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.

Physical habitat and its alteration: A common ground for exposure of amphibians to environmental stressors Physical habitat and its alteration: A common ground for exposure of amphibians to environmental stressors
Amphibians as a class of vertebrates have persisted for hundreds of millions of years (Stebbins and Cohen 1995), but they are currently threatened by a variety of stressors, many resulting from human-related alterations of the environment. Most species of amphibians live closely associated with moist environments throughout their life and have evolved specialized adaptations that...
