Portable platforms for setting rocket nets in open-water areas
R. R. Cox Jr., A. D. Afton
1994, Journal of Field Ornithology (65) 551-555
Portable platforms for setting rocket nets in open-water habitats were developed and used to capture 1116 waterfowl of seven species during September and October 1991 and 1992 in southwestern Louisiana. Incidence of mortality (1% of captured birds) and escape (3% of captured birds) was low. Rocket-netting from platforms was a...

Evolution of volcanic rocks and associated ore deposits in the Marysvale volcanic field, Utah
Charles G. Cunningham, Thomas A. Steven, Peter D. Rowley, Charles W. Naeser, Harald H. Mehnert, Carl E. Hedge, Kenneth R. Ludwig
1994, Economic Geology (89) 2003-2005
A geological account on the igneous activity and associated mineral deposition in the volcanic field of Marysvale in Utah is presented. Three episodes (34-22 Ma, 22-14 Ma and 9-5 Ma) involved in the volcanic rock eruption and associated mineralization are described. The first episode is believed to have occurred during...

Polychlorinated biphenyl congeners in emergent mayflies from the upper Mississippi River
M.T. Steingraeber, T.R. Schwartz, J.G. Wiener, J.A. Lebo
1994, Environmental Science & Technology (28) 707-714
We determined polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) in emergent mayflies (hexagenia bilineata) from a 1250-km reach of the upper mississippi river (UMR). Total pcb concentrations (sum of 125 congeners) ranged from 0.21 To 4.1 Mu g/g of dry weight (1.2-29 mu g/g of lipid weight). Concentrations were highest in pools near the...

Porcelain-white milky quartz crystals with pale green botryoidal fluorite, and attractive anatase and brookite microcrystals, are found in this little-prospected area of the San Juan Mountains. -Authors...
Sorption of chlorobenzenes to cape cod aquifer sediments
L.B. Barber II
1994, Environmental Science & Technology (28) 890-897
Sorption of tetra- and pentachlorobenzene by sediment from a glacial outwash aquifer on Cape Cod, MA, was evaluated. Particle size and mineralogical fractions (separated based on paramagnetic susceptibility) were characterized with respect to sediment organic carbon (SOC), mineralogy, surface area, metal oxide coatings, and spatial variability. SOC increases by a...

Trace elements in canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) wintering in Louisiana, USA, 1987-1988
Thomas W. Custer, William L. Hohman
1994, Environmental Pollution (84) 253-259
We determined trace element concentrations in livers of canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) collected at Catahoula Lake and the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana during, the winter of 1987–1988. Forty percent of canvasbacks wintering at Lake Catahoula had elevated concentrations of lead (>6·7 μg g−1 dry weight) in the liver; 33% had concentrations...

Prospects for improving the salt tolerance of forest trees: A review
J. A. Allen, J. L. Chambers, M. Stine
1994, Tree Physiology (14) 843-853
Three major themes related to the improvement of salt tolerance in forest tree species are examined. First, evidence demonstrating that substantial intraspecific variation in salt tolerance exists in many species is presented. This evidence is important because it suggests that efforts to improve salt tolerance through conventional plant breeding techniques...

Volcanic gas emissions and their impact on ambient air character at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii

Currently, gas emissions from Kilauea occur from the summit caldera, along the middle East Rift Zone (ERZ), and where lava enters the ocean. We estimate that the current ERZ eruption of Kilauea releases between 400 metric tonnes of SO2 per day, during eruptive pauses, to as much as 1850 metric...

Estimates of spawning habitat for white sturgeons Acipenser transmontanus in the tailraces of the four dams on the lower 470 km of the Columbia River were obtained by using the Physical Habitat Simulation System of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Instream Flow Incremental Methodology to identify areas with suitable...
A microassay for gill sodium, potassium-activated ATPase in juvenile Pacific salmon
Robin M. Schrock, John W. Beeman, Dennis W. Rondorf, Philip V. Haner
1994, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (123) 223-229
A microassay well-plate method is described for determining Na+,K+-ATPase activities of small gill sections from juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. The method differs from the established macromethod by detecting inorganic phosphate in nanomole rather than micromole concentrations. This permits the use of much smaller tissue samples, which makes it possible...
Phenotypic divergence of secondary sexual traits among sage grouse, Centrocercus urophasianus, populations

1994, Animal Behaviour (37) 1353-1362
Sage grouse, Centrocercus urophasianus, in an isolated montane basin near Gunnison, Colorado differ in several morphological and behavioural traits from conspecifics studied in other areas of the species' range. Both sexes in Gunnison are smaller than sage grouse elsewhere, and males possess differences in feather morphology as well. The mating...
