Assessing Marine Microbial Induced Corrosion at Santa Catalina Island, California
High iron and eutrophic conditions are reported as environmental factors leading to accelerated low-water corrosion, an enhanced form of near-shore microbial induced corrosion. To explore this hypothesis, we deployed flow-through colonization systems in laboratory-based aquarium tanks under a continuous flow of surface seawater from Santa Catalina Island, CA, USA, for periods of 2 and 6 months....
متن کاملReproductive Consequences of an Extreme Drought for Orange-crowned Warblers on Santa Catalina and Santa Cruz Islands
Bird populations on the California Channel Islands are adapted to a Mediterranean-type climate with extended dry periods and considerable annual variation in rainfall. The winter of 2006-2007, however, was outside the normal range in southern California and ranked as one of the driest on record. Here we report how these drought conditions affected the reproductive output of a small songbird, th...
متن کاملDetection of mitochondrial DNA from domestic cattle in bison on Santa Catalina Island.
In 1924, 14 American bison (Bison bison) were introduced to Santa Catalina Island, California and sporadically supplemented thereafter with additional animals. To reduce the herd and its impact on native vegetation, over 2000 animals have been exported during the past four decades. Today, the herd is estimated to contain around 250 individuals. Genetic analysis was performed on 98 animals remov...
متن کاملReanalysis of polytene chromosomes in Drosophila mojavensis populations from Santa Catalina Island , California
It was previously reported that dietary restriction may disturb sex ratio (och Felix Zajitschek, 2012), as well as diet of females (Hu et al., 2012). Deviation from 1:1 sex ratio observed in our experiment was recorded only for flies maintained on carrot substrate after transferring to the new nutritional environments. Such sex ratio distortion may arise at least partially as a consequence of d...
متن کاملReproductive behaviour of a temperate serranid fish, Paralabrax clathratus (Girard), from Santa Catalina Island, California, U.S.A
The reproductive behaviour of the kelp bass Paralabrax clathratus was studied on Santa Catalina Island, California, U.S.A. from April 2000 to September 2002. Adults formed aggregations of three to > 200 individuals, and spawning occurred within subgroups of three to 23 individuals that contained a single female. The gonado-somatic index (IG) of collected ripe males (mean 1⁄4 5 8%, range 1⁄4 0 5...
