Seawater consumption and water flux in the common dolphin Delphinus delphis Seawater consumption and water flux in the common dolphin Delphinus delphis
Two captive female common dolphins (59 kg and 55 kg) were given intravenous injections of tritiated water (HTO) and sodium-22 (Na-22) after the first day of a 5-day fast. Blood samples were collected each of the next 4 days. Total body water was 37% of total body weight, and the mean rate of water turnover was 77 ml∙kg⁻¹day⁻¹. This low value for total body water of a mammal is due to the...

Dark CO2-fixation and diurnal malic acid fluctuations in the submerged-aquatic Isoetes storkii Dark CO2-fixation and diurnal malic acid fluctuations in the submerged-aquatic Isoetes storkii
In the leaves (but not corms) of the submerged aquatic Isoetes storkii malic acid concentration fluctuated from 22 μeg g FW-1 in the evening to 171 μeg g FW-1 in the morning. Associated with this was a change in titratable acidity of 152 μeg g FW-1 between morning and evening. 14C carbon was fixed in both the light and the dark, though the amount of carbon fixed in the light was more...

Estimating bird damage from damage incidence in wine grape vineyards Estimating bird damage from damage incidence in wine grape vineyards
Bird damage was measured during 1977 and 1978 at 32 wine grape vineyards in the San Joaquin Valley and North Coastal Region of California. Both the percentage bird loss (PBL) and the percentage of bunches damaged (BDI = bird damage incidence) were determined during 55 total-damage assessments, and the resulting data pairs were used to develop a regression of PBL on BDI. The final...

Spatial variation in transferrin allele frequencies among herds of feral donkeys in Death Valley National Monument, California Spatial variation in transferrin allele frequencies among herds of feral donkeys in Death Valley National Monument, California
Serum proteins were studied to clarify interrelationships of seemingly disjunct herds of feral donkeys (Equus asinus) in the mountains of Death Valley National Monument, California. Sera of 162 donkeys from five localities in the Panamint Mountains were examined by starch-gel electrophoresis to assess polymorphic variation in transferrins. Four homozygous and six heterozygous transferrin

The effect of use limits on backcountry visitation trends in Yosemite National Park The effect of use limits on backcountry visitation trends in Yosemite National Park
Backcountry use in Yosemite National Park increased drastically during the decade starting in the mid 1960s. In 1975, use reached a maximum of nearly 79,000 visitors and 219,000 visitor nights. Since then use has leveled off to about 89 percent of the peak figures for visitors and 84 percent for visitor nights. This leveling off is attributed primarily to a general trend of decreased...
