Benthic biomass in the Pisco, Peru upwelling
(1971-02)Quantitative benthic samples were taken off Peru in and adjacent to the Pisco upwelling in an attempt to assess the effects of extremes in productivity and dissolved oxygen on the distribution of biomass (organic cabon). ... -
Benthic production and processes off Baja California, Northwest Africa and Peru: a classification of benthic subsystems in upwelling ecosystems
(Instituto de Investigaciones Pesqueras., 1985)Estimates of the standing stocks, secondary production and metabolism of the benthos have been compared in the coastal upwelling ecosystems off northwest Africa, Baja California, and southern Peru. Northwest Africa is ... -
Comparative Analysis of the Flexural Stiffness of Pinniped Vibrissae
(PLOS ONE, 2015-07-06)Vibrissae are important components of the mammalian tactile sensory system and are used to detect vibrotactile stimuli in the environment. Pinnipeds have the largest and most highly innervated vibrissae among mammals, and ... -
