Drug immobilization of walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) Drug immobilization of walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)
Five out of nine walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) were successfully immobilized at Round Island, Alaska, in May of 1978 by combinations of phencyclidine hydrochloride and acepromazine hydrochloride. A crossbow was an effective delivery technique. Walruses that had recently hauled out were more suitable for immobilization than well-rested animals. Care was taken to prevent walruses from...

Spatial variation in transferrin allele frequencies among herds of feral donkeys in Death Valley National Monument, California Spatial variation in transferrin allele frequencies among herds of feral donkeys in Death Valley National Monument, California
Serum proteins were studied to clarify interrelationships of seemingly disjunct herds of feral donkeys (Equus asinus) in the mountains of Death Valley National Monument, California. Sera of 162 donkeys from five localities in the Panamint Mountains were examined by starch-gel electrophoresis to assess polymorphic variation in transferrins. Four homozygous and six heterozygous transferrin

Ecological studies of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae in a barrier sand dune Ecological studies of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae in a barrier sand dune
An ecological survey of the vegetation of a barrier dune on the south coast of Rhode Island showed Ammophila breviligulata, Solidago sempervirens, Lathyrus japonicus, and Myrica pensylvanica to be the dominant plant species. All plants were mycorrhizal. Six species of vesicular–arbuscular (VA) fungi occurred in association with these plants, with Gigaspora gigantea and Acaulospora...
