Molt patterns and weight changes of the American woodcock
Ray B. Owen, W.B. Krohn
1973, The Wilson Bulletin (85) 31-41
A study of molt and changes in body weight of American Woodcock was conducted to better understand the summer and fall behavior of these birds and to indicate periods of physiological stress. The postnuptial molt of adults was a complete molt beginning in late June and ending by the middle...
Distribution of two western clapper rail races as determined by responses to taped calls
R. E. Tomlinson, R.L. Todd
1973, Condor (75) 177-183
During 1969 and 1970, surveys of the endangered Yuma Clapper Rail were conducted using taped calls to elicit responses from the birds. During the two summers, more than 158 Yuma clappers were located in cattailtule marshes along the Colorado River south of Needles, California, to the International Boundary, a distance...
DDE effects on reproduction of ring doves
M. A. Haegele, R. H. Hudson
1973, Environmental Pollution (4) 53-57
Reproductive performance was measured for 126 days in twelve pairs of ring doves (Streptopelia risoria) fed a diet containing 40 ppm of p,p'-DDE and in twelve other pairs given untreated food. The DDE-treated doves took an average of 212">2 1/2 times longer to renest than controls,...
Eggshell thinning, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and mercury in inland aquatic bird eggs, 1969 and 1970
R.A. Faber, J.J. Hickey
1973, Pesticides Monitoring Journal (7) 27-36
In the Upper Great Lakes States, 9 out of 13 species of fish-eating birds were found in 1969-70 to have sustained statistically significant decreases in eggshell thickness since 1946. Maximum changes in a thickness index occurred in great blue herons (-25%), red-breasted mergansers (-23%), common mergansers (-15%). and double-crested...
Elimination pattern of aroclor 1254 components in the bobwhite
George E. Bagley, E. Cromartie
1973, Journal of Chromatography (75) 219-226
The gas-liquid chromatographic profile for Aroclor 1254 did not maintain its integrity in bobwhite quail fed Aroclor 1254 for 14 days and clean food 14 or 42 days thereafter. Absorption of all components occurred at essentially the same rate, as shown by analysis of quail sacrificed within an hour...
Proceedings of the ninetieth stated meeting of the American Ornithologists' Union
R.C. Banks
1973, The Auk (90) 171-189
The Ninetieth Stated Meeting of the American Ornithologists' Union was held 14-18 August 1972 at Grand Forks, North Dakota, under the sponsorship of the University of North Dakota and the North Dakota Natural Science Society. Business and technical sessions were held on the campus of the University; some social activities...
Bird collections in the United States and Canada
R.C. Banks, M.H. Clench, J.C. Barlow
1973, The Auk (90) 136-170
This survey was initiated in 1966 as a project of a subcommittee of the A.O.U.'s Committee on Research, at that time chaired by Paul H. Baldwin. The subcommittee consisted of the authors and Ralph J. Raitt. In 1968 the project was separated from the Committee on Research and the temporary...
Two-garnet rodingite from Amador County, California
W. A. Duffield, M.H. Beeson
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 665-672
Two distinct phases of garnet have been discovered in rodingite from Amador County, Calif. The two garnets are hydrogrossular and (hydro?) grossular-andradite. Only one, generally hydrogrossular, has been reported in rodingitcs studied by other workers. The rodingite of this study formed from a mafic dike with abundant euhedral plagioclase laths....
Birds imported into the United States in 1971
R. B. Clapp, R.C. Banks
1973, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 170
Birds imported into the United States in 1971 are tabulated by species. Total numbers for the period 1968-1971 are given for the more commonly imported taxa. The number of birds imported in 1971 increased only slightly over that for.1970. In 1971, 750 species were imported, of which...
Pesticide residues in birds and mammals
L.F. Stickel
C.A. Edwards, editor(s)
1973, Book chapter, Environmental Pollution by Pesticides
SUMMARY: Residues of organochlorine pesticides and their breakdown products are present in the tissues of essentially all wild birds throughout the world. These chemicals accumulate in fat from a relatively small environmental exposure. DDE and dieldrin are most prevalent. Others, such as heptachlor epoxide, chlordane, endrin, and benzene hexachloride...
Ground control requirements for precision processing of ERTS images
Thomas C. Burger
1973, Book
With the successful flight of the ERTS-1 satellite, orbital height images are available for precision processing into products such as 1:1,000,000-scale photomaps and enlargements up to 1:250,000 scale. In order to maintain positional error below 100 meters, control points for the precision processing must be carefully selected, clearly definitive on...
Pleistocene succession of the central interior United States
J.C. Frye
1973, Quaternary Research (3) 275-283
The Quaternary of the continental interior of the United States is characterized by deposits from glacial ice, with associated outwash and eolian deposits, and by alluvial deposits produced by the same climatic pulses. Erosional incision of valleys occurred early in the glacial pulse, outwash deposition during the waning phase of...
Sea level history in Beringia during the past 250,000 years
D.M. Hopkins
1973, Quaternary Research (3) 520-540
This paper attempts to relate current knowledge of sea-level history in Beringia to the Broecker-van Donk “Termination” concept of climatic and sea-level history. The Einahnuhtan transgression is thought to represent Termination III, which according to Broecker and van Donk, took place about 225,000...
Mechanisms of high-temperature, solid-state flow in minerals and ceramics and their bearing on the creep behavior of the mantle
Stephen H. Kirby, C.B. Raleigh
1973, Tectonophysics (19) 165-194
The problem of applying laboratory silicate-flow data to the mantle, where conditions can be vastly different, is approached through a critical review of high-temperature flow mechanisms in ceramics and their relation to empirical flow laws. The intimate association of solid-state diffusion and high-temperature creep in pure metals is found to...
Structure of the crust in the conterminous United States
David H. Warren, J. H. Healy
1973, Tectonophysics (20) 203-213
On the basis of the newest interpretations of all sufficiently long seismic profiles, a contour map of the Mohorovičić discontinuity for the conterminous United States is compiled. Differences from earlier interpretations are discussed....
