1977, Wildlife Leaflet 512
A list of materials necessary to build and use a 53-m-long cable-chain drag is presented. Techniques are described for searching, finding, and marking nests in a typical area of grassland.During nine nesting seasons, 7,894 nests representing 32 species were found by searching fields with cable-chain drags. Only 2% of the...

Square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode: Theory
J. H. Christie, J.A. Turner, R. A. Osteryoung
1977, Analytical Chemistry (49) 1899-1903
The theoretical aspects of square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode are presented. The technique involves scanning the entire potential range of interest on a single drop of a DME. Asymmetries in the waveform as well as variations in current measurement parameters are discussed. Indications are that previous uses...
History of the Pasamonte achondrite: Relative susceptibility of the SmNd, RbSr, and UPb systems to metamorphic events
D.M. Unruh, N. Nakamura, M. Tatsumoto
1977, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (37) 1-12
The RbSr, SmNd, and UPb systematics of the eucrite Pasamonte have been studied in order to investigate the relative susceptibility of the different systems to post-crystallization events and to...
Moon-Mercury: Large impact structures, isostasy and average crustal viscosity
G. G. Schaber, J. M. Boyce, N.J. Trask
1977, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (15) 189-201
Thirty-five craters and basins larger than 200 km in diameter are recognized on the imaged portion (45%) of Mercury. If the unimaged portion of the planet is similarly cratered, a total of 78 such impact features may be present. Sixty-two craters and basins 200 km in diameter are recognized on...
Fluoride content of clay minerals and argillaceous earth materials
Josephus Thomas Jr., H.D. Glass, W.A. White, R.M. Trandel
1977, Clays and Clay Minerals (25) 278-284
A reliable method, utilizing a fluoride ion-selective electrode, is described for the determination of fluoride in clays and shales. Interference by aluminum and iron is minimal. The reproducibility of the method is about ±5% at different levels of fluoride concentration.Data are presented for various clay minerals and for the <2-µm...

Differences in swimming performance among strains of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
A.E. Thomas, M.J. Donahoo
1977, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (34) 304-307
Swimming performance profiles, relating fish size to swimming time, were established for three strains of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). No differences were found in slope of regressions; only in level at each size of fish. Swimming performances of New Zealand and Sand Creek strains did not differ, but were superior...
The display flight of The North American Ruddy Duck

1977, The Auk (94) 140-142
Sexual behavior of the North American Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis), as summarized by Johnsgard (1965: 323-327), includes a display variously referred to as the ringing rush (Johnsgard 1965: 325; 1967), ring rush (Johnsgard 1966), and/or display flight (Johnsgard 1966, 1967), which males perform as a short rush across the water...
Control of whirling disease (Myxosoma cerebralis): Use of methylene blue staining as a possible indicator of effect of heat on spores
G. L. Hoffman, M.E. Markiw
1977, Journal of Fish Biology (10) 181-183
Methylene blue staining (0.08 %) was used to determine efficiency of heat treatment in killing spores of Myxosoma cerebralis. Nearly all spores heated at 90°C for 10 min and 70°C for 100 min became stained giving presumptive evidence that they were killed....
Effect on tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) on hematocrit values in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
G. L. Reinitz, J. Rix
1977, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part C: Comparative Pharmacology (56) 115-116
1. Anesthesia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) with 70 ppm tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) for 3-9 min resulted in a linear increase in hematocrit.2. Handling of unanesthetized trout caused a higher and more variable hematocrit reading than did exposure to MS-222 for up to 3 min.3. The range and standard error...

Salmonella enteritidis and Arizona hinshawii isolated from wild sandhill cranes
R. M. Windingstad, D.O. Trainer, R. M. Duncan
1977, Avian Diseases (21) 704-707
Salmonella enteritidis serotype Rubislaw and Arizona hinshawii were isolated from cloacal swabs of "healthy" live-trapped sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) in Indiana and Wisconsin. These respective isolations were the first reported from wild sandhill cranes....
Energy allocation patterns of a sprouting and nonsprouting species of Arctostaphylos in the California chaparral
Jon E. Keeley, Sterling C. Keeley
1977, American Midland Naturalist (98) 1-10
The r- and K-selection theory was used to generate testable hypotheses about patterns of energy allocation in two chaparral shrubs of different reproductive strategies. Terminal-branchlet vegetative and reproductive biomass of the nonsprouting Arctostaphylos glauca and the sprouting A. glandulosa were sampled in a 23-year-old and a 90-year-old stand of chaparral...

The Guatemala earthquake and Caribbean Plate tectonics
George Plafker
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 18-20
The main fault along which the destructive Guatemala earthquake occurred was the Motagua fault. Ground breakage was observed in a continuous, well-defined line for 230 km. At its closest point, the fault is 25 km north of Guatemala City. Surface displacement across the fault was dominantly horizontal and sinistral (see...
