The Difference

There has been much speculation regarding whether breeding mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and American black ducks (A. rubripes) use similar habitat types in forested areas, which could lead to increased interspecific contact. To study this issue, we used radiotelemetry during 1990–1991 on sympatric female mallards and black ducks breeding in the western Adirondack Mountains of New York. Mallard and black duck pairs occupied the general area at a density of 0.7 and 0.6/km2, respectively. Black duck home ranges tended to be larger than those of mallards, although the difference was not significant. Habitat composition within the home ranges of mallards and black ducks was similar, upland forest being the dominant habitat type, followed by wetlands, disturbed areas, and active residential sites. Within home ranges, mallards and black ducks were similar in their use of four major wetland habitat types. Our data suggest that undisturbed forest and habitat use within such areas may not serve as an isolating mechanism between breeding mallards and black ducks.

Electron Microanalysis

The Hudson River commercial striped bass (Morone saxatilis) fishery has been closed since 1976 due to high polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination. Accurate forecasting of PCB levels in striped bass has been confounded by high variance in contamination among individuals. We investigated the relationship between habitat use and PCB contamination in Hudson River and Long Island Sound striped bass using electron microanalysis of otolith strontium to generate time series of individual salinity habitation. Males with highly contaminated levels (mean PCB = 8.3 ppm) showed freshwater resident behavior, rarely experiencing salinities >5 ppt. Several individuals showed large habitat shifts. Shifts from brackish or marine habitats to freshwater habitats were often associated with high PCB levels. A third pattern was apparent in large females, where polyhaline/euhaline salinity habitation was associated with lower PCB levels. Total PCB body burden was inversely correlated with mean salinity encountered during the most recent growth season prior to capture. Fish with recent exposure to polyhaline salinities showed high variability in PCB body burdens (0.4-9.0 ppm), suggesting a local source of PCB contamination in the New York Harbor region.
