Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic oil pollution has not garnered enough attention in the media, government, industry, and the scientific community in the past, given the extent of the problem. [...] The degree of seabird mortality seems to be determined by the timing and location of the oil discharge and the life history strategies of the species affected (Burger 1993b). [...] Seabirds are the most conspicuous marine organisms and therefore have been used for decades as monitors of the health of the marine environment and specifically of the effects of oil pollution (Furness and Camphuysen 1997). [...] In comparison, Germany's and Denmark's rates are stable at around 47 per cent; in the Netherlands the rate has declined from 57 to 38 per cent over the last 20 years; the rate on the west coast of the United States and Canada is below 23 per cent; and the rate on the east coast of the United States was constant at 6.6 per cent between 1975 and 1983 (Burger 1993a, Vaitakus et al. [...] The port state is the country in which the ship is legally registered, and the coastal state is the country whose waters the ship was in when an incident occurred.

Download or read book Voyage of the Iceberg written by Richard Brown and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the most famous iceberg of all time--the iceberg that has gripped the imagination of the world, that humbled human technology and dramatized the wonders and dangers of the North Atlantic Ocean. Author Richard Brown uses the iceberg's story to present the natural history of the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic at the turn of the twentieth century. A rich panoply of birds, whales, bears, seals and other ships cross the path of the iceberg. With an expert's understanding of natural history and an authentic storyteller's voice, Brown weaves these storylines together as the iceberg slowly drifts away from Greenland and down the coast of Labrador to its fateful encounter with the world's most famous ship. With extensive illustrations drawn from volumes of exploration and natural history of the period, this is a beautiful and compelling read. First published in 1983 and championed by publishers worldwide, this reprint of the original edition is accompanied by a brief biographical note on Richard Brown's career as a research scientist working for the Canadian Wildlife Service.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counts of marine birds, made at monthly intervals in 1973-76 at 13 sitesspaced along the Placentia Bay coast in southeastern Newfoundland, revealedpatterns of distribution and numbers through the year. The Cape St. May'sarea received the most use, especially by eiderss and murres in winter andspring, and by the breeding gannets, murres and kittiwakes in summer. TheArgentia area was heavily used by shearwaters in summer and by Dovekies inwinter. Large gulls were more evenly distributed than most species, butconcentrated at Cape St. mayr's in fall and winter. No species wasconcentrated at the intevening observation sites, which received generallylight use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume of Studies in Avian Biology resulted from a Symposium on Avian Disease at the North American Ornithological Conference held in Veracruz, Mexico, in October 2006. The diverse set of topics addressed in the contributed chapters include the evolutionary and ecological aspects of the host-vector systems of avian infectious disease, effects of genetic variation, introduction success and vector ecology, evolution of resistance and virulence of pathogens, and effects of changing geographic distributions. In additional to empirical studies under field conditions, the authors have developed predictive models to assess the movement and potential impact of these diseases. Other chapters delve into the potential impacts of pathogens on ornithological research and the key role of ornithological science in biosurveillance and documenting impacts of disease on bird populations"-- Provided by publisher.
