Does schooling reduce fast-start response latencies in teleosts?
(Elsevier, 1980)
1. 1. Response latencies, denned as the time between a d.c. electric shock and initiation of a fast-start (startle response) were measured for eight species of teleosts.2. 2. Fast-start response latencies varied from 10 ...
Root turnover and productivity of coniferous forests
(Martinus Nijhoff/Dr. W. Junk Publishers; Martinus Nijhoff/Dr W. Junk Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1983-02)
Fine roots and mycorrhizae have recently been shown to produce a major portion of the organic matter entering decomposition. Roots and mycorrhizae constitute 63 to 70% of total net primary production in Douglas-fir and ...

Sampling and faunal turnover in early Eocene mammals
(Elsevier, 1988-02-15)
Faunal turnovers in the fossil record are episodes of synchronous appearance and disapperance of species from a community, often resulting in net change in species richness. We studied the biostratigraphic record of faunal ...
Macronuclear persistence of sequences normally eliminated during development in Tetrahymena thermophila
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1985)
During conjugation in the ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila , a somatic MAC-ronucleus develops from the germinal MICronucleus. Ten to 20 percent of the MIC genome is eliminated during this process. Three repetitive ...

Response of Solidago canadensis clones to competition
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-11)
Transplants of ten Solidago canadensis clones were grown under high and low competition in the field to determine whether clones differed in survival, growth, and reproduction under natural conditions. Transplants had ...
Interactive effects of light, leaf temperature, CO 2 and O 2 on photosynthesis in soybean
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-08)
A biochemical model of C 3 photosynthesis has been developed by G.D. Farquhar et al. (1980, Planta 149, 78–90) based on Michaelis-Menten kinetics of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase-oxygenase, with a potential ...
A new species of Lampropholis (Lacertilia: Scincidae) from the rainforests of northeastern Queensland
