The role of development, parental behavior, and nestmate competition in fledging of nestling Tree Swallows
(2000-10)
Fledging (i.e. leaving the nest) in altricial birds is a major step toward independence. The timing of this important event may be influenced by nestling development, parental behavior, and sibling interactions. In this ...
Characteristics of predators and offspring influence nest defense by Arctic and Common Terns
(2000-05)
Nest defense is a critical aspect of parental care that entails both costs and benefits. The purpose of this study was to examine patterns of nest defense in a colony of Arctic and Common Terns (Sterna paradisaea and S, ...
Effect of a low-fat diet on body composition and blubber fatty acids of captive juvenile harp seals (Phoca groenlandica)
(2000-01)
We investigated the effects of a change from a high-fat diet to a low-fat diet of differing
fatty acid (FA) composition on the body composition and blubber FA of five captive juvenile harp
seals. Seals that had been ...

Structural principles and amorphouslike thermal conductivity of Na-doped Si clathrates
(2000-07)
The postulated low thermal conductivity and the possibility of altering the electronic
conductivity of metal-doped clathrates with semiconducting host elements have stimulated great
interest in exploring these compounds ...
Nucleotide sequence of 5S rDNA and localization of the ribosomal RNA genes to metaphase chromosomes of the Tilapiine cichlid fish, Oreochromis niloticus
(2000-10)
In this study, we report the cloning and nucleotide sequence of PCR-generated 5S rDNA from the Tilapiine cichlid fish, Oreochromis niloticus. Two types of 5S rDNA were detected that differed by insertions and/or deletions ...
