Organochlorine residues in common tern eggs from nine Atlantic coast colonies, 1980 Organochlorine residues in common tern eggs from nine Atlantic coast colonies, 1980
In 1980, 178 Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) eggs were collected in nine colonies from Rhode Island to North Carolina and were analyzed for organochlorines. DDE and PCBs were detected in most of the eggs. Mean concentrations of DDE and PCBs differed among colonies and seemed related to local contamination. Concentrations of DDE and PCBs in Common Tern eggs were well below those reported to...

Effects on birds of fenthion aerial application for mosquito control Effects on birds of fenthion aerial application for mosquito control
Effects on birds of an aerial application of fenthion, a potent organophosphorus cholinesterase (ChE)-inhibiting insecticide, were assessed on four study sites 1.8 to 3.6 km2 in size. These sites were located within 121.5 km2 of wet meadows treated with 47 g of fenthion (AI) per ha in ultra-low-volume formulation. Assessment methods were searches for sick or dead birds, measurements of...

Residues of organochlorine compounds in starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), 1979 Residues of organochlorine compounds in starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), 1979
Starlings were collected for the National Pesticides Monitoring Program from 112 sites throughout the contiguous United States and analyzed for organochlorine compounds. Starling samples from 14 sites had greater than 1.0 ppm DDE residues with the highest DDE level being 15.8 ppm in a sample taken near Roswell, New Mexico. The occurrence of PCBs and chlordane isomers increased since the...

Chewing-removal of radio collars by wolves in Wisconsin Chewing-removal of radio collars by wolves in Wisconsin
From May 1980 through august 1981 we placed 11 machine-belt radio collars on 10 adult gray wolves (Canis lupus) from 4 packs in northwestern Wisconsin. This note reports the loss of 7 collars from chewing by other wolves, apparently pack-mates.
