Pleistocene Glaciation on St. George, Pribilof Islands

Science, 1966
A small ice cap (covering about 12 square kilometers) and at least two—probably four—cirque glaciers (each covering less than 1 square kilometer) occurred on St. George Island, Pribilof Islands, probably during the Illinoian Glaciation. Snowbanks persisted during a later cold cycle, probably during the Wisconsin Glaciation, with no glaciers existing ...

Genetic variation in the Aleuts of the Pribilof Islands and the Eskimos of Kodiak Island

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1988
AbstractA sample of Aleuts residing in the Pribilof Islands of St. Paul (N = 163) and St. George (N = 62) and Eskimo residents of Kodiak Island (N = 294) have been typed for genetic variation at 31 discrete genetic markers. Of these, 16 were polymorphic and 15 were monomorphic.

Responses of piscivorous seabirds at the Pribilof Islands to ocean climate

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2008
Climate variability and change are expected to influence the seasonal cycle in North Pacific sub-arctic marine ecosystems. The hypothesis that timing of nesting and productivity of piscivorous seabirds [kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla and Rissa brevirostris) and murres (Uria aalge and Uria lomvia)] at the Pribilof Islands are related to variation in ocean

A Dovekie on the Pribilof Islands, Alaska

The Condor, 1968
Until recently, the only record of the Dovekie (Plautus alle) in Alaska was of one specimen taken in 1935 near Point Barrow (Gabrielson and Lincoln, Birds of Alaska, 1959). In 1965, however, B6dard (Condor 68:503506, 1966) collected one Dovekie and sighted four more among the large concentrations of colonial sea birds on St.

Geomagnetic Polarity Epochs: Pribilof Islands, Alaska

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1966
A comparison was made between geologic, radiometric, and paleomagnetic methods of dating and stratigraphic correlation on the Pribilof Islands of Alaska. Age relationships based on geomorphology and paleontology agree with those determined using potassium-argon dating and paleomagnetic reversals, permitting the following synthesis of the geologic and ...

OCCURRENCE OF POX IN A NORTHERN FUR SEAL ON THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS IN 1951

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1980
The presence of pox in a northern fur seal pup, Callorhinus ursinus, examined at necropsy on the Pribilof Islands, Alaska, 13 September 1951 was confirmed by re-examination of formalin-fixed tissues collected at that time. The disease was characterized by multiple 3 to 8 mm modules in the skin of the nose and flippers.
