Alpine SteinadlerAquila chrysaetos durch Bleivergiftung gef?hrdet?

In 1990 and 1994, two males of Golden Eagles were found with small lead particles in their stomachs. Both individuals died soon after they had been taken sitting on the soil in bad condition. There are some findings of dead eagles in the same area which showed no sign of having been injured. The two cases of presumed lead poisoning coincide with intense efforts to reduce the number of ChamoixRupicapra rupicapra by hunting. The bullets used contain a nucleus of lead and eagles were seen taking the entrails of the shot chamoix.

Chromosome length values in digenomic buttercups [Ranunculaceae] and the relation to DNA content

Root-tip chromosome complement length ratios were determined in F1 hybrids combinining two haploid (n = 8) genomes each from different species, to form a series AB, AC, AD, ... AI. The observed values, for the length ratios B/A, C/A, etc., ranged from 0.53 to 1.0. It is noted that the values form a quasilinear distribution, with a slope of 1.0, when plotted against the known 4C DNA values of the species having a range from appr. 1.1 to 2.2 × 10^?11 g. Also observed, but not numerically evaluated was some apparently related variation in chromosome “width”. DNA-related variation in root-tip chromosome size in these buttercups may be three-dimensional; however, the magnitude of the observed length differentials and the 1∶1 correlation with DNA content suggest that it occupies predominantly the first dimension.
