Tufted puffin reproduction reveals ocean climate variability.
Anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) are associated with interannual and decadal variability as well as with long-term climate changes indicative of global warming. Such oscillations could precipitate changes in a variety of oceanic processes to affect marine species worldwide. As global temperatures continue to rise, it will be critically important to be able to predict the effects...
متن کاملThe adrenocortical response of tufted puffin chicks to nutritional deficits.
In several seabirds, nutritional state of a nest-bound chick is negatively correlated with the activity of its hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Increased corticosterone (cort) secretion has been shown to facilitate changes in behavior that allow hungry chicks to obtain more food from parents. However, if parents are not willing/able to buffer their young from temporary food shortages,...
متن کاملWhen Small Effects Are Impressive
Effect size is becoming an increasingly popular measure of the importance of an effect, both in individual studies and in meta-analyses. However, a large effect size is not the only way to demonstrate that an effect is important. This article describes 2 alternative methodological strategies, in which importance is a function of how minimal a manipulation of the independent variable or how diff...

متن کاملIsotropic Radiators
Can the radiation pattern of an antenna be isotropic? A simple argument suggests that this is difficult. The intensity of radiation depends on the square of the electric (or magnetic) field. To have isotropic radiation, it would seem that the magnitude of the electric field would have to be uniform over any sphere in the far zone. However, the electromagnetic fields in the far zone of an antenn...
