Organochlorine residues in Atlantic coast black-crowned night-heron eggs, 1979 Organochlorine residues in Atlantic coast black-crowned night-heron eggs, 1979
Eggs of Black-crowned Night-Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) were collected in 1979 from two colonies in North Carolina, two colonies in Rhode Island, and one colony in Massachusetts. Mean concentrations of DDE and PCBs were higher in the New England samples than in those from North Carolina, Mean concentrations of organochlorine contaminants in addled eggs collccted at two New England...

DDE in brown and white fat of hibernating bats DDE in brown and white fat of hibernating bats
Samples of brown and white fat from hibernating bats (big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus; little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus; and eastern pipistrelle, Pipistrellus subflavus) collected in western Maryland, USA, were analysed to determine lipid and DDE content. Amounts of brown fat, expressed as percentages of total bat weight, were the same for all three species. Lipid content of brown fat...

Year and age effects on residues of dieldrin and heptachlor in dead gray bats, Franklin County, Missouri— 1976, 1977, and 1978 Year and age effects on residues of dieldrin and heptachlor in dead gray bats, Franklin County, Missouri— 1976, 1977, and 1978
Dead gray bats (Myotis grisescens) containing lethal concentrations of dieldrin were found beneath a maternity roost in Bat Cave Nos. 2 and 3, Franklin County, Missouri, in 1976, 1977 and 1978. Whereas residues of dieldrin, DDE [1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene] and PCB polychlorinated biphenyls in bats appeared not to change significantly over the 3 years, residues of...

Hemorrhagic enteritis in captive American kestrels (Falco sparverius) Hemorrhagic enteritis in captive American kestrels (Falco sparverius)
Hemorrhagic enteritis and hepatitis of suspected adenovirus etiology were the apparent cause of death of nine captive American kestrels. Cloacal hemorrhage was the only prominent gross lesion: disseminated hepatocellular necrosis, and intranuclear inclusion bodies were evident microscopically. Electron microscopy revealed numerous adenovirus-like particles associated with the hepatic...
