Element content of Xanthoparmelia scabrosa growing on asphalt in urban and rural New Zealand
J. P. Bennett, D.M. Wright
2004, Bryologist (107) 421-428
Xanthoparmelia scabrosa is a foliose lichen that grows abundantly on pedestrian and automobile asphalt in New Zealand, which are considered inhospitable habitats for lichens. Samples were collected at eight localities ranging from urban streets to very rural roads and analyzed for 28 chemical elements in order to determine elemental chemistry...

Status of lake trout rehabilitation on Six Fathom Bank and Yankee Reef in Lake Huron
Charles P. Madenjian, Timothy J. Desorcie, Jerry R. McClain, Aaron P. Woldt, Jeffrey D. Holuszko, Charles A. Bowen II
2004, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (24) 1003-1016
Six Fathom Bank, an offshore reef in the central region of Lake Huron's main basin, was stocked annually with hatchery-reared lake trout Salvelinus namaycush during 1985–1998, and nearby Yankee Reef was stocked with hatchery-reared lake trout in 1992, 1997, and annually during 1999–2001. We conducted gill-net surveys during spring and fall to...
Overwinter survival of juvenile lake herring in relation to body size, physiological condition, energy stores, and food ration
Kevin L. Pangle, Trent M. Sutton, Ronald E. Kinnunen, Michael H. Hoff
2004, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (133) 1235-1246
Populations of lake herring Coregonus artedi in Lake Superior have exhibited high recruitment variability over the past three decades. To improve our understanding of the mechanisms which influence year-class strength, we conducted a 225-d laboratory experiment to evaluate the effects of body size, physiological condition, energy stores, and food ration on the...
Genetic variability among lake whitefish from Isle Royale and the Upper Great Lakes
Wendylee Stott, Thomas N. Todd, Larry Kallemeyn
2004, Annales Zoologici Fennici (41) 51-59
The coregonine fishes from Isle Royale National Park represent a unique group that has escaped the successional changes observed elsewhere in North America. Analysis of microsatellite DNA loci revealed significant genetic differences among samples of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) from Isle Royale, Lake Superior, and Lake Huron. The amount of...

2004, Aquaculture (238) 135-142
The efficacy of hydrogen peroxide to control mortality associated with saprolegniasis in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) eggs was evaluated at the Lost Valley State Fish Hatchery (Warsaw, MO). Two efficacy trials were conducted. In Trial 1, channel catfish eggs in their natural gelatinous matrix were treated with hydrogen peroxide at...
Development and validation of a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry procedure for confirmation of para-toluenesulfonamide in edible fish fillet tissue

