The contributions of temporal and spatial environmental variation to physiological variation remain poorly resolved. Rocky intertidal zone populations are subjected to thermal variation over the tidal cycle, superimposed with micro-scale variation in individuals' body temperatures. Using the sea mussel (Mytilus californianus), we assessed the consequences of this micro-scale environmental varia...

Seamounts are prominent features of the world’s seafloor, and are the target of deep-sea commercial fisheries, and of interest for minerals exploitation. They can host vulnerable benthic communities, which can be rapidly and severely impacted by human activities. There have been recent calls to establish networks of marine protected areas on the High Seas, including seamounts. However, there is...

The non-adiabatic frequencies of a standard solar model are discussed in this paper. The physics describing the radiative losses is included in the non-adiabatic effects.An asymptotic approximation to the non-adiabatic non-radial p-modes of the Sun is developed. An exact solution of non-adiabatic oscillations, which results in an eigenfrequency equation with the model-dependent surface phase sh...

Abstract Using the wire beam electrode technique, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray formation of calcareous deposits in a tidal zone and its effects on corrosion protection Q235 steel under cathodic were studied. Results showed that production aragonite CaCO 3 crystals significantly reduced from immersion to high-tide zone, protective performance deposited layer we...

Even after 30 years of strict de jure protection, today's de facto extraction of products from Nepal's Royal Chitwan National Park (RCNP) and their great economic importance to local households suggests that this reality should be explicitly internalised in managing this world heritage park. Several studies have quantified local people's use of protected areas and estimated the value of such ar...
