Cholinesterase activity in Japanese quail dusted with carbaryl Cholinesterase activity in Japanese quail dusted with carbaryl
Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were dusted with 5% carbaryl to determine if this topical treatment would alter plasma and brain cholinesterase activities. Within 6 hours after dusting, plasma cholinesterase activity was depressed compared with controls, the depression averaging 20% for females and 27% for males. By 24 hours the cholinesterase activity of females had returned...

Nationwide residues of organochlorine compounds in wings of adult mallards and black ducks, 1976-77 Nationwide residues of organochlorine compounds in wings of adult mallards and black ducks, 1976-77
Organochlorine residues in wings of adult mallards and black ducks were monitored nationwide during the 1976-77 hunting season. DDE was found in all samples. Levels were unchanged since the 1972-73 collections in all migratory routes except the Pacific Flyway, in which residue levels declined significantly. Dieldrin levels had not changed in any flyway and residues remained low. PCB...

With modifications in current logging practices, habitat for the bird species that nest in undisturbed stands can be provided. Management guidelines are
