In this study, we used a combination of conventional statistical analyses and mechanistic bioenergetics models to understand the potential effects of environmental variability on growth of stream-living fishes in four headwater streams subject to upstream forest harvest. We focused on two common fish consumers in headwater streams in the Pacific...
The first area of investigation involves the electron transport
of sub-mitochondrial particles and their components. The second
area is the synthesis of ATP and other energy linked reactions and
components of the energy conservation and transfer apparatus.
Investigations on the nature of the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine
(TMPD) shunt indicated that tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ)...
Studies on elemental and energy transfer in lower trophic levels in
the marine environment were initiated in July 1962 after receipt of AEC
contract AT(45-1)1751. It should be pointed out that this report covers
only a six-month period, because for bookkeeping purposes the contract
was made retroactive to 1 April...
This review concentrates on 10 recent publications dealing with various aspects of radiation exchange in forest vegetation. The articles are discussed with respect to the following categories: definitions,
instrumentation, the modification of radiation by vegetation, and radiation budgets. The papers reviewed have appeared for the most part during the period...
Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...
