	Muskrat--BIOLOGICAL AND ECOTOXICOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATE SPECIES RESIDING IN ESTUARIES
		Tapeworm cysts were detected in 27% of muskrats examined from the lower Elizabeth River and 3% from the Upper Elizabeth and Nansemond Rivers.
		Muskrats were collected from the lower section of Virginia’s Elizabeth River, an area with heavily contaminated with metals and PAH’s, in 1987 and 1988 (Halbrook et al., 1993).

	North Fork Salt River Basin - Muskrat
		Although superficially rat like in appearance, the muskrat is not a close relative of the despised house rat.
		This medium-sized mammal has short front legs with small feet, stronger hind legs with large feet, and a vertically flattened, scaly tail which is slightly shorter than the combined length of head and body.
		The construction of thousands of farm ponds throughout the state during the past 40 years has accounted for an appreciable increase in muskrat numbers and distribution.

	Muskrat--BIOLOGICAL AND ECOTOXICOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATE SPECIES RESIDING IN ESTUARIES
		The muskrat is specifically found in fresh and saltwater marshes, ponds, and rivers and prefers to build its lodge or den near slow moving water (McConnell and Powers, 1995).
		Muskrats were studied along the Elizabeth River from July-August, 1986 and May 1987-August 1988 (Halbrook et al., 1993).
		Histological examination revealed multifocal coagulative necrotic lesions on one muskrat from the upper and one from the lower Elizabeth River.

	[No title]
		Prior to impoundment, the Ohio River was a relatively shallow river (the average depth in summer was less than one foot), with numerous islands, gravel bars, channel wetlands (riverine emergent, and riverine aquatic bed), and adjacent overflow sloughs surrounded by bottomland hardwood forests.
		The Ohio River corridor is poised on the boundary between the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways, and is a major migration route for birds.
		The aquatic snails in the upper Ohio River are not as diverse as in the lower 500 miles, and those that remain are impacted by the zebra mussel as well.

	Muddler's memories
		The river at this point had carved a channel through the prairie so that access was down a steep bank to riverside, then along the shore with sort of a canyon wall behind us.
		River Lake is accessible by boat, canoe, or foot depending on your ability to move the former vessels to a launching spot.
		From the rivers entry into River Lake upstream to the foot of Snake Lake there are many small pools and runs, in some cases nice pools caused by what at times long past had been small holding dams for logging.

	Dispatches from Petrie Island (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Sunday morning there was either a muskrat, or one of the minks inhabiting the old lodge, swimming under the ice amongst the bull rushes.
		I was watching two muskrats swimming by the lodge and snacking on its larder, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a slinky catlike face peering over a log on the top of the lodge.
		The river level, while still up a good 6-8 inches, was down enough that one almost did not need rubber boots in some of the areas past the end of the main trail.

	Illinois - Emiquon
		Emiquon, an hour south of Peoria on the Illinois River, is one of the largest floodplain restoration projects in the country outside the Florida Everglades.
		Emiquon once was the jewel of the Illinois River, nurturing diverse and abundant communities of native plants and animals in the complex system of backwater wetlands and lakes.
		Even though it has undergone significant land conversion during the past century, the river was identified by the National Research Council as one of only three large-floodplain river ecosystems in the United States that can be restored to some semblance of its outstanding biological past.

	The Don River RAP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Most of the river’s watershed has been paved over by tract housing and malls, its feeder streams lined with concrete, and its wetlands filled with rubble.
		Instead of percolating slowly through the soil to reach the river cool and clean, rain water gushes directly from lawn and gutter, parking lot and roadway to the sewers and into the Don.
		The rehabilitation of the Don River watershed is just one component of the Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (rap), and the Don Watershed Regeneration Council is just one of more than 20 watershed groups involved in RAP-related activities in the Toronto and Region Area of Concern (aoc).

	Chapter 2: "Beaver, river otter, and muskrat inventoried in Grand Canyon" -- National Park Service, WASO-NRID
		In spring 2000, Grand Canyon wildlife biologists took advantage of a scheduled decrease in the river’s flow to conduct the first furbearer survey along the Colorado River from Lee’s Ferry to Pearce Ferry.
		Nearly 300 beaver dens were recorded, muskrat and otter tracks were identified, and bank vegetation was identified and mapped.
		The resulting data are being compiled for inclusion in a feasibility study for reintroduction of the river otter into Grand Canyon National Park, which the park hopes to complete by 2002.
