To reach adult habitats, juveniles of three species of Hawaiian gobies (fishes under 3 cm long) climb waterfalls up to 350 m high, over 10 000 times their body length. The demands of moving through such an extreme environment could constrain the range of viable locomotor mechanisms that these fishes use. Previous qualitative observations indicated that Lentipes concolor and Awaous guamensis use...

THE MECHANICAL EFFECTS OF muscle contraction on blood flow to the muscle tissue are interesting, complex, and, we believe, important. It is clear that forceful muscle contractions can stop arterial inflow and propel blood rapidly from the veins. Although there is no controversy about vigorous contractions stopping arterial inflow, controversy continues about the relative importance of the “musc...

Ecosystem Services (ES) and Urban Services (US) influence place liveability in a comparable manner so that assessing landscape liveability considering both types of services can result effective for landscape planning and policy-making purposes. Considering that liveability is strongly dependent also on landscape perception by local population, stakeholder involvement results essential for a mo...

Abstract. In many parts of the world, motorized travel is one most common ways that people interact with their regional landscape. This study investigates how travelers' understandings place might be influenced by what landforms they can see from a vehicle. It uses cumulative viewshed analysis on Washington State (United States) highway network to determine which physical landscape features are...
