Patch Dynamics of a Phytophagous Mite Population Effect of Number of Subpopulations
(1991)
I conducted a field test of the hypothesis that the dynamics of a predator-prey interaction should be affected by the number of interacting subpopulations within an assemblage. I used a "successful" biological control ...
Tidal and turbidity effects on the shallow-water fish assemblage of Kuwait Bay
(1990)
Effects of location, diel period, tidal condition and water clarity on the size and distribution of the shallow water fish assemblage of the non-estuarine Kuwait Bay, were investigated using a beach seine and a small ...
Intense, Natural Pollution Affects Arctic Tundra Vegetation at the Smoking Hills, Canada
(1990-04)
No abstract available.
Influence of Hypoxia and Adrenaline Administration on Coronary Blood-Flow and Cardiac-Performance in Seawater Rainbow-Trout (Oncorhynchus-Mykiss)
(1994-08)
To investigate the relationship between cardiac performance and coronary perfusion, cardiovascular variables (Q, Vs, fH, PDA) and coronary blood flow (q(cor)) were measured in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (1.2-1.6 ...
The burrow microhabitat of the land crab Cardisoma guanhumi: Respiratory/ionic conditions and physiological responses of crabs to hypercapnia
(1993)
Cardisoma guanhumi in Puerto Rico spend much of the dry season in burrows that descend to groundwater. Burrows are sometimes 3-4 m deep and may be capped with dried mud for over 3 mo. Samples of gas and water from burrows ...
Oxygen transport in egg masses of the amphibians Rana sylvatica and Ambystoma maculatum: Convection, diffusion and oxygen production by algae
(1994)
Many amphibians lay their eggs in gelatinous masses up to 10-20 cm in diameter, posing problems for diffusive oxygen delivery. Oxygen may also be provided by water convection between eggs or by oxygen production by endogenous ...
Effect of Boundary Layers on Cutaneous Gas Exchange
(1990)
Boundary layers may offer significant resistance to cutaneous oxygen uptake by amphibians in water. This hypothesis was tested by measuring resistance to oxygen uptake as a function of water velocity in bullfrogs submerged ...
The respiratory development of Atlantic salmon .1. Morphometry of gills, yolk sac and body surface
(1996-12)
During development from larva to juvenile in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, there is a change in the anatomical potential for gas exchange among gills, body skin and yolk sac as the larvae resorb yolk, grow and develop ...
The respiratory development of Atlantic salmon: II. Partitioning of oxygen uptake among gills, yolk sac and body surfaces
(1996)
During post-hatch development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), O-2 uptake partitioning changes from primarily cutaneous to primarily branchial. Over 80% of post-hatch O-2 uptake was cutaneous, with the yolk sac responsible ...
