Endocrine function and reproductive impairment in an irradiated population of the lizard Uta stansburiana Endocrine function and reproductive impairment in an irradiated population of the lizard Uta stansburiana
This study describes gonadal changes in lizards (Uta stansburiana) exposed to chronic low levels of γ radiation (1.5-10 R/day) under field conditions and attempts to evaluate endocrine involvement in these changes. Reproductive impairment in irradiated males is demonstrated during the breeding season by reduced testes weights and by seminiferous tubules devoid of germ cells...

Aleuts, sea otters, and alternate stable state communities Aleuts, sea otters, and alternate stable state communities
Reexamination of stratified faunal components of a prehistoric Aleut midden excavated on Amchitka Island, Alaska, indicates that Aleut prey items changed dramatically during 2500 years of aboriginal occupation. Recent ecological studies in the Aleutian Islands have shown the concurrent existence of two alternate stable nearshore communities, one dominated by macroalgae, the other by...

Malic acid accumulation in roots in response to flooding: Evidence contrary to its role as an alternative to ethanol Malic acid accumulation in roots in response to flooding: Evidence contrary to its role as an alternative to ethanol
Across a time course of flooding the malic acid content in roots of the swamp tree Nyssa sylvatica var. biflora increased 5-fold from 1 week to 1 month of flooding and remained at that level through a full year of flooding. Alcoholic fermentation rates accelerated within the first month of flooding but dropped to very low levels under long-term flooding. The theory that, under flooding...
