An incidence of twinning in the sea otter (Enhydra lutris) An incidence of twinning in the sea otter (Enhydra lutris)

The only other otters we saw in the area was a mated pair (adult male tending an adult female) resting...

The use of stable isotopes in the study of photosynthesis in freshwater plants The use of stable isotopes in the study of photosynthesis in freshwater plants

The ratio of 13C/12C for photosynthetic tissues of 22 aquatic species was unrelated to photosynthetic pathway. In three aquatic environments CAM and non-CAM species were shown to have similar δ13C values. Although these CAM species derive up to half of their net carbon gain through dark fixation their δ13C values are similar to associated non-CAM species in part because the carbon source...
