Processes of wetland loss in India
A. Lee Foote, Sanjeeva Pandey, N. Krogman
1996, Environmental Conservation (23) 45-54
Wetlands in India supply crucial human and animal needs such as drinking water, protein production, fodder, water purification, wildlife habitat, and flood storage. Increased appreciation of uses and threats is essential to protect wetlands where justified. Three quarters of India's population is rural, it places great demands on India's wetlands...
A land manager's guide to point counts of birds in the Southeast
P.B. Hamel, W.P. Smith, D.J. Twedt, J.R. Woehr, E. Morris, R.B. Hamilton, R.J. Cooper
1996, General Technical Report SO-120.
Current widespread concern for the status of neotropical migratory birds has sparked interest in techniques for inventorying and monitoring populations of these and other birds in southeastern forest habitats. The present guide gives detailed instructions for conducting point counts of birds. It further presents a detailed methodology for the design...
Silver Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
R. Eisler
1996, Contaminant Hazard Reviews Report 32 ; Biological Report 32
Ecological and toxicological aspects of silver (Ag) in the environment are briefly summarized with an emphasis on natural resources. Elevated silver concentrations in biota occur in the vicinities of sewage outfalls, electroplating plants, mine waste sites, and silver-iodide seeded areas; in the United States, the photography industry is the major...
Planar PCB Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
R. Eisler, A. A. Belisle
1996, Contaminant Hazard Reviews 31
Ecological and toxicological aspects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the environment are reviewed with emphasis on biologically active congeners and fish and wildlife. Subtopics include sources and uses, chemical and biochemical properties, concentrations in field collections, lethal and sublethal effects, and recommendations for the protection of sensitive resources. All production...
Environmental Contaminants in Wildlife: Interpreting Tissue Concentrations
1996, Report
Covers the complex issue of how to evaluate contaminants in wildlife. This comprehensive resource deals with the question: 'How much of a chemical in the tissues of an animal is harmful?' Features: Authoritative and sound advice is provided on many environmental contaminants, including what the contaminants...

Toxicity of fire retardant chemicals and fire suppressant foams to vertebrate and invertebrate wildlife species
Nimish B. Vyas, Elwood F. Hill
1996, Book chapter, Proceedings: International Wildland Fire Foam Symposium and Workshop
Under laboratory conditions, acute single-dose oral toxicity tests (LD50) were conducted with three fire retardant chemicals (Fire-Trol GTS-R, Phos-Chek D75-F, and Fire-Trol LCG-R) and two fire suppressant foams (Silv-Ex and Phos-Chek WD-881) to determine effects on adult northern bobwhite, American kestrel, red-winged blackbird, and white-footed mouse. In addition, earthworms were...

The relevance of the Mediterranean Region to colonial waterbird conservation
R.M. Erwin
Alain J. Crivelli, Heinz Hafner, Mauro Fasola, R. Michael Erwin, Donald A.= McCrimmon Jr., editor(s)
1996, Book chapter, Ecology, Conservation, and Management of Colonial Waterbirds in the Mediterranean Region
The Mediterranean Sea is the largest partially enclosed sea in the world and provides habitat to more than 100 species of waterbirds from the Palearctic-North African-Middle Eastern regions. Even though the Mediterranean suffers from pollution, has little tidal influence, and is oligotrophic, more than half of the western Palearctic...
Reproductive physiology
G.F. Gee, S.E. Russman
David H. Ellis, George F. Gee, Claire M. Mirande, editor(s)
1996, Book chapter, Cranes: Their Biology, Husbandry, and Conservation
Conclusions: Although the general pattern of avian physiology applies to cranes, we have identified many physiological mechanisms (e.g., effects of disturbance) that need further study. Studies with cranes are expensive compared to those done with domestic fowl because of the crane's larger size, low reproductive rate, and delayed sexual...
Diurnal raptors in the fragmented rain forest of the Sierra Imataca, Venezuela
