(1984)This study compared the erosion/accretion rates of five shoreline types surrounding Galveston Island and Pelican Island, Texas. The shoreline types examined included sandy beach, mud flat, salt marsh, shell beach, and mud ...
-
(1984)A laboratory approach to quantify food preferences in penaeid shrimp is developed in this study. Direct visual observations from beneath the experimental tanks provided accurate data with which to assess relative attractivity ...
-
(2012-04-12)Natural and anthropogenic combustion processes are major sources of organic carbon into the environment. Biomarkers of biomass combustion can be used to monitor the impact of combustion on carbon cycling at multiple scales, ...
-
(1983)Fifteen Lolliguncula brevis were divided into three groups based on body size (mantle length). The dorsal mantle, ventral mantle and fins of those squids were observed and the arrangements of chromatophores in those areas ...
-
(1978)Creel census data were taken at the warmwater discharge site of Houston Power and Lighting Company's P.H. Robinson Generating Station during June 1977 through February 1978. Fifty five surveys were conducted during which ...
-
(1978)1. Submersion of the nasal passages in water causes significant bradycardia in the domestic Mallard, Anas platyrhynchos. 2. The degree of bradycardia does not appear to be markedly different between the wild and domestic ...
-
(2012-04-18)This study examines genetic diversity in two species of sipunculan worm, Phascolosoma agassizii and Themiste pyroides, in the Sea of Japan. Low sea levels of the Pleistocene era partially or completely isolated marginal ...
-
(1978)Chaetoceros galvestonensis was first classified in 1962 by Collier and Murphy at the A&M Marine Lab in Galveston. It, like other planktonic, centric diatoms, has extensions or setae projecting from the silicified cell wall. ...
-
(1978)One of the major objectives of this research project was to fully describe the types of behavior exhibited by the Gulf shrimp, Penaeus setiferus and Penaeus aztecus, under controlled laboratory conditions. An experiment ...
-
(1978)The preferred temperature of juvenile Brevoortia patronus, Micropogon undulatus and Mugil cephalus and adult Menidia beryllina was determined in a 9.75m horizontal gradient tank. Juvenile fishes were used for all species ...
-
(1980)Nuclear magnetic relaxation times, T₁ and T₂, were measured for a water/glycerol/albumin system as a function of water content. T₁ relaxation times decreased from 95 msec at a hydration of 52 g H₂O/100 g dry solid to 62 ...
