DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2017.05.035
Abstract: Abstract Flame retardants (FR) are industrial chemicals and some are proven environmental contaminants that accumulate in predatory birds. Few studies have examined the influence of diet on FR profiles in nestling raptors and the possible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2017.04.051
Abstract: Sperm morphometry is one characteristic which may be useful in prediction of fertility and sperm freezability in a species. Knowledge of the sperm characteristics of the ejaculate and the morphometric descriptors is necessary to effectively… read more here.

DOI: 10.3398/064.077.0105
Abstract: Abstract. Peregrine Falcon numbers in much of the Intermountain West rebounded after a decline during the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. However, recent literature regarding the species suggested that little, if any, growth was occurring… read more here.
