DIFFERENCES IN MOBILITY AND DISPERSAL CAPACITY DETERMINE BODY SIZE CLINES IN TWO COMMON ALPINE-TUNDRA ARTHROPODS

Differences in Mobility and Dispersal Capacity Determine Body Size Clines in Two Common Alpine-Tundra Arthropods

The Arctic is projected to be severely impacted by changes in temperature and precipitation.Species react to these changes by shifts in ranges, phenology, and body size.In ectotherms, the patterns of body size clines and their underlying mechanisms are often hard to untangle.Mountains provide a space-for-time substitute to study these shifts along

Design Improvement of a Viscous-Spring Damper for Controlling Torsional Vibration in a Propulsion Shafting System with an Engine Acceleration Problem

In order to cope with strengthened marine environmental regulations and to reduce fuel consumption, recently constructed vessels are equipped with an ultra-long stroke engine and apply engine de-rating technology.This was intended to improve propulsion efficiency by adopting a larger diameter propeller turning at a lower speed but also results in a

With a little help from my friends: importance of protist-protist interactions in structuring marine protistan communities in the San Pedro Channel

ABSTRACT Marine protists form complex communities that are shaped by environmental and biological ecosystem properties, as well as ecological interactions between organisms.While all of these factors play a role in shaping protistan communities, the specific ways in which these properties and interactions influence protistan communities remain poor
