Baylisascaris procyonis Prevalence and Impact in Raccoon (Procyon lotor) Populations
… parasite that infects the small intestines of raccoons (Procyon lotor). Raccoons are the definitive host for this parasite, which can have both an indirect and direct life cycle. In intermediate hosts, the parasite causes serious pathology resulting from larvae migrating through host tissue to …

Development of Techniques for Distribution of Baits To Raccoon for Chemosterilant Studies
… tested as physiological markers in baits for raccoon (Procyon lotor). DMCT was readily detected in the jawbone of raccoons given 50 mg when examined under an ultraviolet light at period of 7, 30, 75, and 450 days following treatment. Seven days after administering 75 mg of Sudan Red IV, it …

Cascading Effects Of Predator Removal On The Ecology Of Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches
… I examined the direct and indirect effects of raccoon removal from sea turtle nesting beaches in east-central Florida during the summers of 2003 and 2004. Raccoon and ghost crab predation are among the highest causes of egg mortality for sea turtles in Florida and raccoons are intraguild …

Impacts of Vegetation Density and Distance from the High Tide Line on Raccoon Predation of Diamondback Terrapin Nests in Jamaica Bay, NY – A preliminary study
… on predation of diamondback terrapin nests by raccoons. For that, terrapin scented water was used to construct 50 artificial nests at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. These artificial nests were placed in areas differing in vegetation coverage and distance from the high tide line, and monitored for …
