Abstract. A self-contained turbulence instrument from Rockland Scientific was installed on a light autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) OceanScan Marine Systems and Technology Lda. We report the data quality discuss limitations of dissipation estimated two shear probes during deployment in Barents Sea February 2021. The AUV mission lasted for 5 h, operating at typical horizontal speed 1.1 m s−1....

objective: salt stress is a world-wide problem and soil salinity is common in arid and semi-arid regions. this study was undertaken to investigate salt tolerance in salsola orientalis in laboratory and natural conditions and recognize the mechanisms that allow it to tolerate these conditions. methods: this study had two parts of greenhouse and natural habitats. the treatment solutions for salin...

The distribution and status of native and non-native crayfish are monitored across hundreds of lakes in Ontario (Canada). However, a corresponding effort has not been undertaken in flowing waters. Reliable and efficient sampling methods are essential for the detection of new aquatic invaders and tracking the spread of existing invasive species. In this study, a recent dataset for the invasive r...

This study investigates the hypothesis that tomtits are significantly less susceptible to 1080 poison operations when cereal rather than carrot bait applications are used, both at relatively low sowing rates. We made counts of territorial male tomtits along transects during standard 1080 possum control operations in 2001 to 2003. The transects had 3–5 kg ha sowing rates of either carrot or cere...

The polarized nature of neurons and the size and density of synapses complicates the manipulation and visualization of cell biological processes that control synaptic function. Here we developed a microfluidic local perfusion (microLP) chamber to access and manipulate synaptic regions and presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments in vitro. This chamber directs the formation of synapses in >100 ...

We present results on the geometry and depth distributions for transects along the crowns of small to large avalanches. Previous research suggests that power laws in aggregate distributions of crown depths result from observers recording maximum depth. We therefore studied individual crown transects to obtain information about the parent distributions, using in situ and photogrammetric measurem...

We used dung surveys to estimate population size and extracted an age structure from boli diameters for the elephants living in the Maputo Elephant Reserve. Our estimate was based on published defecation rates, dung decay rates, distance-sampling techniques and 1,672 dung piles encountered on 204 line-transects. The reserve had at least 311 (95% CI: 198–490) elephants at a density of 0.60 (95% ...
