The relationship between regional reproduction rates of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and concentrations of p.p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) and total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in blood plasma from nestling bald eagles was assessed. Blood was analyzed from 309 nestlings from 10 subpopulations of eagles across the Great Lakes region. Geometric mean concentrations ...

Research in Parts-of-Speech (POS) tagset design for European and East Asian languages started with a mere listing of important morphosyntactic features in one language and has matured in later years towards hierarchical tagsets, decomposable tags, common framework for multiple languages (EAGLES) etc. Several tagsets have been developed in these languages along with large amount of annotated dat...

Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are recovering from severe population declines, and are exerting pressure on food resources in some areas. Thousands of bald eagles overwinter near Puget Sound, primarily to feed on chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) carcasses. We used modeling techniques to examine how anticipated climate changes will affect energetic demands of overwintering bald eagles. We...

The ISLE project is a continuation of the long standing EAGLES initiative, carried out under the Human Language Technology (HLT) programme in collaboration between American and European groups in the framework of the EU-US International Research Co-operation, supported by NSF and EC. We concentrate in this paper on the current position of the ISLE Computational Lexicon Working Group. We provide...

Competition among species with similar ecological requirements may preclude species coexistence. However, species with similar requirements may coexist under determinate environmental conditions. Major effort is being dedicated to conserve the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and Bonelli’s eagle (Hieraaetus fasciatus) in Spain, two raptors with similar ecological requirements. This work analyse...

Diagnostic records of 227 bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and 78 golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) collected in Saskatchewan, during 1992 to 2012, were reviewed to identify common causes of mortality. The most frequent cause of death in bald eagles was toxicosis (53%), followed by trauma (22%), electrocution (6%), infectious disease (4%), malnutrition (3%), and idiopathic disease (2%). T...

Despite the bounty resulting in the removal of more than 100,000 Bald Eagles from the Alaskan population during the first half of the twentieth century, Bald Eagles can be considered secure and even at saturation levels in Alaska. This is undoubtedly due to the maintenance of undisturbed, suitable habitat and an abundant food supply. Similarly, much of Canada boasts abundant Bald Eagle populati...

Potential wind-energy development in the eastern Rocky Mountain foothills of British Columbia, Canada, raises concerns due to its overlap with a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) migration corridor. The Dokie 1 Wind Energy Project is the first development in this area and stands as a model for other projects in the area because of regional consistency in topographic orientation and weather patte...
