Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author delves into the detrimental effects of lead shot ingestion on waterfowl and the search for nontoxic alternatives. Since the 1950s, the author meticulously evaluates various proposed substitute shot materials. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing effort to mitigate lead poisoning in waterfowl. It provides a comprehensive analysis of substitute shot types and their potential impact on duck populations. The study's methodology, which involved controlled toxicity tests with pen-reared mallards, ensures the reliability of the findings. The results highlight the challenges in developing a suitable lead substitute that effectively prevents lead poisoning while maintaining ballistic properties similar to traditional lead shot. It sheds light on the factors influencing shot erosion and retention, including the presence and type of grit in the gizzard. The book also explores the differential susceptibility of various waterfowl species and age groups to lead poisoning, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of lead exposure in the wild. The findings emphasize the importance of considering species-specific vulnerabilities when implementing lead poisoning mitigation strategies. By combining scientific rigor with practical implications, this book significantly advances our understanding of lead poisoning in waterfowl and offers valuable guidance for future research and conservation efforts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780260970633_0
