M.D. Samuel, Diana R. Goldberg, D.J. Shadduck, J.I. Price, E.G. Cooch
1997, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (33) 332-335
Pharyngeal swabs were collected from 298 lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) at Banks Island (Northwest Territories. Canada) in the summer of 1994. Pasteurella multocida serotype 1 was isolated from an adult male bird and P. multocida serotype 3 was isolated from an adult female goose. Pathogenicity of the serotype...
Isolation and characterization of novel waterfowl microsatellite loci: Cross-species comparisons and research applications
R.L. Fields, Kim T. Scribner
1997, Molecular Ecology (6) 199-202
Waterfowl constitute an ecologically diverse group which are the subject of extensive research (e.g. see reviews in Batt et al. 1992), and are intensively managed (Nichols et al.1995). Genetic studies utilizing allozyme electrophoresis and mitochondrial (mt)DNA have provided valuable information on waterfowl ecology and evolutionary history (Cooke & Buckley 1987)....

A summary of population genetics data is presented for the walrus (Odobenus rosmarus). Current information on the ecology and behavior of the species is highlighted to aid in the interpretation of genetics results and to suggest future areas of research. Walruses are discontinuously distributed across the Arctic and are currently...
Aerial videography for estimating goose populations staging in Izembek Lagoon, Alaska
R.M. Anthony, R.A. Stehn, W.H. Anderson
1997, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 16th biennial workshop on color photography and videography in resource assessment
We conducted experimental photographic surveys of black brant and Canada geese in a pre-migration staging area on the Alaska Peninsula to compare precision and efficiency of this technique to currently employed ocular estimates. Video and digital cameras sensitive to near infrared and visible radiation were tested at various altitudes and...
In situ relations of target strength to fish size for Great Lakes pelagic planktivores
Guy W. Fleischer, Ray L. Argyle, Gary L. Curtis
1997, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (126) 786-794
We found mean target strength to be a reliable in situ predictor of fish weight, which allows direct estimation of the pelagic planktivore fish biomass from target strength measurements. Fish were collected by midwater trawling concurrent with target strength measurements (120-kHz frequency) in Lake Michigan. The mean weight of fish...

Clonal expansion and seedling recruitment of Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa) in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests: Comparisons with salal (Gaultheria shallon)
David W. Huffman, John C. Tappeiner II
1997, Canadian Journal of Forest Research (27) 1788-1793
Seedling regeneration and morphology of Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa Pursh) and salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh) were studied in thinned and unthinned Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stands in the central Coast Range, Oregon. Above- and below-ground growth of both species were significantly and negatively correlated with stand density. Oregon grape...

This report embodies recommendations on zeolite nomenclature approved by the International Mineralogical Association, Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names. In a working definition of a zeolite mineral used for this review, structures containing an interrupted framework of tetrahedra are accepted where other zeolitic properties prevail, and complete substitution by...
U-Pb age of zircon crystals from the upper banner tonstein (Middle Pennsylvanian), Virginia: Absolute age of the Lower Pennsylvanian-Middle Pennsylvanian boundary and depositional rates for the Middle Pennsylvanian, central appalachian basin

1997, Prace - Panstwowego Instytutu Geologicznego (157) 154-166
The Upper Banner tonstein, a kaolinized volcanic ash bed that occurs about 90 m above the base of the Middle Pennsylvanian Series in Virginia, is the oldest known Middle Pennsylvanian tonstein in the Appalachian basin. On the basis of palynostratigraphy, the Upper Banner coal bed correlates approximately with the Langsettian-Duckmantian...
On the origin of diverse aftershock mechanisms following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
Debi Kilb, M. Ellis, J. Gomberg, S. Davis
1997, Geophysical Journal International (128) 557-570
We test the hypothesis that the origin at the diverse suite of aftershock mechanisms Following the 1989 M 7.1 Loma Prieta, California, earthquake is related to the post-main-shock static stress field We use a 3-D boundary-element algorithm to calculate static stresses combined with a Coulomb failure criterion to calculate conjugate failure...
Distribution of organochlorine contaminants in double-crested cormorant eggs and sibling embryos
T. W. Custer, Christine M. Custer, K. L. Stromborg
1997, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (16) 1646-1649
Double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) fresh eggs and sibling embryos at pipping were collected from a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated colony in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Egg contents were analyzed for organochlorine (OC) contaminants, including 15 arylhydrocarbon-active PCB congeners. In order to determine the significance of tissue removal on the subsequent estimate...

Numbers and distribution of double-crested cormorants on the upper Mississippi River
E.M. Kirsch
1997, Colonial Waterbirds (20) 177-184
Historic records indicate that Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) were common breeders and abundant during migration on the Upper Mississippi River from St. Paul, Minnesota, to St. Louis, Missouri, during the 1940s and 1950s. Their numbers declined in the mid-to late-1950s, remained low through the 1970s, and began to increase somewhat...
External morphology of spermatozoa and spermatozeugmata of the freshwater mussel Truncilla truncata (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionidae)
D. L. Waller, B. A. Lasee
1997, American Midland Naturalist (138) 220-223
Truncilla truncata males release spherical aggregates of spermatozoa, called spermatozeugmata, at spawning. Sperm aggregates from other bivalve species have been described, but few detailed studies exist of the morphology of unionid spermatozeugmata and spermatozoa. We provide the first description of the external morphology of spermatozeugmata and spermatozoa of T. Truncata....

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District did field-scale tests in August-September 1996 to determine mixing patterns associated with different configurations of coarse-bubble air diffusers. The tests were done in an approximately 13-meter deep quarry near Chicago, Ill. Three-dimensional velocity, water-temperature, dissolved...
Modeling changes in growth and diet on polychlorinated biphenyl bioaccumulation in Coregonus hoyi
L.A. Eby, C.A. Stow, R.J. Hesselberg, J.F. Kitchell
1997, Ecological Applications (7) 981-990
Restrictions on the release of PCBs into the environment began in the early 1970s, resulting in reduced PCB concentrations in Lake Michigan bloaters (Coregonus hoyi). However, since 1980, PCB concentrations in bloater have declined only slightly. The bloater population also increased 40-fold during 1970 through 1984, resulting in a diet...

1997, Folia Parasitologica (44) 1-6
Specimens of the recently established European round goby (Negobius melanostomus Pallas, 1811) and tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus Pallas, 1811) were collected from different locations in the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair, USA and were examined for parasites. Parasites were observed in 76% of the round gobies and...
An empirical comparison of stock identification techniques applied to striped bass
John R. Waldman, R. Anne Richards, W. Bane Schill, Isaac Wirgin, Mary C. Fabrizio
1997, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (126) 369-385
Managers of migratory striped bass stocks that mix along the Atlantic coast of the USA require periodic estimates of the relative contributions of the individual stocks to coastal mixed- stock fisheries; however, to date, a standard approach has not been adopted. We compared the performances of alternative stock identification...
