The acute oral toxicity of 369 pesticidal, pharmaceutical and other chemicals to wild birds.
TLDR
Statistical comparison of redwing, starling and rat data indicated that redwings were more sensitive to chemicals than starlings, and both were moresensitive than rats.About:

Nitroaromatic Munition Compounds: Environmental Effects and Screening Values
Sylvia S. Talmage,Dennis M. Opresko,C. J. Maxwell,C. J. E. Welsh,F. M. Cretella,P. H. Reno,F. B. Daniel +6 more
TL;DR: Comparing the occurrence, transport, transformation, and toxicity of eight nitroaromatic munition compounds and their degradation products indicates that the white-footed mouse may be more resistant to the toxic effects of chemicals than the laboratory rat and may further indicate the lesser sensitivity of wildlife species to chemical insult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dermal absorption potential of industrial chemicals: criteria for skin notation.
TL;DR: A dermal penetration rate (flux), predicted from physical properties of 132 chemicals, is suggested as an index of the dermal absorption potential of industrial chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The acute oral toxicity, repellency, and hazard potential of 998 chemicals to one or more species of wild and domestic birds.
TL;DR: Red winged blackbirds were the most sensitive of the bird species tested on a large number of chemicals, and an index based on redwing toxicity and repellency may provide an appropriate indication of the probability of acute avian poisoning episodes.

Ecotoxicology of chlorpyrifos.
Mace G. Barron,Kent B. Woodburn +1 more
TL;DR: Chlorpyrifos effects in aquatic ecosystems are complex because of the diversity of species assemblages and trophic interactions, and functional endpoints are less sensitive than structural parameters of ecosystems (e.g., community metabolism).

On the Construction of Tables for Moving-Average Interpolation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simple relation that afford great economies both in construction and in presentation of such tables, and define an f-function and a g-function of the corresponding values of ri as follows:

Toxicity of DRC-1339 to Starlings
TL;DR: A recently discovered chemiical, DRC-1339 (3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride), meets many of the requirements; it is highly toxic to starlings, well accepted, relatively nontoxic to rats, and generally less toxic to most other birds.
