The use of habitat structure preferenda for establishing flow regimes necessary for maintenance of fish habitat
Clair B. Stalnaker
1979, Book chapter, The Ecology of Regulated Streams
The pursuit of simplicity in the complex management of instream and out-of-stream water uses very early led to the minimum, or “base,” flow concept and the myth that a consistent methodology could be used to establish the desired minimum flow. Such a single flow value has not proven to be...

Effects of aldrin exposure on snow geese in Texas rice fields
Edward L. Flickinger
1979, Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 94-101
In 1972 and 1974, 112 dead or moribund snow geese (Chen c. caerulescens), mostly immature white-phase males, were found in a study area on the Garwood Prairie, Texas. Dying geese were observed within 2 days after rice fields planted with aldrin-treated seed were flooded by heavy tains6n 21 March 1972...
Primary feather molt of adult mourning doves in North and South Carolina
G.H. Haas, S.R. Amend
1979, Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 202-207
Examination of 8,141 adult mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) in North and South Carolina revealed that substantial numbers complete primary feather molt in September. Adult mourning doves shed primaries at the rate of 1 per 14 days. No difference was found in this rate between sexes or among years, 1969-74. The...
Contributions to the mammalogy of Chile

1979, Mammalia (43) 339-376
Collections of mammals were made during more than three years of biological investigations in Chile sponsored by the Corporación Nacional Forestal under the aegis of the Peace Corps (Smithsonian Environmental Program). Genera and species hitherto unreported for that country were taken and many useful data concerning distributional patterns of...
An improved method of censusing deer in deciduous-coniferous forests
T.J. Floyd, L.D. Mech, M.E. Nelson
1979, The Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 258-261
Aerial censusing has been used to determine densities of many large mammals, including deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in agricultural areas or deciduous forests (Saugstad 1942, Morse 1946, Petrides 1953, Sanderson 1953, Berner pers. comm.). However, observability of deer from the air remains a problem in northern coniferous forests. LeResche and...

Line transect estimation of population size: the exponential case with grouped data
David R. Anderson, K.P. Burnham, B.R. Crain
1979, Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods (8) 487-507
Gates, Marshall, and Olson (1968) investigated the line transect method of estimating grouse population densities in the case where sighting probabilities are exponential. This work is followed by a simulation study in Gates (1969). A general overview of line transect analysis is presented by Burnham and Anderson (1976). These articles...

Modeling sandhill crane population dynamics
Douglas H. Johnson
1979, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 222
The impact of sport hunting on the Central Flyway population of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) has been a subject of controversy for several years. A recent study (Buller 1979) presented new and important information on sandhill crane population dynamics. The present report is intended to incorporate that and other information...
Excretion of the lampricide Bayer 73 by rainbow trout

1979, Conference Paper, Aquatic toxicology: Proceedings of the second annual symposium on aquatic toxicology
Urinary excretion of the 2-aminoethanol salt of 2′, 5-dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide (Bayer 73) in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was measured after exposure of the trout to Bayer 73 and also after intraperitoneal (ip) injection of the lampricide. Fish exposed to 0.05 mg/litre of Bayer 73 for 12 h quickly began to excrete...

An intensive study of post-breeding and migrating shorebirds was conducted in 1976 on a major estuary of the Alaska Peninsula at Nelson Lagoon. Twenty species were recorded, eight of them breeding on the study area. Temporal patterns of relative abundance were obtained from aerial and ground censuses. Prominent events in...
Influence of dietary zinc on cataracts in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
H. G. Ketola
1979, Journal of Nutrition (109) 965-969
The purpose of this study was to determine the cause of lens cataracts in hatchery trout fed diets containing white fish meal. After preliminary investigations, three experiments were conducted with fry of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) that were fed practical-type diets containing either 40% herring meal (control diet) or 40%...
