Effects of krenite® brush control agent (fosamine ammonium) on embryonic development in mallards and bobwhite Effects of krenite® brush control agent (fosamine ammonium) on embryonic development in mallards and bobwhite
Fosamine ammonium (Krenite®) is a highly water-soluble carbamoylphosphonate herbicide used to control woody brush. It has been reported to be teratogenic to avian embryos following spray application of the eggs. The embryotoxic and teratogenic potential of Krenite was examined in mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). At 96 h of development, eggs were briefly...

Response of urinary hydroxyproline to dietary protein and fasting in white-tailed deer Response of urinary hydroxyproline to dietary protein and fasting in white-tailed deer
The effects of dietary protein, fasting, and refeeding on urinary hydroxyproline of nine captive female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were examined from 23 February to 3 May 1984 in northern Minnesota. In the fasted group, mean hydroxyproline: creatinine (OHP:C) was greater (P 0.05) at week 4 compared to baseline at week 0. Between fasted deer and deer fed high protein-high...

Simple, specific analysis of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides in sediments using column extraction and gas chromatography Simple, specific analysis of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides in sediments using column extraction and gas chromatography
A simple, specific procedure was developed for the analysis of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides in sediment. The wet soil was mixed with anhydrous sodium sulfate to bind water and the residues were column extracted in acetonermethylene chloride (1:1, v/v). Coextracted water was removed by additional sodium sulfate packed below the sample mixture. The eluate was concentrated and...

Length of stay and fat content of migrant semipalmated sandpipers in eastern Maine Length of stay and fat content of migrant semipalmated sandpipers in eastern Maine
Semipalmated Sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) stop at coastal staging areas in the Canadian maritime provinces and northeastern United States to replenish fat reserves before initiating a nonstop transoceanic flight of at least 3,200 km to wintering areas in South America. The relationship between estimated fat content at capture and length of stay (days between marking and last observation...
