localisation and characterisation of egg shell porphyrins in several avian species. | 1. electron microscopy, infra-red analysis and histochemical techniques have been used to determine the site of pigment deposition, the cellular localisation of pigment and the type of pigment precipitated in the egg shells of quail, white leghorn, brown ranger and black-headed gull. 2. transfer of pigment occurs via the surface epithelial cells of the shell gland. 3. porphyrins are probably synthesised in the blood. 4. possible pigment deposition mechanisms are discussed. | 1975 | 1139348 |

mucopolysaccharide histochemistry of the avian tongue. histochemical features of the lingual glands in larus ridibundus (l). | from the histochemical analysis carried out on the tongue of larus ridibundus (l.), it has been possible to establish that it is covered by thick stratum corneum on the dorsal surface and shows both in the anterior and posterior portions lingual glands, which histologically consist of aggregates of branched tubules. these glands exhibit identical histochemical reactions which show the presence of neutral mucopolysaccharides, sulfated and unsulfated acid mucosubstances and hyaluronidase-resistant ... | 1977 | 145782 |
agonistic display and spacing in the black-headed gull, larus ridibundus. | black-headed gulls nesting on islands in a marsh habitat had a higher breeding success than those nesting on the periphery of the colony. island birds maintained close inter-nest distances whereas peripheral nests were spaced further apart as predation of eggs increased. these changes in spacing corresponded with changes in the response distances of agonistic displays. there was no change during incubation for island birds but peripheral birds displayed to intruders at much greater distances tha ... | 1977 | 562633 |

radionuclides and the birds at ravenglass. | since 1983, concern has been expressed about the apparent decline in numbers of birds in the ravenglass estuary in west cumbria, particularly of the black-headed gull colony on the drigg dunes, and suggestions have been made that this decline might be due to excessive radiation in the birds' food and their general environment. twelve species of marine invertebrates from ravenglass, most of them known to be important foods for birds, were analysed, and further samples were taken from sites along ... | 1991 | 15092143 |

the value of chick feathers to assess spatial and interspecific variation in the mercury contamination of seabirds. | in 1991 we compared eggs, down and body feathers of chicks of common terns, herring gulls and black-headed gulls in their utility to assess contamination with mercury. like eggs feathers distinctly show interspecific and intersite differences in contamination. highest levels were found in common terns, lowest in black-headed gulls. chicks hatched at the elbe had much higher mercury levels than those in other areas of the german north sea coast. conversion ratios between tissues have to be used w ... | 1993 | 24221187 |
china's war on waste and pollution. | the water level of one of the longest rivers in the world, the yangtze in china, fell 20 cm below sea level in february 1993 at shashi in hubei province, the lowest water level in 20 years. in 1993, black-headed gulls left for their annual migration 3 months early because the deteriorating water environment in dianchi lake in kunming, yunnan province, could not support them. china's total surface run-off is among the world's top 5. yet it suffers a water deficit due to its large population size ... | 1993 | 12287012 |
the estimation of age-specific breeding probabilities from recaptures or resightings in vertebrate populations: ii. longitudinal models. | we provide a statistical framework to estimate age-specific breeding probabilities in vertebrate populations, from recaptures or resightings of individuals marked as young. we consider data collected at one or possibly several points over time, when individual recapture histories are known, leading to models which we call longitudinal models. an example of resightings of black-headed gulls, larus ridibundus, is considered. | 1994 | 8068838 |
