Objectives:
(1) Determine the availability of 1xbet online games login on the upper Texas Gulf Coast.
(2) Estimate the exposure of 1xbet online games login by mottled ducks.
(3) Evaluate pathways of 1xbet online games login exposure for waterbirds of the upper Texas Gulf Coast.
Progress and Results:
The mottled duck is a non-migratory waterfowl species that depends on the marshes along the Gulf of Mexico. Since the mid-1980s the Texas breeding pair populations have declined, where current population estimates hover around 17,000 individuals. Though use of 1xbet online games login shot was banned nationwide for migratory waterfowl hunting in 1991, recent studies show mottled ducks continue to have elevated wing bone 1xbet online games login concentrations. Such data indicate that mottled ducks continue to be exposed to 1xbet online games login somewhere during the annual cycle. I am estimating blood 1xbet online games login concentrations within local, hatch-year, and adult mottled ducks to isolate when mottled ducks are initially exposed to 1xbet online games login . I am also estimating spent 1xbet online games login shot availability and distribution, as well as soil 1xbet online games login concentrations on the Complex to determine potential pathways by which mottled ducks obtain 1xbet online games login . Such research is important to evaluate long term effects on mottled duck populations and as possible influences on important vital rates, such as survival and fecundity.
