Hematology of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) Hematology of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Hemograms on blood obtained from 10 clinically normal West Indian Manatees (Trichechus manatus) were studied. The red cells were large and in lower number than in most terrestrial species. The manatee does not have a neutrophil as is present in most species, but it has a heterophil whose granules stain pink with the Wright-Giemsa stain. The eosinophil has uniform red-staining granules...

Lumber spill in central California waters: Implications for oil spills and sea otters Lumber spill in central California waters: Implications for oil spills and sea otters
A large quantity of lumber was spilled in the ocean off central California during the winter of 1978, and it spread through most of the range of the threatened California sea otter population within 4 weeks. The movement rates of lumber were similar to those of oil slicks observed elsewhere. These observations indicate that a major oil spill could expose significant numbers of California...

A population model of the lizard Uta stansburiana, in southern Nevada A population model of the lizard Uta stansburiana, in southern Nevada
Population densities, reproduction, and survival of the lizard Uta stansburiana were measured at the Nevada Test Site in southern Nevada, USA, between 1964 and 1974. These data were used to develop a model of the population dynamics of this species. Results of irrigation experiments in 0.4—ha enclosures near Mercury, Nevada, were used to formulate multiple—regression equations predicting...
