To better understand the role of tensegrity structures in biological systems and their application to robotics, the Dynamic Tensegrity Robotics Lab at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA, USA, has developed and validated two software environments for the analysis, simulation and design of tensegrity robots. These tools, along with...
Although most eastern North Pacific (ENP) gray whales feed in the Bering, Beaufort,
and Chukchi Seas during summer and fall, a small number of individuals,
referred to as the Pacific Coast Feeding Group (PCFG), show intra- and interseasonal
fidelity to feeding areas from northern California through southeastern Alaska. We
used...

In a previous article, Beschta et al. (Environ
Manag 51(2):474–491, 2013) argue that grazing by large
ungulates (both native and domestic) should be eliminated
or greatly reduced on western public lands to reduce
potential climate change impacts. The authors did not
present a balanced synthesis of the scientific literature, and...
