Effects of chronic ingestion of South Louisiana crude oil on mallard ducklings Effects of chronic ingestion of South Louisiana crude oil on mallard ducklings
South Louisiana crude oil was fed to duckling mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in concentrations of 0.025, 0.25, 2.5, and 5.0% of the diet from hatching to 8 weeks of age to assess the effects of chronic oil ingestion during early development. Growth was depressed in birds receiving a diet containing 5% oil but there was no oil-related mortality. Diets containing 0.25, 2.5, and 5.0% oil...

Influence of laying on lead accumulation in bone of mallard ducks Influence of laying on lead accumulation in bone of mallard ducks
Paired mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) were given No. 4 lead shot, and bone lead concentrations were compared in drakes and in laying and nonlaying hens. Lead accumulation was significantly greater in bones with a high medullary content (femur and sternum) compared with bones with a lower medullary content (ulna-radius or wingbones). In dosed groups, hens always contained higher bone...

Uptake of dietary PCB by pregnant big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) and their fetuses Uptake of dietary PCB by pregnant big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) and their fetuses
In a previous study (CLARK and LAMONT 1976), 26 pregnant big brown bats were captured, caged, and fed uncontaminated mealworms until their litters were born. Immediately after parturition, female bats and litters were frozen. Five litters included at least one dead young, and these five litters contained significantly more of the PCB, Aroclor 1260, than did the 21 litters with only...
