Three studies were conducted to evaluate the relationship between
insulin and nutritional parameters in rainbow trout. In the first study
effects on growth parameters and tissue composition of rainbow trout were
investigated following injection of bovine insulin at two dose levels
every 48 hr for 56 days. In addition, [¹⁴C]-leucine...
Interception of precipitation by forest canopies has been found previously to reduce rainfall intensity, but this effect is poorly understood. The goal of this research is to quantify the attenuation of rainfall intensity by forest canopy interception, with the specific objective of estimating the contribution of this attenuation to hillslope...
