The role of observer bias in the North American Breeding Bird Survey
Ornithologists sampling breeding bird populations are subject to a number of biases in bird recognition and identification. Using Breeding Bird Survey data, these biases are examined qualitatively and quantitatively, and their effects on counts are evaluated. Differences in hearing ability and degree of expertise are the major observer biases considered. Other, more subtle influences are also di

Vulnerability of young lake trout to predation after chronic exposure to PCB's and DDE
The vulnerability of fry of Lake Michigan lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) to predation by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was tested after the fry had been exposed to PCB's, DDE, and a combination of these contaminants in both water and food at concentrations corresponding to ambient levels (1X) in water and plankton in Lake Michigan and at levels 5 and 25 times higher. Vulnerability of the fry,

Bibliography: Solar stimulated luminescence and related topics
The purpose of the Workshop on Luminescence Techniques was threefold: (1) to review the state-of-the-art capabilities of luminescence methods, (2) to consider a variety of concepts for the development of future luminescence sensor systems, and (3) to discuss appropriate research and development strategies for advancing the current state-of-the-art.

Basin development along the Late Mesozoic and Cainozoic California Margin: A plate tectonic margin of subduction, oblique subduction and transform tectonics
Along the Californian margin of the North American plate, the configuration and structural stability of late Mesozoic and Cainozoic basins are related to plate kinematics. Three tectonic regimes are recorded; orthogonal high-angle subduction, oblique low-angle subduction, and transform slip. During the first, regionally extensive forearc basins developed; during the second and third, borderland se
