Developmental toxicity to TCDD-like congeners in fish, birds, and mammals, and
reproductive toxicity in mammals are reviewed. In fish and bird species, the developmental …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and
polychlori nated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are structurally related families of persistent organic …

Dioxin-like compounds are toxic to most vertebrates, but significant differences in sensitivity
exist among species. A recent study suggests that the amino acid residues corresponding to …

Birds differ in sensitivity to the embryotoxic effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
which complicates environmental risk assessments for these chemicals. Recent research …

Fertilized eggs of ring‐necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were injected into the
albumin or yolk with vehicle or graded doses of 2, 3, 7, 8‐tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin …

The detection and interpretation of contaminants in tissues of wildlife belongs to the field of
tox icology, a scientific discipline with a long, intriguing, and illustrious history (reviewed by …

House wren (Troglodytes aedon), tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), and eastern bluebird
(Sialia sialis) tissues collected in study areas (SAs) downstream of Midland, Michigan (USA) …

A well-established principle of developmental biology is that ontogeny recapitulates
phylogeny. The embryo/fetus of all vertebrate species undergoes a morphologic transition …

Eggs, nestlings, and adults of the eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) and house wren
(Troglodytes aedon) were collected at a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)‐contaminated site …

ABSTRACT A site-specific multiple lines of evidence risk assessment was conducted for
house wrens (Troglodytes aedon) and eastern bluebirds (Sialia sialis) along the …
