Hand‐rearing the Eastern or Great white pelican Pelecanus onocrotalus at Vogelpark Avifauna, Alphen
International Zoo Yearbook, 1998The Eastern or Great white pelican Pelecanus onocrotalus is rarely bred in captivity and eggs are often infertile, or are broken or disappear during nesting.

Utah’s Great Salt Lake (GSL) is so saline that the only invertebrates that survive in the open water are brine fly larvae and brine shrimp. In the absence of competition from other invertebrates, they are incredibly abundant. Only a few avian species can take advantage of their abundance because a bird cannot eat them without also ingesting salt ...

AbstractIn January 2004, Lake St Lucia, a major part of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, was reduced to a fraction of its normal capacity as a result of a severe drought in this region of KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa. After rains in the area, the lake level rose and then fluctuated considerably over the next 42 months.
