Book review: Birds of Delaware Book review: Birds of Delaware
Located along Delaware Bay and the Atlantic coast, the state of Delaware’s significance for bird conservation has been well established for decades. The extensive tidal habitats and marshes bordering Delaware Bay host shorebird and waterbird populations of hemispheric importance, and protecting these populations has become an urgent conservation priority in recent years. Other habitats...

Evaluation of borehole geophysical logs and hydraulic tests, phase III, at AIW Frank/Mid-County Mustang Superfund Site, Chester County, Pennsylvania Evaluation of borehole geophysical logs and hydraulic tests, phase III, at AIW Frank/Mid-County Mustang Superfund Site, Chester County, Pennsylvania
Borehole geophysical logs, heatpulse-flowmeter measurements, and aquifer-isolation tests were used to characterize the ground-water-flow system at the AIW Frank/Mid-County Mustang Superfund Site. The site is underlain by fractured carbonate rocks. Caliper, natural-gamma, single-point-resistance, fluid-resistivity, and fluid-temperature logs were run in six wells, and an acoustic borehole

The effect of depuration on transmission of Aeromonas salmonicida between the freshwater bivalve Amblema plicata Arctic char The effect of depuration on transmission of Aeromonas salmonicida between the freshwater bivalve Amblema plicata Arctic char
A model system was used to study bacterial fish pathogen transmission between the freshwater bivalve Amblema plicata and two strains (Nauyuk and Labrador) of Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus. Aeromonas salmonicida, the cause of fish furunculosis, was readily transmitted from Arctic char to A. plicata and vice versa via simple cohabitation. Clinical furunculosis was artificially established...

Trekking poles: Can you save your knees and the environment? Trekking poles: Can you save your knees and the environment?
The increasing use of trekking poles has stimulated a growing awareness of some environmental and social impacts associated with their use. These impacts have not been documented in the scientific literature. This article reviews the impacts of trekking pole use to provide a basis for further dialogue, and suggests how they may be altered or used in ways that will minimize impact.

Neuroendocrine and behavioral implications of endocrine disrupting chemicals in quail Neuroendocrine and behavioral implications of endocrine disrupting chemicals in quail
Studies in our laboratory have focused on endocrine, neuroendocrine, and behavioral components of reproduction in the Japanese quail. These studies considered various stages in the life cycle, including embryonic development, sexual maturation, adult reproductive function, and aging. A major focus of our research has been the role of neuroendocrine systems that appear to synchronize both...
