Evaluating soil contamination
W. N. Beyer
1990, Biological Report 90(2)
This compilation was designed to help U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service contaminant specialists evaluate the degree of contamination of a soil, based on chemical analyses. Included are regulatory criteria, opinions, brief descriptions of scientific articles, and miscellaneous information that might be useful in making risk assessments. The intent was to...
Chlordane Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
R. Eisler
1990, Contaminant Hazard Reviews Report 21 ; Biological Report 85(1.21).
Technical chlordane is an organochlorine compound first introduced into the United States in 1947 in a variety of formulations for use as a broad-spectrum pesticide. By 1974, about 9.5 million kilograms of chlordane were produced annually. Concern over the potential carcinogenicity of chlordane has led to sharply curtailed...
Paraquat Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
R. Eisler
1990, Contaminant Hazard Reviews Report 22 ; Biological Report 85(1.22)
Paraquat (1,1`dimethyl4,4`bipyridinium) are broad-spectrum contact plant killers and herbage desiccants that were introduced commercially during the past 25 years. Today, they rank among the most widely used herbicides globally and are frequently used in combination with other herbicides. The recommended paraquat field application rates for terrestrial weed control...
Boron Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
R. Eisler
1990, Contaminant Hazard Reviews Report 20 ; Biological Report 85(1.20)
Ecological and toxicological aspects of boron (B) in the environment are reviewed, with emphasis on natural resources. Subtopics covered include environmental chemistry, background concentrations, effects, and current recommendations for the protection of living resources. Boron is not now considered essential in mammalian nutrition, although low dietary levels protect against...

1990, Report, Survey Designs and Statistical Methods for the Estimation of Avian Population Trends
The route-regression method has been used in recent years to analyze data from roadside surveys. With this method, a population trend is estimated for each route in a region, then regional trends are estimated as a weighted mean of the individual route trends. This method can accurately incorporate data that...

Eight species of owls regularly occur and may breed in one or more of the southeastern states. Several additional northern or western species appear irregularly as accidentals or during years of southward incursions. In the Southeast, the most common and wide- spread owls are the common barn-owl, eastern screech-owl, great...
