Environmental trends among Neogene benthic foraminifers at Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 548, Irish continental margin

An analysis of diversity and abundance trends among all benthic foraminiferal genera and species, and particularly among species of Bolivina, was carried out for 59 samples of Neogene sediment from DSDP-IPOD Site 548, Goban Spur. By correlating these census data with lithological, geophysical, geochemical, and other faunal and floral measurements in the same stratigraphic interval, a record of irr

Biostratigraphy, paleoenvironmental, and paleomagnetic synthesis of the Goban Spur region, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 80

A composite stratigraphic section based on the four DSDP-IPOD Leg 80 drill sites provides a nearly complete record of syn-rift and post-rift events in the vicinity of Goban Spur. Syn-rift sediments were deposited in marginal marine to outer shelf environments. Above the "breakup" unconformity (hiatus spanning most of the Aptian), post-rift Albian sediments indicate the development of a deep-water

Organochlorine concentrations, whole body weights, and lipid content of black skimmers wintering in Mexico and in south Texas, 1983

Since 1978, a large proportion of the black skimmers (Rynchops niger) nesting along the Texas coast have had high concentrations of DDE in their eggs. Of 284 eggs collected from 5 sites during 1978-81, 99.5% contained detectable (> 0.i0 ppm) w levels of DDE, ranging up to 86 ppm wet-weight; 36% of the eggs contained > i0 ppm DDE (White et al., 1984). During the 4-year period, geometric mean concen

Organochlorine chemical residues in white pelicans and western grebes from the Klamath Basin, California

Samples were analyzed for 12 organochlorine chemicals. Concentrations of DDT + DDD and dieldrin in American white pelican(Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) eggs collected at the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges decreased from 1969 to 1981; DDE and polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) residues did not significantly change. Differences between PCB residues in eggs collected from Lower Klamath and Clear Lake col
