REHABILITATING OILED AQUATIC BIRDS
International Oil Spill Conference Proceedings, 1975ABSTRACT In the 1971 San Francisco oil spill, $900.00 was spent per successfully released bird, with 95% of the 4,686 treated birds dying in captivity. Through continuing research and development, those figures are improving. In 1973, the International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) treated 523 oiled birds with a 41% survival rate ...

Impact of cadmium on aquatic bird Cairina moschata
BioMetals, 2009The impact on palmiped Cairina moschata of two levels of dietary cadmium (Cd) contamination (C1: 1 mg kg(-1) and C10: 10 mg kg(-1)) was investigated on liver gene expression by real-time PCR. Genes involved in mitochondrial metabolism, in antioxidant defences, detoxification and in DNA damage repair were studied. Metallothionein (MT) protein levels and

Impacts of acid rainon aquatic birds
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1989Studies of toxicological and ecological effects of acidification on aquatic birds in Europe and North America are reviewed. Heavy metals are deposited by acid emissions, which also increase solubility and mobility of heavy metals in soil and water.

Influenza virus subtypes in aquatic birds of eastern Germany
Archives of Virology, 1994We report the findings of a 12-year surveillance study (1977-89) of avian influenza A viruses in eastern Germany. Viruses were isolated directly from feral ducks (n = 236) and other wild birds (n = 89); from domestic ducks (n = 735) living on a single farm; and from white Pekin ducks (n = 193) used as sentinels for populations of wild aquatic birds ...

Avian schistosomes in French aquatic birds: a molecular approach
Journal of Helminthology, 2009AbstractThe prevalence of human cercarial dermatitis (HCD) caused by bird schistosomes appears to be increasing in France, in light of the impact of tourism combined with high densities of wild aquatic hosts in freshwater areas. The present work expands our knowledge of schistosome systematics by including samples of bird schistosomes collected from ...

Using UAVs to Map Aquatic Bird Colonies
2017In this chapter, we present the results of several flight campaigns carried out in 2015 and 2016 using multirotor Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs) over Slender-billed Gull (Chroicocephalus genei) colonies in the Donana Nature Space, south west Spain. The images were taken at different times during the breeding season.

Can aquatic flightless birds allocate Automotive Safety requirements?
2015 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Information Systems (ICICIS), 2015Many emerging safety standards use the concept of Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) for guiding designers on how to specify system safety requirements and then allocate these requirements to elements of the system architecture. These standards include the new automotive safety standard ISO 26262 in which SILs are called automotive SILs (or ASILs) and ...

Anthropogenic debris and pathology in aquatic birds
2017Plastics in marine and freshwater environments area global environmental issue. Plastic ingestion is associated with a variety of deleterious health effects for wildlife, and is a focus of much international research and monitoring. However, little research has focused on the ramifications of plastic debris for freshwater organisms.
