Biology of larval and metamorphosing sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, of the 1960 year class in the Big Garlic River, Michigan, Part II, 1966-72
Patrick J. Manion, Bernard R. Smith
1978, Technical Report 30
The 1960 year class of sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, isolated in a tributary of southern Lake Superior continued to yield information on the early life history of the sea lamprey. The larval population persisted and newly metamorphosed individuals were captured from 1966 until the study was terminated in 1972. The...

Coccidia of whooping cranes
Donald J. Forrester, J. W. Carpenter, D.R. Blankinship
1978, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (14) 24-27
Coccidial oocysts were observed in 6 of 19 fecal samples from free-ranging whooping cranes (Grus americana) and 4 of 16 samples from captive whooping cranes. Eimeria gruis occurred in four free-ranging whooping cranes and E. reichenowi in two free-ranging and two captive whooping cranes. Fecal samples from two captive cranes contained oocysts of lsospora lacazei which...

Studies on vertical and horizontal transmission of duck plague virus in apparently healthy waterfowl
Elizabeth C. Burgess
1978, Thesis
Healthy waterfowl were found to be carriers of duck plague (DP) virus. Black ducks (Anas rubripes) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) surviving a natural outbreak of DP at Coloma, Wisconsin, in 1973 yielded DP virus in cloacal swabs taken four years postinfection. Experimental infection of previously unexposed mallard ducks (Anas...
Dislocation substructure of mantle-derived olivine as revealed by selective chemical etching and transmission electron microscopy
S. H. Kirby, M.W. Wegner
1978, Physics and Chemistry of Minerals (3) 309-330
Cleaved and mechanically polished surfaces of olivine from peridotite xenoliths from San Carlos, Arizona, were chemically etched using the techniques of Wegner and Christie (1974). Dislocation etch pits are produced on all surface orientations and they tend to be preferentially aligned along the traces of subgrain boundaries, which are approximately...
Use of Landsat data to assess waterfowl habitat quality
J.E. Colwell, D.S. Gilmer, E.A. Work Jr., D. Rebel
1978, Report
This report is a discussion of the feasibility of using Landsat data to generate information of value for effective management of migratory waterfowl. Effective management of waterfowl includes regulating waterfowl populations through hunting regulations and habitat management. This report examines the ability to analyze annual production by monitoring the number...

This map and accompanying table show Hydrologic Unites that are basically hydrographic in nature. The Cataloging Unites shown supplant the Cataloging Units previously depicted n the 1974 State Hydrologic Unit Map. The boundaries as shown have been adapted from the 1974 State Hydrologic Unit Map, "The Catalog of Information on...
Reproduction of chaparral shrubs after fire: A comparison of sprouting and seeding strategies
Jon E. Keeley, Paul H. Zedler
1978, American Midland Naturalist (99) 142-161
The relative ability of sprouting and nonsprouting chaparral shrubs to recover from fire was studied by examining population of congeneric pairs of species in burned and adjacent unburned areas. The pairs of species selected, with the nonsprouting species named first, were Arctostaphylos...
Waterfowl nesting on small man-made islands in prairie wetlands
R.F. Johnson Jr., R.O. Woodward, L.M. Kirsch
1978, Wildlife Society Bulletin (6) 240-243
Small islands constructed in prairie wetlands were attractive nesting sites for mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis). Nest densities of mallards on islands averaged 135 per ha compared to 0.03 per ha on adjacent upland habitats. Construction time averaged 2 hours per island and cost $50. No maintenance...
Nifurpirinol (Furanace: P-7138) related lesions on channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque)
A.J. Mitchell, J.M. Grizzle, J.A. Plumb
1978, Journal of Fish Diseases (1) 115-121
Skin lesions developed on channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, exposed to 0-5 mg/1 Furanace for 4 or 14 days. Lesions developed 3 days after the 4-day exposure and on the eleventh day of the 14-day exposure. The lesions continued to develop after the fish were moved to untreated water. The lesions which...
Net energy maintenance requirements of salmonids as measured by direct calorimetry: Effect of body size and environmental temperature
R. R. Smith, G. L. Rumsey, M. L. Scott
1978, Journal of Nutrition (108) 1017-1024
Most studies of metabolic rates and energy requirements in aquatic animals have been conducted using indirect methods wherein heat production estimates were based on O2 consumed and CO2 produced. The purpose of the present study was to determine the feasibility of direct calorimetry as a method for measuring heat production of fish...
Feeding habitat use by colonially-breeding herons, egrets, and ibises in North Carolina
Thomas W. Custer, Ronald G. Osborn
1978, The Auk (95) 733-743
Nine species of herons, egrets, and ibises were followed by airplane from a nesting colony near Beaufort, North Carolina to their feeding sites. Except for Cattle Egrets, which flew exclusively to fields and dumps, the birds flew mainly to saltmarsh habitat. The selection of feeding habitats by Great Egrets and...

Seasonal trends in summer diet of the lapland longspur near Barrow Alaska USA
T. W. Custer, F.A. Pitelka
1978, The Condor (80) 295-301
Contents of lapland longspur [Calcarius lapponicus] stomachs and esophagi were sampled near Barrow, Alaska [USA], from May-Aug. in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1973. Data from stomach contents were corrected for differential digestion of prey items. Longspurs shifted seasonally from larval to adult arthropods and back to larvae, responding to changes...
Wetland classification in the United States
L.M. Cowardin
1978, Journal of Forestry (76) 666-668
Wetland is part of a continuum of land types between deep water and dryland. Only one wetland classification was available for the United States prior to preparation of the new system described here, but numerous regional and special-purpose classifications are in use. The new classification is hierarchical, progressing from five...
Myxosoma cerebralis: Detection of circulating antibodies in infected rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
B.R. Griffin, E.M. Davis
1978, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (35) 1186-1190
Circulating antibody against spores of Myxosoma cerebralis has been detected for the first time in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) affected with whirling disease. An indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was employed for detection of trout immunoglobulin. Most sera of fish from an infected experimental group were found to give a positive reaction...
