| fruit production, migrant bird visitation, and seed dispersal of guarea glabra in panama. | the relationship between bird visitation and the size of the available fruit crop was studied at an understory tree (guarea glabra vahl, meliaceae) in the tropical wet forest of barro colorado island, panama canal zone. twelve resident species and seven north american migrant species fed on the bright orange arilloids (seeds with arils), which were not depleted during the normal fruiting period. the number of individual visitors, the number of visiting species, and the number of seeds removed in ... | 1979 | 28309435 |

| heavy metal bioaccumulation in two passerines with differing migration strategies. | various anthropogenic activities have resulted in concentration of heavy metals and contamination of surrounding environments. historically, heavy metal contamination at the savannah river site (srs) in south carolina has resulted from accidental releases of stored waste generated from nuclear weapon production in the early 1950s. songbirds inhabiting and using resources from these areas have the potential to bioaccumulate metals but there is limited information on metal concentration levels in ... | 2017 | 28292671 |
