Grouse

It is normally found in Scotland, Wales, Northern England, and Ireland. The natural reservoirs are sheep, deer, and ticks. Ticks remain infective for life. Sheep, red grouse, and ptarmigans may act as amplifying hosts. This is a biosafety level 3 agent. [Pg.553]

Waterfowl feeding in areas subjected to extensive nickel pollution — such as smelters and nickel-cadmium battery plants — are at special risk because waterfowl food plants in those areas contain 500 to 690 mg Ni/kg DW (Eastin and O Shea 1981). Dietary items of the ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) near Sudbury, Ontario, had 32 to 95 mg Ni/kg DW, whereas nickel concentrations in grouse body tissues usually contain less than 10% of the dietary level. Nickel concentrations in aspen (Populus tremula) from the crop of ruffed grouse near Sudbury ranged from 62 mg/kg DW in May to 136 mg/kg DW in September (Chau and Kulikovsky-Cordeiro 1995), which shows the role of season in dietary nickel composition.

It has been suggested that metabolites resulting from detoxification of plant compounds such as ferulic acid, a detoxification by-product of coniferyl benzoate and analogous compounds, may interfere with reproduction. However, experiments have shown that coniferyl benzoate in the diet of Japanese quail [Coturnix coturnix) had no hormonal effects. Rather, costs of detoxication and reduced nutrient utilization deter wild birds such as ruffed grouse, Bonasa umbel-lus, from feeding (Jakubas etal, 1993). [Pg.287]

Female flowers of dioecious trees are better defended than males. RuflFed grouse, Bonasa umbellus, prefer male flowers of quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides, in winter, and leaves of male specimens in summer (Svoboda and Gullion 1972). Ruffed grouse also feed more on male trees of balsam poplar (Bryant etal, 1991). [Pg.301]

Ruffed grouse, B. umhellus, feed on staminate flower buds and extended catkins of trembling aspen, P. tremuloides. In winter these birds select specific trees or clones. Analysis for alkaloids, tannins, and other phenolics showed that feeding preferences were not related to the levels of tannin or total phenolics in... [Pg.304]
