Analysis of bank erosion on the Merced River, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California, USA Analysis of bank erosion on the Merced River, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California, USA
Channel changes from 1919 to 1989 were documented in two study reaches of the Merced River in Yosemite National Park through a review of historical photographs and documents and a comparison of survey data.

Breeding patterns and reproductive success of California sea otters Breeding patterns and reproductive success of California sea otters
Following commercial exploitation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, sea otter (Enhydra lutris) populations in Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington recovered at 17-20% a year, yet the California population increased at only 5% a year.

Lack of association between magnetic patterns and the distribution of free-ranging dolphins Lack of association between magnetic patterns and the distribution of free-ranging dolphins
While free-ranging dolphins (Delphinus sp.) have been shown to be associated with bottom topography (depth contours of the sea floor), stranded dolphins have been shown to be associated with magnetic topography. Association with magnetic patterns that may be useful for orientation and navigation by free-ranging dolphins has not been demonstrated. Evaluation of the same 140 locations of...
