Pen-reared fulvous tree ducks used in movement studies of wild populations
To obtain movement data on wild fulvous tree ducks (Dendrocygna bicolor) 165 immature pen-reared fulvous tree ducks were color-marked and released in three southeast Texas counties in July October 1969/70.

Wolf numbers in the Superior National Forest of Minnesota
Seventy-seven radio-tagged wolves (Canis lupus), including members of 12 adjacent packs, were located more than 3000 times, and observed on 1337 occasions, from 1968 through mid-1973. Projected population estimates for the 4203 square-mile Forest were 405 plus or minus 20 for winter 1971-72, and 388 plus or minus 14 for winter 1972-73.

These evaporites and their structural positions indicate that other brine areas are present - and, indeed, several others have been discovered.
