Lost and found: Louisiana’s coastal prairies Lost and found: Louisiana’s coastal prairies
It’s hard to fathom, but in just 250 years, some 2.5 million acres of coastal prairie that once blanketed in southwest Louisiana have dwindled to just 200 in scattered parcels. The journals of early settlers give us a peek at what it was like: “plentiful game,” “seemingly infinite range for livestock forage,” “long growing season.” As the human population grew, with its concomitant...

Oxidation-reduction processes in ground water at Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Dallas, Texas Oxidation-reduction processes in ground water at Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Dallas, Texas
Concentrations of trichloroethene in ground water at the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant in Dallas, Texas, indicate three source areas of chlorinated solvents?building 1, building 6, and an off-site source west of the facility. The presence of daughter products of reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene, which were not used at the facility, south and southwest of the source...

Estimating the susceptibility of surface water in Texas to nonpoint-source contamination by use of logistic regression modeling Estimating the susceptibility of surface water in Texas to nonpoint-source contamination by use of logistic regression modeling
In the State of Texas, surface water (streams, canals, and reservoirs) and ground water are used as sources of public water supply. Surface-water sources of public water supply are susceptible to contamination from point and nonpoint sources. To help protect sources of drinking water and to aid water managers in designing protective yet cost-effective and risk-mitigated monitoring...

Herbicides and herbicide degradation products in upper midwest agricultural streams during august base-flow conditions Herbicides and herbicide degradation products in upper midwest agricultural streams during august base-flow conditions
Herbicide concentrations in streams of the U.S. Midwest have been shown to decrease through the growing season due to a variety of chemical and physical factors. The occurrence of herbicide degradation products at the end of the growing season is not well known. This study was conducted to document the occurrence of commonly used herbicides and their degradation products in Illinois...

Longitudinal analysis of bioaccumulative contaminants in freshwater fishes Longitudinal analysis of bioaccumulative contaminants in freshwater fishes
The National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (NCBP) was initiated in 1967 as a component of the National Pesticide Monitoring program. It consists of periodic collection of freshwater fish and other samples and the analysis of the concentrations of persistent environmental contaminants in these samples. For the analysis, the common approach has been to apply the mixed two-way ANOVA...

Using fecal glucocorticoids for stress assessment in Mourning Doves Using fecal glucocorticoids for stress assessment in Mourning Doves
Fecal glucocorticoid assays provide a potentially useful, noninvasive means to study physiological responses of wildlife to various stressors. The objective of our study was to validate a method for measuring glucocorticoid metabolites in Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) feces. We validated the assay using standard procedures (e.g., parallelism, recovery of exogenous corticosterone) to...
