New concepts regarding the production of waterfowl and other game birds in areas of diversified agriculture
H.K. Nelson, Harold F. Duebbert
1974, Book chapter
Many concepts regarding breeding ecology of waterfowl and the influences of environmental factors on annual production have changed in the past 20 years. These influences are especially pronounced in the prairie region of central North America where agriculture becomes more intensive each year. The principal task assigned to this Research...
Relationships between chemical structure and rat repellency. II. Compounds screened between 1950 and 1960
W.A. Bowles, V. A. Adomaitis, J.B. DeWitt, J.J. Pratt Jr.
1974, Report
Over 4,600 compounds, chiefly organic types, were evaluated using both a food acceptance test (Part A) and a barrier penetration bioassay (Part B), to correlate relationships between chemical structure and rodent repellency.These chemicals are indexed and classified according to the functional groups present and to the degree of substitution within...
An elutriation apparatus for macroinvertebrates
Joseph M. Worswick Jr., Michael T. Barbour
1974, Limnology and Oceanography (19) 538-540
An inexpensive hydropneumatic apparatus screens macroinvertebrates from bottom samples containing silt, mud, or clay. The elutriator, an acrylic cylinder with screened windows, cemented on an upright plastic funnel, retains benthic fauna while the sediment is washed away. The apparatus yields clean samples and has reduced the time required to sort...

Effect of acclimation temperature and heat shock on vulnerability of fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) to predation
Thomas G. Yocom, Thomas A. Edsall
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1503-1506
Fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) acclimated to 10, 15, and 18 C were exposed to temperatures of 24.5, 25, and 28 C for 1 min and then immediately returned to water at their acclimation temperature, in test tanks containing yearling yellow perch (Perca flavescens). The number of attacks on the fry and...

Homing to nest baskets by wild female mallards
Harold A. Doty, F.B. Lee
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 714-719
A high rate of homing to nest baskets by adult female mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) was observed in prairie potholes of North Dakota. One hundred and thirteen female mallards were caught on nest baskets, banded, and marked with nasal saddles. Forty-six percent homed at least once to nest baskets in the...

Habitat management considerations for prairie chickens
L.M. Kirsch
1974, Wildlife Society Bulletin (2) 124-129
Lack of nesting and brood rearing habitat appears to be the universal limiting factor for prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) throughout their range. Grasslands are essential to prairie chickens, but vary widely in quality and thus in their ability to support prairie chickens. High-quality habitat is grassland providing residual vegetation...
Residues of DDT in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from the Great Lakes
Robert E. Reinert, Harold L. Bergman
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 191-199
Concentrations of DDT residues were higher in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from southern Lake Michigan in 1966–70 (average 18.1 ppm in fish 558–684 mm long) than in lake trout of the same size-class from Lake Superior in 1968–69 (4.4 ppm), and higher in adult coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from Lake Michigan in 1968–71...

Short-term fate of dietary dieldrin in the digestive tract of juvenile lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush)
Donald J. Stewart, Roy A. Stein
1974, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (11) 563-566
Short-term fate of dietary dieldrin in the digestive tract of fishes is poorly known. Studies of the uptake, distribution, and elimination of chlorinated hydrocarbons have suggested that uptake or degradation is rapid in the intestine (GROSS 1969; MACEK et al. 1970; GRZENDA et al. 1970, 1971). The present study was...
Nematode parasites of waterfowl (Anseriformes) from western United States
M.E. McDonald
1974, Wildlife Disease 19-19
Thirty-four species of nematodes were found in 415 Anseriformes (Anatidae) of 27 species; 93.7% of birds over 4 weeks old were infected. Data on prevalence, host specificity, age of host, and geographic distribution are given. Infections were more intense in sick birds and birds in poor physical condition. Accidental or...
Immature insects (Plecoptera, Trichoptera, and Ephemeroptera) collected from deep water in western Lake Superior
James H. Selgeby
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 109-111
Five species of aquatic insects - two plecopterans, two trichopterans, and one ephemeropteran - usually found in streams or ponds were collected in water 32-100 m deep in western Lake Superior. All appear to be new records for the lake and all were collected from far greater depths than previously...
Dieldrin and DDT: accumulation from water and food by lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in the laboratory
Robert E. Reinert, Linda J. Stone, Harold L. Bergman
1974, Proceedings of the Conference on Great Lakes Research (17) 52-58
In the laboratory we measured the amounts of dieldrin and p,p'DDT accumulated by fish from contaminated water and food to determine how fish from Lake Michigan accumulate high concentrations of these insecticides from an environment where the concentrations in water are generally less than 0.01 ppb. Eight groups of yearling...

Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol residues in fish
J. L. Allen, J.B. Sills
1974, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (57) 387-388
A procedure for the determination of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in fish tissues is described. Homogenized tissues are extracted with hexane-ethyl ether; the extract is cleaned up by partitioning the TFM from the extracting solvent into 0.1N NaOH, acidifying the aqueous solution, and partitioning again with hexaneethyl ether. The TFM is methylated with...
Social behavior of breeding gadwalls in North Dakota
T.J. Dwyer
1974, The Auk (91) 375-386
Responses of duck pairs encountering other ducks were categorized by McKinney (1965a) as displays, attack, escape and avoidance, sexual pursuit, and sociability. Gadwalls (Anas strepera) show all these responses on the breeding grounds, and characteristic behavior patterns occur depending on the reproductive state of the birds involved. The responses of...
Feeding ecology of pintail hens during reproduction
Gary L. Krapu
1974, The Auk (91) 278-290
Food supply has been acknowledged as one of eight major external factors regulating the sexual cycles of birds (Marshall 1961). Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the role of food supply as an ultimate factor regulating breeding (Marshall 1951; Lack 1954, 1968; Wynne-Edwards 1962; and others). Another potential influence...
The regolith at the Apollo 15 site and its stratigraphic implications
M. H. Carr, C.E. Meyer
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 1183-1197
Regolith samples from the Apollo 15 landing site are described in terms of two major fractions, a homogeneous glass fraction and a non-homogeneous glass fraction. The proportions of different components in the homogeneous glass fraction were determined directly by chemical analyses of individual...
Preliminary petrographic description and geologic implications of the Apollo 17 Station 7 boulder consortium samples
E. C. T. Chao, J.A. Minkin, C.L. Thompson
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (23) 413-428
Preliminary petrographic description and mineral composition of four hand samples (77135, 77115, 77075 and 77215) are presented. 77135, 77115, and 77075 all crystallized from fragment-laden melts; they are similar in textures but differ in grain size. 77135 and 77115 are pigeonite feldspathic...
Erosion by catastrophic floods on Mars and Earth
V.R. Baker, D.J. Milton
1974, Icarus (23) 27-41
The large Martian channels, especially Kasei, Ares, Tiu, Simud, and Mangala Valles, show morphologic features strikingly similar to those of the Channeled Scabland of eastern Washington, produced by the catastrophic breakout floods of Pleistocene Lake Missoula. Features in the overall pattern include the...
