Intensification of open-ocean oxygen depletion by vertically migrating animals
Throughout the ocean, countless small animals swim to depth in the daytime, presumably to seek refuge from large predators1,2. These animals return to the surface at night to feed1,2. This substantial diel vertical migration can result in the transfer of significant amounts of carbon and nutrients from the surface to depth3–7. However, its consequences on ocean chemistry at the global scale hav...
متن کاملAccuracy of Spatial Data Used In Geographic Information Systems
ABsTRA.cr: Geographic Inforrna.~on Systems (GIS) are concerned with the collection, management, display, and analysis of spatial data. In order to utilIze GIS, one needs to have appropriate hardware, software, and trained personnel. Howev.er, the cost of this portion of an automation project is small compared to that of data collection, which is very exper:slve. Moreover, the accuracy and quali...
متن کاملDatabase of ion temperature maps during geomagnetic storms
Ion temperatures as a function of the x and y axes in the geocentric solar magnetospheric (GSM) coordinate system and time are available for 76 geomagnetic storms that occurred during the period July 2008 to December 2013 on CDAWeb. The method for mapping energetic neutral atom data from the Two Wide-angle Imaging Spectrometers (TWINS) mission to the GSM equatorial plane and subsequent ion temp...
متن کاملDo animals have cognitive maps?
Drawing on studies of humans, rodents, birds and arthropods, I show that 'cognitive maps' have been used to describe a wide variety of spatial concepts. There are, however, two main definitions. One, sensu Tolman, O'Keefe and Nadel, is that a cognitive map is a powerful memory of landmarks which allows novel short-cutting to occur. The other, sensu Gallistel, is that a cognitive map is any repr...
متن کاملA Common Switch used by Plants and Animals
Comparisons of plant and animal development usually highlight their differences. The discovery that a kinase of the MAPKK class plays a key role in cell specification at the first division of the Arabidopsis embryo suggests that there may be similarities based on a common logic.
