Zhou Wenyang, Wei Wanhong, Dean E. Biggins
1995, Acta Theriologica Sinica (15) 267-272
The red fox, Vulpes vulpes, was investigated with snow tracking, radiotracking and directive observation at the Haibei Research Station of Alpine Meadow Ecosystem, Academia Sinica, from March to September 1994. The objectives of this study were to determine the distribution and use of natal dens, activity rhythms, and home range...

Brown trout avoidance of metals in water characteristic of the Clark Fork River, Montana
Daniel F. Woodward, James A. Hansen, Harold L. Bergman, Aaron J. DeLonay, Edward E. Little
1995, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (52) 2031-2037
The avoidance response of brown trout (Salmo trutta) to mixtures of cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc was determined in water simulating the Clark Fork River, Montana. Effects of acidification on the avoidance response were also evaluated. Tests were conducted in a cylindrical chamber that received reference water at one end...
Concentrations of dissolved and particulate Polychlorinated Biphenyls in water from the Saginaw River, Michigan
David A. Verbrugge, John P. Giesy, Miguel A. Mora, Lisa L. Williams, Ronald Rossmann, Russell A. Moll, Marc Tuchman
1995, Journal of Great Lakes Research (21) 219-233
The Saginaw River receives water from a major drainage basin in the east-central portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Historically the river has been contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from several sources. The present study was conducted to determine the concentrations of PCBs in both the dissolved and particulate...
Do toxic substances pose a threat to rehabilitation of lake trout in the Great Lakes? A review of the literature
Michaela T. Zint, William W. Taylor, Leon Carl, Carol C. Edsall, John Heinrich, Al Sippel, Dennis Lavis, Ted Schaner
1995, Journal of Great Lakes Research (21) 530-546
Toxic substances have been suspected of being one of the causes of Great Lakes lake trout reproductive failure. Because toxic substances are present in the Great Lakes basin, managers should be aware of the role of contaminants in preventing lake trout rehabilitation. This paper summarizes studies which have sought to...
Influence of temperature on incubation rates of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from ten Washington populations
John T. Konecki, Carol Ann Woody, Thomas P. Quinn
1995, Northwest Science (69) 126-132
Coho salmon from 10 Washington populations were incubated under controlled conditions to determine the levels of variation in time to hatch among populations and families within populations. The average incubation rate was somewhat slower than that estimated from a quantitative model derived from British Columbia populations, and was slightly faster...
Seasonal growth and duration of the parasitic life stage of the landlocked sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus)
Roger A. Bergstedt, William D. Swink
1995, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (52) 1257-1264
We used lengths and weights of 2367 live parasitic-phase sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) collected from Lake Huron, 1984–1990, to calculate their mean size at half-month intervals. Growth in weight was linear during June through September; increments averaged 11.1 g per half month. Growth increased sharply in October to several times the...
Limitations to lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) rehabilitation in the Great Lakes imposed by biotic interactions occurring at early life stages
Michael L. Jones, Gary W. Eck, David O. Evans, Mary C. Fabrizio, Michael H. Hoff, Patrick L. Hudson, John Janssen, David Jude, Robert O’Gorman, Jacqueline F. Savino
1995, Journal of Great Lakes Research (21) 505-517
We examine evidence that biotic factors, particularly predation, may be limiting early survival of wild lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) juveniles in many areas of the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes contain numerous potential predators of lake trout eggs and fry, some of which are recent invaders, and most of which...

Census methodologies of Black-legged Kittiwakes in Glacier Bay National Park
Elizabeth Ross Hooge
Daniel R. Engstrom, editor(s)
1995, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the third Glacier Bay science symposium
Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) have recently experienced widespread population declines and frequent colony failures throughout the North Pacific. At Glacier Bay National Park, the Margerie Glacier colony was censused visually in 1991 through 1993. In 1993 a new photographic census technique was also tested to assess its feasibility, accuracy, and...
A comparison of avian hematozoan epizootiology in two California coastal scrub communities
Paul E. Super, Charles van Riper III
1995, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (31) 447-461
Passerine birds within two California (USA) coastal scrub ecosystems, an island and a mainland site, were examined for hematozoa from 1984 to 1990. Island birds had a significantly lower hematozoan prevalence than mainland birds. This prevalence difference can be related to a lack...
Prey preference of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in Glacier Bay National Park

Daniel R. Engstrom, editor(s)
1995, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the third Glacier Bay science symposium
Stomach contents were collected from sport-caught halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. Stomach samples containing a combination of fish and invertebrate species were observed less frequently than expected. Small, subtidal, noncommercial crab and cod-like fish (Gadidae) appear to be the most important prey items. In thc dict of Pacific halibut....
Anomalous gold, antimony, arsenic, and tungsten in ground water and alluvium around disseminated gold deposits along the Getchell Trend, Humboldt County, Nevada
D. J. Grimes, W. H. Ficklin, A. L. Meier, J. B. McHugh
1995, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (52) 351-371
Ground-water, alluvium, and bedrock samples were collected from drill holes near the Chimney Creek, Preble, Summer Camp, and Rabbit Creek disseminated gold deposits in northern Nevada to determine if Au and ore-related metals, such as As, Sb, and W, are being...

Age-at-maturity estimates for Atlantic coast female striped bass
David L. Berlinsky, Mary C. Fabrizio, John F. O'Brien, Jennifer L. Specker
1995, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (124) 207-215
This study was undertaken to estimate the percentage of mature female striped bass Morone saxatilis present in each age-class during annual coastal feeding migration. Migratory striped bass (N = 302) were sampled in coastal Rhode Island waters during spring (May-June) and fall (September-November) from 1985 to 1987. Stocks...

Transport behavior of groundwater protozoa and protozoan-sized microspheres in sandy aquifer sediments
R.W. Harvey, N.E. Kinner, A. Bunn, Duncan MacDonald, D. Metge
1995, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (61) 209-217
Transport behaviors of unidentified flagellated protozoa (flagellates) and flagellate-sized carboxylated microspheres in sandy, organically contaminated aquifer sediments were investigated in a small-scale (1 to 4-m travel distance) natural-gradient tracer test on Cape Cod and in flow-through columns packed with sieved (0.5-to 1.0-mm grain size) aquifer sediments. The minute (average...
The minimal response to contact metamorphism by the Devonian Buchan Caves Limestone, Buchan Rift, Victoria, Australia
C.E. Barker, Y. Bone
1995, Organic Geochemistry (22) 151-164
A 2.2 m thick, Late Eocene (?) dike that intruded the Devonian Buchan Caves Limestone, near Murrindal, Victoria, has produced a narrow contact aureole only centimeters wide in the adjacent host rock. Mean solid bitumen reflectance ranges from about 2.4 to 2.7% and shows little change up to 6 m...
