A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards
A comparative study was undertaken to document more closely the effects of operational pesticide use on non-target avian species. Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) and American Robin (Turdus migratorius) nesting activity was monitored in three organic and three conventional orchards during two breeding seasons. Surveys were conducted to characterize the avian community within orchards...

Robustness of survival estimates for radio-marked animals Robustness of survival estimates for radio-marked animals
Telemetry techniques are often used to study the survival of birds and mammals; particularly whcn mark-recapture approaches are unsuitable. Both parametric and nonparametric methods to estimate survival have becn developed or modified from other applications. An implicit assumption in these approaches is that the probability of re-locating an animal with a functioning transmitter is one...

Relating results from earthworm toxicity tests to agricultural soil Relating results from earthworm toxicity tests to agricultural soil
The artificial soil tests of the European Economic Community and of the Organization for Economic Cooperation produce data relating earthworm mortality to pesticide concentrations in soil under laboratory conditions. To apply these results to agricultural soils it is necessary to relate these concentrations to amounts of pesticide applied per area. This paper reviews the relevant...
