ABSTRACT The June 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption resulted in a massive increase of sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere, absorbing radiation and leading to global changes in surface and stratospheric temperatures. A volcanic eruption of this magnitude serves as a natural analog for stratospheric aerosol injection, a proposed solar radiation modification ...

Herpetofaunal camera arrays versus pitfall and funnel trap arrays were tested in upland habitats of Florida, USA, and found that the methods are complementary in recording species richness and abundance; they were also similar in costs of use. Future herpetofaunal field studies should employ both cameras and live traps to best estimate populations and ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Chitinase from the Nine-Banded Armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus
The insectivorous diet of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, is abundant in the polysaccharide chitin. To determine if armadillos produce a chitinase that aids in digestion of chitinous exoskeletons, armadillos were collected, and samples ...
