Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in metallic elements in industrialized aquatic bird habitat
This study examined the potential for exposure of migratory aquatic birds to contaminants in highly industrialized habitats at Baltimore Harbor, Maryland. Seven nearshore, benthic sites were sampled every 3 or 6 months from June 1987 to December 1988. Twenty metallic elements were measured in composites (i.e. annelids, amphipods, and isopods were pooled), clams, and sediments. Elevated concentrati

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

Environmental contaminants in canvasbacks wintering on San Francisco Bay, California
The concentrations of 11 trace elements, 21 organochlorines, 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and 13 aliphatic hydrocarbons were determined in canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) wintering on San Francisco Bay, California during 1988. With the exception of Se, concentrations of potentially toxic elements were low. Similarly, concentrations of most organic compounds were near or below detection li

Effects of dietary aluminum, calcium, and phosphorus on egg and bone of European starlings
Egg and bone of passerine birds nesting in acidified habitats may be affected by high levels of Al or P, or low levels of Ca. Nine treatments of three levels of dietary Al (target levels of 200, 1,000, and 5,000 μg/g) and three levels of Ca:P (target levels of NN = 1.3% Ca: 0.9% P; LL = 0.19 Ca:0.45 P; LH = 0.19 Ca: 1.65 P) were fed to 16–17 starling pairs during two breeding seasons. Eggs of star

Effects of experimental overgrowth on survival and change in the turf assemblage of a giant kelp forest
Crustose coralline algae were the prevalent cover among sessile organisms that paved or grew near the substratum, and also the most commonly overgrown species in a giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C.A. Agardh forest located off San Nicolas Island, California. Giant kelp was the largest and most conspicuous species that overgrew large patches of the substrata; overgrowth among turf organisms al
