Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
http://www.npwrc.org/

This well-known site at Northern Prairie has updated two databases and
added two publication/abstract links: 1) Butterflies of North America,
formerly Butterflies of the United States, now includes information for
Delaware, Maryland, and northern Mexico. In addition, species accounts for
two more families, Skippers and Brush-footed butterflies, have been added.
2) Sources of Information on Plant Selection and Plant Propagation have
been added to the Frequently Asked Questions section. 3) A Review of the
Problem of Lead Poisoning in Waterfowl examines the effects of lead
toxicosis in waterfowl caused by ingestion of lead shot and compares the
effectiveness of steel as an alternative shot material. 4) Research
biologists and electronics experts from around the world met in Snowmass
Village, Colorado, on 21-23 September 1997 to discuss recent technological
developments for tracking and monitoring wildlife. Abstracts of
presentations at the Forum on Wildlife Telemetry provide information on new
telemetry techniques and field evaluations of telemetry equipment and
techniques for a wide variety of animals. [DF]
