To extrapolate the effects of chloroform exposure in humans, we used the chloroform mouse and the human PBPK models (Corley et al., 1990) to estimate hepatotoxic exposures in humans based on the results of the animal experiments presented here.
Grebes are water-dwelling diving birds with thick, waterproof plumage. They eat fish, aquatic insects, and other small water creatures, and they also eat their own feathers. Grebes are known for their ornate courtship displays, which are among the most elaborate displays of any bird group.
There are many different kinds of water birds, each with adaptations for swimming through the water. Ducks, geese, and pelicans have webbing between their toes. Other water birds, like grebes have flattened, lobed toes that help with diving and swimming. In this experiment you will use swim fins to make three sets of bird feet: one from a non-swimmer, one from a grebe, and one from a duck.
