Persistent environmental contaminants in fish and wildlife Persistent environmental contaminants in fish and wildlife
The publication of Silent Spring (Carson 1962) highlighted the potential for dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) and other pesticides that persist in the environment to accumulate in and to harm fish, wildlife, and the ecosystems upon which they depend. The federal government responded in the mid-1960's by establishing a multi-agency program to monitor the concentrations of pesticides...

Artificial insemination and cryopreservation of semen from nondomestic birds Artificial insemination and cryopreservation of semen from nondomestic birds
Studies of Al and cryopreservation of semen from nondomestic birds began because of the increased emphasis on conservation of avian species threatened with extinction. Over the years, aviculturists have developed techniques for Al and cryopreservation of semen obtained from a variety of birds ranging from passerines to Andean condors. Generally, for each new species, we develop a...

Pack structure and genetic relatedness among wolf packs in a naturally-regulated population Pack structure and genetic relatedness among wolf packs in a naturally-regulated population
Observations of wolf pack dynamics over a six-year period in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, found high rates of intraspecific strife, wolf pack dissolution and new pack formation, and the acceptance of new wolves into established packs. These observations corroborate genetic studies that found more genetic links between packs, and more genetic diversity within packs, than...
