Temporal changes in gene frequencies and genotype frequencies,
monthly densities, survival rates, growth rates, trap susceptibility
and home ranges were evaluated from 291 Nuttall's cottontails
(Sylvilagus nuttallii) captured 950 times by livetrapping and 53 cottontails
collected by shooting. Electrophoretic analyses of sera revealed
protein polymorphism at the transferrin locus in...

An attempt was made to differentiate between runs of steelhead by comparing the reassociations of their DNA. Conditions for the reassociation were studied using E. coli DNA, and observations
were made spectrophotometrically. Of the five buffers examined, 1.0 molar sodium perchlorate plus one-hundredth molar tris-HCl, pH 7.1, at 60° or...
American railroads have faced a declining share of freight
traffic relative to other modes. Although a variety of reasons have been
identified for this decline, most experts agree that a contributing problem
is that the rail system is overdeveloped with unprofitable branchlines.
Many economic models have been utilized to analyze...
