| antibodies to brucella in marine mammals around the coast of england and wales. | following the isolation of previously unrecognised species of brucella from stranded seals and cetaceans in scotland and northern england, a serological survey was carried out to investigate the range of marine mammal species which may have been exposed to brucella species around the coasts of england and wales, the prevalence of infection and the temporal and geographical distribution of seropositive animals. serum collected from 153 stranded marine mammals from the coasts of england and wales ... | 1997 | 9416675 |
| uptake of organochlorines (chlorobiphenyls, dieldrin; total pcb & ddt) in bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) from cardigan bay, west wales. | high concentrations of organochlorine compounds (particularly pcb and chlorobiphenyls) have been found in three bottlenose dolphins from the vicinity of new quay in west wales. although few in number, the animals ranged in age from 10 months to 23 years. the occurrence of high contaminant concentrations in all of these animals suggests that a high level of uptake of these compounds occurs in food after weaning as well as by transfer from mother to calf. in order to investigate this further we ha ... | 1995 | 7889346 |
| acoustic detection probability of bottlenose dolphins, tursiops truncatus, with static acoustic dataloggers in cardigan bay, wales. | acoustic dataloggers are used for monitoring the occurrence of cetaceans and can aid in fulfilling statutory monitoring requirements of protected species. although useful for long-term monitoring, their spatial coverage is restricted, and for many devices the effective detection distance is not specified. a generalized additive mixed model (gamm) was used to investigate the effects of (1) distance from datalogger, (2) animal behavior (feeding and traveling), and (3) group size on the detection p ... | 2013 | 23968057 |
