Energetics of ascent: insects on inclines.
Small animals use more metabolic energy per unit mass than large animals to run on a level surface. If the cost to lift one gram of mass one vertical meter is constant, small animals should require proportionally smaller increases in metabolic cost to run uphill. To test this hypothesis on very small animals possessing an exceptional capacity for ascending steep gradients, we measured the metab...
متن کاملAntidunes on steep slopes
16 When increasing the rates of subcritical flow on gentle slopes, the bed successively produces 17 ripples, dunes and flat beds. Antidunes (defined here as all bed undulations for which the 18 surface gravity waves are in phase with the bed profile) appear only in high flow rates and 19 may be found in some extreme natural flow events. Inversely, on steep slopes flume 20 experiment (S≥1% appro...
متن کاملDense Granular Flows down Inclines
Dense granular flows down inclines continue to defy understanding. However, the last three decades have witnessed progress in techniques and approaches that have moved the field closer to achieving ab initio predictions of practical relevance. Difficulties arise for three principal reasons. First, because granular flows dissipate mechanical energy on the particle scale, regions featuring a subs...
متن کاملGlycogen loss in rat muscles during locomotion on different inclines.
Running downhill causes structural damage in deep slow-twitch extensor muscles of the limbs. Both mechanical and metabolic hypotheses have been proposed to explain the damage. The purpose of this study was to use measurements of glycogen loss in the muscles and metabolic rates of rats running on the level and up and down 16 degrees inclines at 26 m min-1 to try to distinguish between these hypo...
متن کاملCorrespondence of pollen assemblages with forest zones across steep environmental gradients, Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA
The use of pollen records to document vegetation responses to climatic change in mountains relies on the ability of pollen assemblages to differentiate among elevationally stratified vegetation zones. Comparisons among modern pollen assemblages within mountainous areas provide a basis for assessing this potential. We examined relationships between pollen assemblages, forest vegetation and clima...
