On the respiration of Torpedo marmorata.
1. The oxygen consumption of resting Torpedo marmorata was measured using three different methods. The results indicate that this species has a much lower oxygen consumption than other elasmobranchs of comparable size. 2. The gills are ventilated by a mechanism similar to that of other rays, but a relatively small spiracular opening seems to be associated with a more important role of the oro-b...
متن کاملEcological Constraints on Mating Tactics
Mating tactics do not exist in a vacuum. Rather, they develop within specific environmental contexts. Such contextual influences can be conceptualized as a series of concentric circles around the individual, as in Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecological model of behavioral development, that are hierarchically nested within each other like a set of Russian dolls. Bronfenbrenner placed behavioral deve...

universit a di genova facolt a di ingegneria dipartimento informatica sistemistica telematica Abstract The goal of this paper is to present a reasoning system, called METAFOL, embodying the features of a self-reeective system, i.e. a system which has a representation of its own code and is able to reason about and, possibly, extend or modify it. These features have been achieved by employing a ...
متن کاملRocking the Boat: Damage to Eelgrass by Swinging Boat Moorings
Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact, these moorings may present a significant threat to seagrass meadows. The seagrass Zostera marina (known as eelgrass) is extensive across the nor...
متن کاملThe cocktail boat.
We describe the inspiration, development, and deployment of a novel cocktail device modeled after a class of water-walking insects. Semi-aquatic insects like Microvelia and Velia evade predators by releasing a surfactant that quickly propels them across the water. We exploit an analogous propulsion mechanism in the design of an edible cocktail boat. We discuss how gradients in surface tension l...
