[Nhcoll-l] Looking for possible literature on human trash

[Steven Jasinski]

Thanks to everyone for all the help. There were a number of very interesting instances. I am working on a project involving herps using human trash for shelter, and wasn't sure if anything had been published on them before. Otherwise, these other references and instances lend credence to the fact that it seems to happen with various animals at various instances. 


Thanks again,

             ~Steven

Steven:  I can’t think off a tetrapod offhand, but I have seen a lot of pairs of little catfish living in old bottles and cans in the Suwannee River.  I would think the ichthyologists at the Florida Museum of Natural History could tell you the species.

Hi, I know this seems a bit of an odd request on this mailing list, but I've been coming up empty and hoping someone out there has a better chance with any possible knowledge on this subject. I'm looking for any literature on the good use of human trash by animals. I figure there is probably some things out there by marine animals, but I'm looking more for those by terrestrial or freshwater animals, and preferably tetrapods. If no one can come up with anything that will still be ok. I'm sure its been observed before, just not sure if anything has ever been reported.
 
 
Thanks,
 
          ~Steven
