Buffer zones of territories of gray wolves as regions of intraspecific strife Buffer zones of territories of gray wolves as regions of intraspecific strife
The locations of 22 territorial gray wolves (Canis lupus) killed by conspecifics in northeastern Minnesota were analyzed in a study involving radio-telemetry from 1968 through 1992. Twenty-three percent of the wolves were killed precisely on the borders of their estimated territories; 41%, within 1.0 km (16% of the radius of their mean-estimated territory) inside or outside the estimated...

Famphur Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review Famphur Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
Famphur (phosphorothioic acid, O,(4((dimethylamino)sulfonyl),phenoyl)O,Odimethyl ester), also known as Warbex, is a systemic organophosphorus insecticide used almost exclusively as a veterinary chemical to control parasite in livestock. Only famphur and its oxygen analog, famoxon, were of toxicological significance; other famphur metabolites were 31 to 237 times less toxic, as Judged by...

Measuring and monitoring biological diversity: Standard methods for amphibians Measuring and monitoring biological diversity: Standard methods for amphibians
Measuring and Monitoring Biological Diversity is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of standard methods for biodiversity sampling of amphibians, with information on analyzing and using data that will interest biologists in general. In this manual, nearly fifty herpetologists recommend ten standard sampling procedures for measuring and monitoring amphibian and many other...
Hatchery performance of six Atlantic salmon stocks from fry to smolt Hatchery performance of six Atlantic salmon stocks from fry to smolt
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from four Penobscot River, Maine, brood stocks (two wild and two captive) and two landlocked brood stocks (Grand Lake, Maine, and Lake George, New York) were evaluated in hatchery tests to measure differential performance characteristics. Each stock was received as eyed eggs and cultured under standardized rearing conditions through 16 months. Penobscot...
