Considerations for developing wolf harvesting regulations in the contiguous United States
L. David Mech
2010, Journal of Wildlife Management (74) 1421-1424
As gray wolves (Canis lupus) are removed from the federal Endangered Species List, management reverts to the states. Eventually most states will probably allow public wolf harvesting. Open seasons between about 1 November and 1 March accord more with basic wolf biology than during other times. Managers who consider wolf...

Travis S. Schmidt, W.H. Clements, K.A. Mitchell, Stanley E. Church, Richard B. Wanty, David L. Fey, Philip L. Verplanck, Carma A. San Juan
2010, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (29) 2432-2442
Two toxic-unit models that estimate the toxicity of trace-metal mixtures to benthic communities were compared. The chronic criterion accumulation ratio (CCAR), a modification of biotic ligand model (BLM) outputs for use as a toxic-unit model, accounts for the modifying and competitive influences of major cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, H+),...
