Scavenging rates of invertebrates in an eastern deciduous forest Scavenging rates of invertebrates in an eastern deciduous forest
Rates at which scavengers located three types of dead insects were measured. All dead insects were taken by ants with a median time of 3.75 min (range 0.33-36 min). This gives strong indirect evidence that such food is in short supply.

Evaluation of the river die-away biodegradation test Evaluation of the river die-away biodegradation test
The reliability of the river die-away (RDA) test for establishing the biodegradability of chemicals was assessed. Reproducibility of biodegradation in the RDA test was analyzed under conditions in which the test is commonly done. Biodegradation results were not reproducible for di-2-ethylexyl phthalate (DEHP) and phthalic acid in replicated RDA tests using Missouri River water. Chemical...

Status and distribution of ants in the Crater District of Haleakala National Park Status and distribution of ants in the Crater District of Haleakala National Park
The Crater District of Haleakala National Park was surveyed for ants. Three species were found. Argentine ants (Iridomyrmex humilis) occurred only within I km of the park headquarters and the nearby research facility. Hypoponera opaciceps was found in small numbers throughout the Crater District. Cardiocondyla emeryi was present only at the head of Kaupo Gap. Possible impacts of these...

The nomenclatural enigma of single versus double -i endings for scientific patronyms emended to represent a man's name: A comment and some considerations The nomenclatural enigma of single versus double -i endings for scientific patronyms emended to represent a man's name: A comment and some considerations
The current inconsistency over the use of single vs. double -i endings for singular masculine scientific patronyms in official lists of scientific names of fishes causes needless confusion and labor. Taxonomists once preferred rules for Latinization calling for double -i endings, but current rules suggest single -i endings. Recent rulings by the International Commission of Zoological...