2004, Journal of AOAC International (87) 1098-1108
Chloramine-T is a disinfectant being developed as a treatment for bacterial gill disease in cultured fish. As part of the drug approval process, a method is required for the confirmation of chloramine-T residues in edible fish tissue. The marker residue that will be used to determine the depletion of chloramine-T...
Trace elements in moose (Alces alces) found dead in Northwestern Minnesota, USA
T. W. Custer, E. Cox, B. Gray
2004, Science of the Total Environment (330) 81-87
The moose (Alces alces) population in bog and forest areas of Northwestern Minnesota has declined for more than 25 years, and more recently the decline is throughout Northwestern Minnesota. Both deficiencies and elevations in trace elements have been linked to the health of moose worldwide. The objective of this study...
Aqueous photolysis of niclosamide
P.W. Graebing, J.S. Chib, T.D. Hubert, W.H. Gingerich
2004, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (52) 870-878
The photodegradation of [14C]niclosamide was studied in sterile, pH 5, 7, and 9 buffered aqueous solutions under artificial sunlight at 25.0 ± 1.0 °C. Photolysis in pH 5 buffer is 4.3 times faster than in pH 9 buffer and 1.5 times faster than in pH 7 buffer. In the dark...
Occurrence of Ergasilus megaceros Wilson, 1916, in the sea lamprey and other fishes from North America
Patrick M. Muzzall, Patrick L. Hudson
2004, Journal of Parasitology (90) 184-185
Ergasilus megaceros (Copepoda: Ergasilidae) was recovered from the nasal fossae (lamellae) of the olfactory sac in 1 (1.8%) of 56 sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus Linne, 1758, collected in May 2002 from the Cheboygan River, Michigan. Although the sea lamprey is a new host record for E. megaceros, this fish species may not be a...
Avian nest success in midwestern forests fragmented by agriculture
Melinda G. Knutson, Gerald J. Niemi, Wesley E. Newton, M. A. Friberg
2004, Condor (106) 116-130
We studied how forest-bird nest success varied by landscape context from 1996 to 1998 in an agricultural region of southeastern Minnesota, southwestern Wisconsin, and northeastern Iowa. Nest success was 48% for all nests, 82% for cavity-nesting species, and 42% for cup-nesting species. Mayfield-adjusted nest success for five common species ranged...
Use of hydrogen peroxide during incubation of landlocked fall Chinook salmon eggs in vertical-flow incubators
M. E. Barnes, M.P. Gaikowski
2004, North American Journal of Aquaculture (66) 29-34
Six different hydrogen peroxide treatment regimes were evaluated in a series of three trials with landlocked fall Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha eggs incubated in vertical-flow incubators. Six daily 15-min hydrogen peroxide treatment regimes (1,000 mg/L; 1,000 mg/L with a decrease to 500 mg/L during estimated blastopore formation; 2,000 mg/L; 2,000...
Relationships between bald eagle productivity and dynamics of fish populations and fisheries in the Wisconsin waters of Lake Superior, 1983-1999
Michael H. Hoff, Michael W. Meyer, Julie Van Stappen, Thomas W. Fratt
2004, Journal of Great Lakes Research (30) 434-442
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) abundance declined in the 1950s and 1960s along the Wisconsin waters of Lake Superior, and were nearly absent along Wisconsin's Lake Superior shoreline. The population began to increase again between 1980 and 1983, and since then bald eagles nesting on islands along Wisconsin's Lake Superior shoreline...
Discrimination among spawning aggregations of lake herring from Lake Superior using whole-body morphometric characters
Michael H. Hoff
2004, Journal of Great Lakes Research (30) 385-394
The lake herring (Coregonus artedi) was one of the most commercially and ecologically valuable Lake Superior fishes, but declined in the second half of the 20th century as the result of overharvest of putatively discrete stocks. No tools were previously available that described lake herring stock structure and accurately classified...

Simulating the effects of ground-water withdrawals on streamflow in a precipitation-runoff model
Philip J. Zarriello, P. M. Barlow, P.B. Duda
2004, Conference Paper, Bridging the Gap: Meeting the World's Water and Environmental Resources Challenges - Proceedings of the World Water and Environmental Resources Congress 2001
Precipitation-runoff models are used to assess the effects of water use and management alternatives on streamflow. Often, ground-water withdrawals are a major water-use component that affect streamflow, but the ability of surface-water models to simulate ground-water withdrawals is limited. As part of a Hydrologic Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) precipitation-runoff model developed...
Habitat selection by two species of burrowing mayfly nymphs in the Les Cheneaux Islands region of northern Lake Huron
Marc A. Blouin, Patrick Hudson, Margret Chriscinske
2004, Journal of Freshwater Ecology (19) 507-514
This study focused primarily on the habitat preferences of Hexagenia limbata andEphemera simulans, two species prevalent in northern Lake Huron, to gain a better understanding of the key components that determined their distribution and abundance. Both species preferred habitats based upon depth and sediment type. In addition, the burrowing activity of H. limbata was...
A Holocene history of dune-mediated landscape change along the southeastern shore of Lake Superior
Walter L. Loope, Timothy G. Fisher, Harry M. Jol, John B. Anderton, William L. Blewett
2004, Geomorphology (61) 303-322
Causal links that connect Holocene high stands of Lake Superior with dune building, stream damming and diversion and reservoir impoundment and infilling are inferred from a multidisciplinary investigation of a small watershed along the SE shore of Lake Superior. Radiocarbon ages of wood fragments from in-place stumps and soil O...
