This dataset contains gill net data collected for the Upper Laguna Madre system in Texas from 1976 to 2008. Collected data also included spatial and temporal information describing the sample location and time, collection gear information, hydrological data (e.g. dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and salinity), weather conditions, species caught, and number of each species captured.

The book begins with a brief chapter on the usefulness of mobile technology generally, while Chapter 2 through Chapter 12 are organized around apps that perform a particular task or interact with a particular type of content. This categorization of apps includes apps librarians might use in the course of their professional work, as well as apps that librarians might recommend to patrons. The information about the apps is presented as reviews, though the author focuses almost exclusively on apps that she can recommend positively. The review format supports Hennig's purpose of providing apps that librarians can recommend to patrons, and she also intends the reviews to be helpful for librarians seeking to provide workshops on mobile devices and their uses. The outline for reviews that the author follows includes both descriptive and evaluative information, such as a technical description, usage examples, and the suggested audience for the app. This outline is explained in more detail in a checklist in Chapter 13, and includes further evaluative criteria such as accessibility features, customization options, and how the app takes advantage of the mobile platform.

Only males are treated, as females are highly modified and cannot be associated with their males based on morphology alone.

Trissolcus hyalinipennis Rajmohana & Narendran is an Old World egg parasitoid of Bagrada hilaris ... more Trissolcus hyalinipennis Rajmohana & Narendran is an Old World egg parasitoid of Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister). Its potential as a classical biological control agent in the United States has been under evaluation in quarantine facilities since 2014. A survey of resident egg parasitoids using fresh sentinel B. hilaris eggs in Riverside, California, revealed that T. hyalinipennis is present in the wild. Four cards with parasitized eggs were recovered, from which one yielded a single live T. hyalinipennis and two unidentified dead wasps (Scelionidae), and three yielded twenty live Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) and one dead wasp. Subsequently, samples from Burbank, California, collected with a Malaise trap as part of the BioSCAN project, yielded five females of T. hyalinipennis. It is presumed that the introduction of T. hyalinipennis to this area was accidental. Surveys will be continued to evaluate the establishment of T. hyalinipennis as well as the presence of other resident parasitoid species.

Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) calculated the relative abundance data, calculated as the catch of a particular species in a sample divided by the total number of animals captured in that sample. Absence data was recorded for species...

They include bag seines, trawls, gill nets and oyster dredges. TPWD uses multiple gears in a random sampling protocol, and they identify (to the lowest taxonomic unit possible) and count everything that they collect. This dataset contains bag seine data collected for the Corpus Christi bay system in Texas from 1977 to 2008.

The book begins with a brief chapter on the usefulness of mobile technology generally, while Chapter 2 through Chapter 12 are organized around apps that perform a particular task or interact with a particular type of content. This categorization of apps includes apps librarians might use in the course of their professional work, as well as apps that librarians might recommend to patrons. The information about the apps is presented as reviews, though the author focuses almost exclusively on apps that she can recommend positively. The review format supports Hennig's purpose of providing apps that librarians can recommend to patrons, and she also intends the reviews to be helpful for librarians seeking to provide workshops on mobile devices and their uses. The outline for reviews that the author follows includes both descriptive and evaluative information, such as a technical description, usage examples, and the suggested audience for the app. This outline is explained in more detail in a checklist in Chapter 13, and includes further evaluative criteria such as accessibility features, customization options, and how the app takes advantage of the mobile platform.

Only males are treated, as females are highly modified and cannot be associated with their males based on morphology alone.

Trissolcus hyalinipennis Rajmohana & Narendran is an Old World egg parasitoid of Bagrada hilaris ... more Trissolcus hyalinipennis Rajmohana & Narendran is an Old World egg parasitoid of Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister). Its potential as a classical biological control agent in the United States has been under evaluation in quarantine facilities since 2014. A survey of resident egg parasitoids using fresh sentinel B. hilaris eggs in Riverside, California, revealed that T. hyalinipennis is present in the wild. Four cards with parasitized eggs were recovered, from which one yielded a single live T. hyalinipennis and two unidentified dead wasps (Scelionidae), and three yielded twenty live Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) and one dead wasp. Subsequently, samples from Burbank, California, collected with a Malaise trap as part of the BioSCAN project, yielded five females of T. hyalinipennis. It is presumed that the introduction of T. hyalinipennis to this area was accidental. Surveys will be continued to evaluate the establishment of T. hyalinipennis as well as the presence of other resident parasitoid species.
