Testing An Ecophysiological Mechanism Of Morphological Plasticity In Pupfish And Its Relevance To Conservation Efforts For Endangered Devils Hole Pupfish, Sean C. Lema, Gabrielle A. Nevitt Sep 2006

Testing An Ecophysiological Mechanism Of Morphological Plasticity In Pupfish And Its Relevance To Conservation Efforts For Endangered Devils Hole Pupfish, Sean C. Lema, Gabrielle A. Nevitt

Biological Sciences

Imperiled species that have been translocated or established in captivity can show rapid alterations in morphology and behavior, but the proximate mechanisms of such phenotypic changes are rarely known. Devils Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) are endemic to a single desert pool and are characterized by a small body, large head and eyes, and lack of pelvic fins. To lessen the risk of extinction, additional populations of C. diabolis were established in artificial refuges. Yet, pupfish in these refuges rapidly shifted to a larger body, smaller head and eyes, and greater body depth. Here we examined how food availability …

Diapause In Aquatic Invertebrates:What's Known And What's Next In Research And Medical Application?, Victor R. Alekseev, Jiang-Shiou Hwang, Mei-Hui Tseng Sep 2006

Diapause In Aquatic Invertebrates:What's Known And What's Next In Research And Medical Application?, Victor R. Alekseev, Jiang-Shiou Hwang, Mei-Hui Tseng

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Dormancy is a profound and ancient adaptation found in a wide spectrum of plants and animals of all habitats. In diapause the switch between active and dormant states is driven by hormonal mechanism that usually includes a photoperiodic pace-maker. Temperature, food limitation and some other stress factors as well are shown as driven by diapause induction in aquatic invertebrates. In the last decade, diapause studies from a wide variety of topics have demonstrated that diapause switch mechanisms may be developed to create novel applications in biotechnology. Resting eggs accumulated in the surface lake sediments represent a “bank” of zooplankton species …

Faculty Scholarship

There is no dispute that the punitive damages award that was upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court in this case satisfies the most rigorous law and economic standards for rationality. The Court need not credit the analysis of the undersigned amici on this score; the fact that Petitioner’s own amici – most notably law and economics scholars A. Mitchell Polinsky and Steven Shavell – have been unable to find anything economically amiss in the decision below speaks volumes. To be sure, Professors Polinsky and Shavell have filed an amicus brief in support of Philip Morris in this case, just as …


Low Cell Ph Depresses Peak Power In Rat Skeletal Muscle Fibres At Both 30°C And 15°C: Implications For Muscle Fatigue, Shannon T. Knuth, H. L. W. Dave, Jim R. Peters, Robert H. Fitts Sep 2006

Low Cell Ph Depresses Peak Power In Rat Skeletal Muscle Fibres At Both 30°C And 15°C: Implications For Muscle Fatigue, Shannon T. Knuth, H. L. W. Dave, Jim R. Peters, Robert H. Fitts

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Historically, an increase in intracellular H+ (decrease in cell pH) was thought to contribute to muscle fatigue by direct inhibition of the cross-bridge leading to a reduction in velocity and force. More recently, due to the observation that the effects were less at temperatures closer to those observed in vivo, the importance of H+ as a fatigue agent has been questioned. The purpose of this work was to re-evaluate the role of H+ in muscle fatigue by studying the effect of low pH (6.2) on force, velocity and peak power in rat fast-and slow-twitch muscle fibres …


The African Bushmeat Crisis: A Case For Global Partnership, Andrew Elliott Kohn, Heather E. Eves Sep 2006

The African Bushmeat Crisis: A Case For Global Partnership, Andrew Elliott Kohn, Heather E. Eves

ExpressO

Across Central Africa a commercial, unsustainable, and largely illegal hunting and trade in wildlife for meat has expanded in recent years causing immediate threat to countless wildlife populations and species. Currently, multi-national agreements and government initiatives created to address the bushmeat crisis in the region are unable to halt the extensive destruction to the area’s unique biodiversity . Although many of these agreements strongly support addressing the bushmeat crisis, they lack the resources and capacity to be fully implemented. Strong U.S. engagement in a global partnership, arising from intensive, complete, and wide-ranging bipartisan commitment would greatly enhance existing international biodiversity …


Transsexualism And The Binary Divide: Determining Sex Using Objective Criteria, Mathew Staver Sep 2006

Transsexualism And The Binary Divide: Determining Sex Using Objective Criteria, Mathew Staver

ExpressO

This article deals with the legal status of postoperative transsexuals in terms of marriage and sex-based classifications. Until recently, sex has been assumed to be binary, i.e., male and female. Whether sex is immutable or transitory, objective or subjective, has now become an international concern. This article addresses every case in the world every decided on this issue. The resolution is centrally important to the battle over marriage and sex0based classifications. The thesis of this article is that sex is an immutable characteristic at the time of birth and must be determined by objective criteria. Sex must be determined by …

Understanding Long-Term Energy Use And Carbon Dioxide Emissions In The Usa, Richard S.J. Tol, Stephen W. Pacala , Robert Socolow Sep 2006

Understanding Long-Term Energy Use And Carbon Dioxide Emissions In The Usa, Richard S.J. Tol, Stephen W. Pacala , Robert Socolow

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

We compile a database of energy uses, energy sources, and carbon dioxide emissions for the USA for the period 1850-2002. We use a model to extrapolate the missing observations on energy use by sector. Overall emission intensity rose between 1850 and 1917, and fell between 1917 and 2002. The leading cause for the rise in emission intensity was the switch from wood to coal, but population growth, economic growth, and electrification contributed as well. After 1917, population growth, economic growth and electrification pushed emissions up further, and there was no net shift from fossil to non-fossil energy sources. From 1850 …

Sustainability At Cal Poly, Facility Services, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo, Facilities Planning And Capital Projects, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo, Sustainability Advisory Committee, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo

Publications

This report is one of many attempts to quantify and track Cal Poly’s movement toward a “greener” campus. Efforts are underway to reduce reliance on automobile commuting to campus, to promote energy and water conservation, to recycle solid waste, and to incorporate “green” products and practices in new buildings and in campus operations. This report looks at measures of sustainability along several parameters. The results not only highlight various successes, but also suggest areas in which additional efforts are needed. We intend to update this report biennially.
