BIRD

The acute toxicity of chlorinated aromatic compounds to birds is low, as in the case of mammals. They are more sensitive in chronic laboratory feeding studies, showing significant reduction in growth, and reduced reproductive performance, at dietary levels of as low as 10 mg/kg [108, 115]. Reproductive failure is not normally correlated with eggshell thinning. [Pg.109]

Incidents of poisoning in the wild are difficult to interpret, as the body burden of chlorinated compounds consists of a mixture of pesticides, in addition to any PCB present [62]. [Pg.109]

Homing by olfactory cues has been the most researched topic in bird navigation research for many years. Homing pigeons and petrels use airborne cues for orientation under certain conditions. However, many experimental results do not clearly show that odors are the crucial stimuli. [Pg.71]

Many petrels and shearwaters approach their nest burrow, often located under forest cover, at night. When Leach s petrel Occanodroma leucorrhoa) return to their nest, they first hover over the spruce-fir canopy near their burrow. Then they plummet to the ground several meters downwind from their nest site and walk upwind to their burrows (Fig. 4.6). In still air, they landed closer to the burrow and followed a more roundabout route than in wind. With external nares plugged or olfactory nerves transected, displaced birds did not return to their burrows for 1 week. In a laboratory two-choice apparatus, breeding petrels [Pg.71]

FIGURE 4.5 Sea turtle orientation, (a) Bird eye s view of apparatus to test whether sea turtles discriminate sea water samples from different locations. Sea water flows from water inlet toward the standpipe (arrows). The turtle is placed near the standpipe. Phototransistors record when the animals move into different compartments. The water washes of sand come from Padre Island (P) and Galveston (G), and unscented water in two compartments serves as control (C). (b) Turtles spent more time in water extract of sand from Padre Island than in that from Galveston. (From Grassman etal., 1984.) [Pg.72]

During the last 30 years, several laboratories have examined homing pigeons for their ability to use odors for orientation. Early experiments suggested that olfaction is important in orientation homing pigeons with their olfactory nerves cut were generally found to be unable to home from short [Pg.74]

How can a pigeon use olfaction to navigate. The two competing hypotheses are the mosaic map et al., 1972) andthe gmdfettt-miip(Wallraff, 1989) models. In [Pg.75]

Malformations of the eye, coelom, neck, back, wings, and legs were observed in surviving aaolein-treated chicken embryos after whole eggs were injected with greater than 51.0 pg acrolein/kg FW. In other studies, acrolein showed no clear evidence of [Pg.9]

Of all behavioral studies of vertebrates, those of small mammals have shown the widest use of radionuclide tagging. Perhaps this is the result of the relatively small home range of these mammals as well as the interest of population ecologists in interpreting the population dynamics of this group. Gerrard (1969) reported 36 studies that utilized external or subcutaneous radionuclide marking [Pg.72]

The effects of pollution can be direct, such as toxic emissions providing a fatal dose of toxicant to fish, animal life, and even human beings. The effects also can be indirect. Toxic materials which are nonbiodegradable, such as waste from the manufacture of insecticides and pesticides, if released to the environment, are absorbed by bacteria and enter the food chain. These compounds can remain in the environment for long periods of time, slowly being concentrated at each stage in the food chain until ultimately they prove fatal, generally to predators at the top of the food chain such as fish or birds. [Pg.273]

It has been used as a bird repellant and is the parent compound of the anthraquinone vat dyes in which the dyeing is carried out by immersion in the reduced vat solution followed by air oxidation to the original insoluble compound. [Pg.37]

M.p. I08-5 C. Ordinary DDT contains about 15% of the 2,4 -isomer, and is prepared from chloral, chlorobenzene and sulphuric acid. It is non-phytotoxic to most plants. It is a powerful and persistent insecticide, used most effectively to control mosquitoes in countries where malaria is a problem. It is stored in the bodies of animals and birds. [Pg.125]

Incorporation of viscosity variations in non-elastic generalized Newtonian flow models is based on using empirical rheological relationships such as the power law or Carreau equation, described in Chapter 1. In these relationships fluid viscosity is given as a function of shear rate and material parameters. Therefore in the application of finite element schemes to non-Newtonian flow, shear rate at the elemental level should be calculated and used to update the fluid viscosity. The shear rale is defined as the second invariant of the rate of deformation tensor as (Bird et at.., 1977)... [Pg.126]

I undertook the present task to give a birds-eye view of the broad field of palladium in organic synthesis. 1 have tried to accomplish this ttisk by citing many references these were selected from a much larger number which I have collected over the years. I tried to be as comprehensive as possible by selecting those references which reported original ideas and new reactions, or evident synthetic utility. Synthetic utility is clearly biased towards catalytic rather than stoichiometric reactions and this emphasis is apparent in the selection of the... [Pg.559]
