Proximity to the smokestacks of metal smelters is positively associated with increased levels of lead in the hair (manes) of horses and in tissues of small mammals, and is consistent with the results of soil and vegetation analyses (USEPA 1972). Lead concentrations were comparatively high in the hair of older or chronically impaired horses (USEPA 1972). However, tissues of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) collected near a zinc smelter did not contain elevated levels of lead (Sileo and Beyer 1985). Among small mammals near a metal smelter, blood ALAD activity was reduced in the white-footed mouse but normal in others, e.g., the short-tailed shrew (Beyer et al. 1985). The interaction effects of lead components in smelter emissions with other components, such as zinc, cadmium, and arsenic, are unresolved (USEPA 1972) and warrant additional research.

The observation that 85% of the fish that exceeded the kepone action level were males led to analysis of the roe of gravid females. It was found that gravid females do indeed transfer a part of their kepone burden to the eggs. This was equally true for shad (ref. 108a, p. 920) and the blue crab (ref. 109). Species other than fish in the James River region also accumulate kepone these include waterfowl, the blue heron, Canadian geese, the osprey, bald eagle, white-footed mouse, etc. 

Phylogenetic screening has been used successfully to isolate retroelements that have been active in recent evolutionary time. In a phi-screen of the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus, the retrovirus-like element mys was identified by virtue of its hybridization to Peromyscus DNA but its lack of hybridization to Mus (the outgroup) DNA.13 In a phi-screen of human DNA using Galago as an outgroup, both the 5 end of the LI element and the retrovirus-like element THE 1 hybridized differentially,... 

In the housefly, the protein carbonyl content rather than chronological age was found to be associated with life expectancy. Exposure of flies to sublethal hy-peroxia (100% oxygen) irreversibly enhanced the carbonyl content of the flies and decreased their rate of oxygen consumption. Results of this study were suggested to indicate that protein carbonyl content may be a biomarker of aging (S40, S52, Y6). The average life-span potential of several insect species is inversely correlated with the level of protein carbonylation (S43). The white-footed mouse (.Peromyscus leucopus) has more than a twice as long a life span as the house mouse (Mus musculus), and tissues of the white-footed mouse also have lower levels of...

The arrow designates the position of the medium septum. At this level, all of the surfaces of the turbinates are covered by chemosensory epithelium, thus, these line drawings represent extent of turbinates and of chemosensory epithelia.
