Three levels of dietary crude protein (8.6, 11.4, and 17.2) were
fed to 24 pony mares to determine the effects on the estrous cycle,
conception rate, and serum progesterone concentrations. Mares were allotted into three treatment groups designated as low protein (LP),
medium protein (MP), and high protein (HP). Following...
During October 2000 the Po River, Italy's largest river, experienced a historically significant flood, producing a deposit on the adjacent prodelta. In December 2000 an event-response study of the deposit was conducted, and during the ensuing 16 months three additional sampling cruises were conducted to study the subsequent evolution of...
Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is an ecologically significant species that plays a critical role channeling energy throughout the Arctic marine food web. Arctic cod is uniquely adapted to occupy ice edge habitats, however, a basic understanding of its larval physiology and habitat requirements is lacking due to widespread sea ice...

for polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids Urchins were
collected at Yaquina Head, Oregon at regular intervals between

Mental health among student athletes has gotten much more attention in the world of sport today. However, there has been a lack of research focusing on how the socioeconomic backgrounds of Division 1 student athletes can play a role in their mental health and their desire to seek out help...
This study was designed to determine cardiorespiratory and energy expenditure responses elicited by recreational divers while finning at a submaximal intensity (35% max) in cold (18°C) and warm (29°C) water with and without wet suits. Male divers (15) volunteered to participate in five experimental procedures. A maximal graded exercise tethered...
Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire...
