Worms as wedges: Effects of sediment mechanics on burrowing behavior
Recent studies document linear elastic response of muddy marine sediments to load and deformation on temporal and spatial scales relevant to animal movement, with burrowers making openings for movement in such sediments by fracture. Cracks propagate through linear elastic solids in mode I (opening-mode crack growth) when the stress intensity factor (KI) at the crack tip exceeds the material’s f...
متن کاملBurrowing behavior of freshwater mussels in experimentally manipulated communities
We experimentally manipulated mussel community structure and observed mussel burrowing behavior in mesocosms held in a greenhouse. Vertical positions, vertical movements, and horizontal movements of Actinonaias ligamentina, Amblema plicata, Fusconaia flava, and Obliquaria reflexa were recorded during five 11-d trials. Community structure was manipulated by constructing communities with 11 diffe...
متن کاملEvolution and Genetics of Precocious Burrowing Behavior in Peromyscus Mice.
A central challenge in biology is to understand how innate behaviors evolve between closely related species. One way to elucidate how differences arise is to compare the development of behavior in species with distinct adult traits [1]. Here, we report that Peromyscus polionotus is strikingly precocious with regard to burrowing behavior, but not other behaviors, compared to its sister species P...
متن کاملThe State of Silurian
The geological sciences demand close international cooperation as wel as a rigorous and clearly understood language of words. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in stratigraphy where, despite the luxury of long philosophical discussions on rocks versus time, many feel a sense of urgency about attempts to achieve a standard global chronostratigraphy. The now wel-known pioneer work of the inte...
متن کاملmortality forecasting based on lee-carter model
over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...
