial surveys.
