Cytochrome P450 and contaminant concentrations in nestling black-crowned night-herons and their interrelation with sibling embryos Cytochrome P450 and contaminant concentrations in nestling black-crowned night-herons and their interrelation with sibling embryos

Hepatic cytochrome P450-associated monooxygenase activities were measured in 11-d-old nestling black-crowned night-herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) collected from a reference site (next to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, VA, USA) and three contaminated sites (Cat Island, Green Bay, WI, USA; Bair Island, San Francisco Bay, CA, USA; and West Marin Island, San Francisco Bay, CA, USA)

Survival of adult female northern pintails in the Sacramento Valley, California Survival of adult female northern pintails in the Sacramento Valley, California

North American populations of northern pintails (Anas acuta) declined between 1979 and the early 1990s. To determine if low survival during winter contributed to declines, we estimated winter (last week of Aug-Feb 1987-90) survival for 190 adult (after hatching yr [AHY]) female radio-tagged pintails in late summer in Sacramento Valley (SACV), California. Survival rates did not vary by...
