organochlorine pesticide residues in animals of tasmania, australia-1975-77.	animals taken in tasmania including duck (anas superciliosa), eel (anguilla australis), english perch (perca fluviatilis), white-faced heron (ardea pacifica), brown trout (salmo trutta), european starling (strunus vulgaris), cat (felis cattus), cormorant (phalacrocorax sp.), mutton bird (puffinus tenuirostris), tasmanian devil (sarcophilus harrisii), rainbow trout (salmo gairdnerii), tasmanian raven (corvus mellori), tench (tinca tinca), and quail (coturnix sp.) were sampled for p,p'-dde, pp,p'- ...	1979	537866
using stable isotopes to study resource acquisition and allocation in procellariiform seabirds.	some procellariiform seabirds use a dual strategy for provisioning their chicks by alternating short (st) and long (lt) foraging trips. parent birds gain mass during lt but they lose mass while increasing the chick feeding frequency during st. self-feeding during lt is crucial for the success of st because firstly most of the energy used during st is likely to be derived from the energy stored during lt and secondly self-feeding during st is presumed to be negligible. self-feeding by adult proce ...	2005	16001219
contaminants in indigenous harvests of apex predators: the tasmanian short-tailed shearwater as a case study.	the short-tailed shearwater (puffinus tenuirostris), or muttonbird, migrates between hemispheres and is subject to an annual harvest at its breeding grounds in tasmania. as top predators, these seabirds are exposed to high concentrations of contaminants. concentrations of total polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) and 22 elements were determined in short-tailed shearwater muscle to evaluate the safety of this meat product for human consumption. among muscle samples, 57 per cent exceeded food safety ...	2013	23769126
