The nomenclatural enigma of single versus double -i endings for scientific patronyms emended to represent a man's name: A comment and some considerations
M.R. Jennings
1982, Fisheries (7) 9-10
The current inconsistency over the use of single vs. double -i endings for singular masculine scientific patronyms in official lists of scientific names of fishes causes needless confusion and labor. Taxonomists once preferred rules for Latinization calling for double -i endings, but current rules suggest single -i endings. Recent rulings by the International Commission of Zoological...

Evaluation of the river die-away biodegradation test
Glenn D. Wylie, John R. Jones, B. Thomas Johnson
1982, Journal of the Water Pollution Control Federation (54) 1231-1236
The reliability of the river die-away (RDA) test for establishing the biodegradability of chemicals was assessed. Reproducibility of biodegradation in the RDA test was analyzed under conditions in which the test is commonly done. Biodegradation results were not reproducible for di-2-ethylexyl phthalate (DEHP) and phthalic acid in replicated RDA tests...

A population model of the lizard Uta stansburiana, in southern Nevada
Frederick B. Turner, Phil A. Medica, K. W. Bridges, R. I. Jennrich
1982, Ecological Monographs (52) 243-259
Population densities, reproduction, and survival of the lizard Uta stansburiana were measured at the Nevada Test Site in southern Nevada, USA, between 1964 and 1974. These data were used to develop a model of the population dynamics of this species. Results of irrigation experiments in 0.4—ha enclosures near Mercury, Nevada,...

K. B. Davis, N. C. Parker, M. A. Suttle
1982, Progressive Fish-Culturist (44) 205-207
Plasma chloride and corticosteroid concentrations were measured in yearling striped bass (Morone saxatilis) exposed to 25 mg/L tricaine methanesulfonate, 2.5 mg/L quinaldine, or 0.1 mg/L etomidate (an experimental drug), alone and in combination with 10 g/L salt (NaCl). Plasma chloride levels were unaffected in all treatments during a 15‐min exposure...

Chlamydiosis in 2 biologists investigating disease occurrences in wild waterfowl
Gary Wobeser, Christopher J. Brand
1982, Wildlife Society Bulletin (10) 170-172
Chlamydiosis (ornithosis, psittacosis) is an infectious disease of birds that can be transmitted to humans. Human infections are probably acquired by inhalation of aerosols containing elementary bodies of the causative agent Chlamydia psittaci, from bird droppings, or from tissues. Infected birds do not have to be ill to transmit the...

In April 1980, a Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) was found on the ground in Lakewood, Colorado, unable to fly and in convulsion. The bird died shortly thereafter. The hawk was packed in dry ice and shipped air express to the Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Department of the Interior,...
Survival, growth, and catchability of rainbow trout of four strains
J.L. Brauhn, H. Kincaid
1982, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (2) 1-10
Fingerling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) of genetically different strains survived, grew, and were caught at different rates by anglers and in gill nets after release from a hatchery into a 1‐hectare pond. When two domestic strains were compared, more fish of the strain genetically selected for fast growth were caught...

Two emaciated common loons (Gavia immer) were believed to have died of lead poisoning when fragments of fishing lines and lead sinkers were discovered in their stomachs. Later a third emaciated loon, which had only the remnants of fishing line in its stomach, was suspected of being a possible lead-poisoning...
