Toxicity of sediments and pore water from Brunswick Estuary, Georgia
Parley V. Winger, Peter J. Lasier, Harvey Geitner
1993, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (25) 371-376
A chlor-alkali plant in Brunswick, Georgia, USA, discharged >2 kg mercury/d into a tributary of the Turtle River-Brunswick Estuary from 1966 to 1971. Mercury concentrations in sediments collected in 1989 along the tributary near the chlor-alkali plant ranged from 1 to 27 μg/g (dry weight), with the highest concentrations found...
[Book review] Bird trapping and bird banding: A handbook for tapping methods all over the world
R. B. Clapp
1993, The Auk (110) 421-422
This book is a translation of a German edition published in 1978 by Die Neue Brehm-Bucherei, which in turn is a summary of four parts published earlier (1967-1970). Its main title, a direct translation of the German Vogelfang und Vogelberingung is misleading. Only six pages deal with matters one might...

Environmental contaminants in bald eagle eggs—1980–84—and further interpretations of relationships to productivity and shell thickness
Stanley N. Wiemeyer, Christine M. Bunck, Charles J. Stafford
1993, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (24) 213-227
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) eggs were collected in 15 States in the United States in 1980–1984 and analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and mercury. Data were compared and combined with data from earlier studies to examine trends and refine relationships of contaminants to shell thickness and young production....

Effects of dietary aluminum, calcium, and phosphorus on egg and bone of European starlings

1993, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (24) 206-212
Egg and bone of passerine birds nesting in acidified habitats may be affected by high levels of Al or P, or low levels of Ca. Nine treatments of three levels of dietary Al (target levels of 200, 1,000, and 5,000 μg/g) and three levels of Ca:P (target levels of NN...
Environmental contaminants in canvasbacks wintering on San Francisco Bay, California
A.K. Miles, H. M. Ohlendorf
1993, California Fish and Game (79) 28-38
The concentrations of 11 trace elements, 21 organochlorines, 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and 13 aliphatic hydrocarbons were determined in canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) wintering on San Francisco Bay, California during 1988. With the exception of Se, concentrations of potentially toxic elements were low. Similarly, concentrations of most organic compounds were near...

Three observations of young wolf (Canis lupus) pups in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, and two on Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, indicate that pups <33 days of age are highly resistant to inclement weather, contrary to earlier conjecture....

Evaluation of three elevated mist-net systems for sampling birds

1993, Journal of Field Ornithology (64) 270-277
Three light-weight, low-canopy mist-net systems were developed and tested in dry tropical scrub, mangrove and forest habitats. One plastic (polyvinyl chloride) and two aluminum pole systems (with and without pulleys) were used to support mist nets to heights of up to 7.3 m. Although the aluminum telescoping-pole system (without pulleys)...
Natural range expansion and local extirpation of an exotic psittacine--an unsuccessful colonization attempt

The Brown-throated Parakeet Aratinga pertinax is native to Panama, northern South America, and the islands off the northern coast of Venezuela. It is widely believed that the parakeet was introduced to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, from Curacao before the mid-19th century, although no records exist as to when and...
Natal dispersal and gene flow in white-tailed deer in northeastern Minnesota
M.E. Nelson
1993, Journal of Mammalogy (74) 316-322
I documented natal dispersal and gene flow in 79 yearling white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in northeastern Minnesota during 1974–1988. Sixty-four percent (n = 28) of 44 males and 20% (n = 7) of 35 females dispersed from their natal home ranges when 1.0–1.5-years old. Eighty-six percent and 95%, of all yearlings...
