Macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with patterns in land use and water quality Macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with patterns in land use and water quality
Most national parks were designated to preserve significant natural resources. Park borders often reflect political rather than ecological boundaries. Consequently, catchments of many streams are only partially within park boundaries, and are therefore subject to land use changes and potential contamination from non-point sources outside the park. The National Park Service has initiated...

Nontarget bird exposure to DRC-1339 during fall in North Dakota and spring in South Dakota Nontarget bird exposure to DRC-1339 during fall in North Dakota and spring in South Dakota
Blackbirds frequently use ripening sunflower (Heltantbus annuus) as a food source in the northern Great Plains. In 1999 and 2000, the avicide DRC-1339 (3-chloro-4-methylaniline hydrochloride) was used experimentally on fall-ripening sunflower fields in North Dakota so researchers could evaluate its effectiveness for reducing crop depredations by blackbirds. DRC-1339 was applied to rice...
