We hypothesized that changes in southeastern Bering Sea foraging conditions for black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla)
have caused shifts in habitat use with direct implications for population trends. To test this, we compared at-sea
distribution, breeding performance, and nutritional stress of kittiwakes in three years (2008–2010) at two sites in the...

The purpose of this study was to obtain information about clothing acquisition practices of low-income mothers. An interview questionnaire was designed to obtain information about the clothing sources perceived as available to these women, the sources of clothing used, the sources of information used, the preplanning practices used, and demographic...
A preliminary study was conducted to establish baseline data for emu artificial egg incubation and emu chick growth and management. Three experiments examined factors affecting hatchability of emu eggs that occur prior to and during artificial incubation. Characteristics analyzed were egg storage duration, hen age, egg weight, egg index, shell...
