Metals in diet of Bering Sea walrus: Mya sp. as a possible transmitter of elevated cadmium and other metals
Elevated levels of cadmium in Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) and northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) have been reported in populations from the Bering Sea (Goldblatt & Anthony, 1983; Taylor et al., 1989). Russian and US authorities are concerned because of the possible health hazards from consuming pinniped meat harvested for subsistence peoples. The effects of cadmium on marine

Species diversity, selectivity, and habitat associations of small mammals from coastal California
Species diversity and habitat associations were documented for small mammals along 16 transects in a semiarid part of coastal California. Peromyscus were the most abundant, comprising 45.3% of all captures, followed by Dipodomys (21.2%), Neotoma (15.1%), and Perognathus (15.0%). Five additional genera made up the remaining captures (3.4%). Peromyscus truei and Perognathus californicus were both co

Lack of association between magnetic patterns and the distribution of free-ranging dolphins
While free-ranging dolphins (Delphinus sp.) have been shown to be associated with bottom topography (depth contours of the sea floor), stranded dolphins have been shown to be associated with magnetic topography. Association with magnetic patterns that may be useful for orientation and navigation by free-ranging dolphins has not been demonstrated. Evaluation of the same 140 locations of free-rangin

Reproductive characteristics of female sea otters
Several important aspects of reproduction in the female sea otter, such as gestation, pupping frequency, period of pup dependency, and annual pupping rate, were unclear when this study was begun. We present data from 75 tagged adult females that indicate gestation is variable, but on average is about 6 months, the length of pup dependency is 6 mo, thus the pupping interval is usually 12–13 mo. Mos
