This study explored differences in the feeding rate among 20 species of coral reef butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef. Feeding rate, measured as bites per minute (b.p.m.), varied between ...

Production from aquaculture of the New Zealand Greenshell-mussel, Perna canaliculus, is worth more than US $190M annually. However, expansion of the industry is currently limited by the number of naturally occurring seed ...

Salinity levels are rising in many freshwater environments, yet there are few direct measurements of salinity tolerance of organisms likely to be salt sensitive. The relative salinity tolerance to artificial seawater of ...

This study investigated the repeated-sprint ability (RSA) physiological responses to a standardized, high-intensity, intermittent running test (HIT), maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max)s do not display in the abstract in HTML. ...

Archaea of the genus Sulfolobus have a single-circular chromosome with three replication origins. All three origins fire in every cell in every cell cycle. Thus, three pairs of replication forks converge and terminate in ...
