| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the College of William and Mary to "determine the extent of pesticide exposure in nesting bluebirds and to determine if these insect-eating songbirds are able to obtain sufficient food on golf courses treated with insecticides." Reports that "lab analyses found no evidence of enzyme inhibition in golf course nestlings, suggesting they had not been exposed to enough pesticide to detect any direct effects." Concludes that "nesting bluebirds on golf courses tend to weigh less than reference birds, potentially affecting post-fledging survivorship." |
