Travel time variation on backcountry trails Travel time variation on backcountry trails
Numerous interrelated factors influence the travel times of hikers and riders on backcountry trails. This study sought to quantify those factors which were thought to be most important in affecting trail speeds. The travel times of 897 backpacking parties, 634 day hiking parties, and 111 riding parties were obtained from gentle (0.75%), moderate (5.0%), and steep (12.5%) trail segments...

Undersea topography and distribution of dolphins of the genus Delphinus in the Southern California Bight Undersea topography and distribution of dolphins of the genus Delphinus in the Southern California Bight
Aerial surveys totalling 21,902 km were analyzed in the Southern California Bight. Although the genus Delphinus is easily recognizable from aircraft, the different species are not detectable in these flights. Delphinus occur more frequently in areas of high relief than in areas of low relief. The depth of the water does not appear to influence distribution of Delphinus. The availability...

Alcoholic fermentation in swamp and upland populations of Nyssa sylvatica: Temporal changes in adaptive strategy Alcoholic fermentation in swamp and upland populations of Nyssa sylvatica: Temporal changes in adaptive strategy
Both the upland and swamp varieties of Nyssa sylvatica respond initially to flooding with an acceleration of ethanol production. Under continued flooding the roots of the upland variety sylvatica have decreased rates of ethanol production, very likely a result of the progressively worsening necrosis of the root system. Few of these plants survive a full year of flooding. The swamp...

Population differentiation along a flood frequency gradient: Physiological adaptations to flooding in Nyssa sylvatica Population differentiation along a flood frequency gradient: Physiological adaptations to flooding in Nyssa sylvatica
Throughout the southeastern United States the hardwood Nyssa sylvatica (sensu lato) is distributed along a soil moisture gradient from upland sites, which are never flooded, to floodplains, which are periodically flooded and drained to permanently flooded swamps. Population differentiation with respect to flood tolerance and related physiological attributes was investigated using 1—year...
