Density cycles in an island population of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus Density cycles in an island population of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus

We report on eight years of data for a population of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) on Santa Barbara Island, California which reaches exceptionally high densities and fluctuates markedly in an apparent three- to four-year cycle. The cyclic increase follows winters with high rainfall, and the decline may be similarly associated with low rainfall winters. The peak and early decline is...

Diurnal photosynthesis cycle in CAM and non-CAM seasonal pool aquatic macrophytes Diurnal photosynthesis cycle in CAM and non-CAM seasonal pool aquatic macrophytes

Seasonal pools undergo marked diurnal changes in pH, free carbon dioxide, and oxygen levels. Previous studies showed that Isoetes howellii utilized crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis as a means of assimilating carbon at night when ambient carbon dioxide levels are high. However, much of the pool flora is not CAM. We hypothesized that coexistence under extreme carbon...
