Environmental contaminants and productivity in an extinct heronry at Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, U.S.A., 1984 Environmental contaminants and productivity in an extinct heronry at Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, U.S.A., 1984
Our objectives were to collect information on contaminant levels and productivity of wading birds at the Drum Island heronry in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, before diversion of the Cooper River took place in 1985. The diversion was expected to reduce water flow by ∼80% into the Harbor, thereby concentrating industrial effluents near the heronry with potentially harmful effects...

A new era for carnivore conservation A new era for carnivore conservation
Restoration has become an important technique in carnivore management. As the public becomes increasingly interested in carnivores, their management may become more contentious. Nevertheless, the value of this charismatic group of animals is high. Although they will have to be controlled where interfering too much with human activities, they should also be nurtured wherever they can live

Effects of boron and selenium on mallard reproduction and duckling growth and survival Effects of boron and selenium on mallard reproduction and duckling growth and survival
Boron (B) and selenium (Se) sometimes occur together in high concentrations in the environment and can accumulate in plants and invertebrates consumed by waterfowl. One hundred twenty-six pairs of breeding mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were fed diets supplemented with B (as boric acid) at 0, 450, or 900 ppm, in combination with Se (as seleno-DL-methionine) at 0, 3.5, or 7 ppm, in a...

Habitat characteristics of American woodcock nest sites on a managed area in Maine Habitat characteristics of American woodcock nest sites on a managed area in Maine
We measured characteristics of habitat near 89 nests of American woodcock (Scolopax minor) and 100 randomly selected points on Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, Calais, Maine, an area managed for woodcock. At nest sites, basal area was lower (P 0.001), densities of deciduous saplings were greater (P 0.001), densities of coniferous saplings were lower (P = 0.001), densities of shrub...
