Abstract

An outbreak of erysipelas killed an estimated 5,000 aquatic birds on Great Salt Lake (Utah) in late November, 1975. Although several thousand ducks and gulls were using the lake, at least 99 percent of the victims were eared grebes. A hypothetical explanation for the selective mortality is offered.

摘要

1975年11月下旬，一场丹毒疫情致使犹他州大盐湖约5000只水鸟死亡。尽管有数千只鸭子和海鸥栖息在该湖泊，但至少99%的死亡者是角鸊鷉。本文提供了一个关于这种选择性死亡的假设性解释。
