Sleeping distance in wolf pairs in relation to the breeding season
Changes in sleeping distances in 11 pairs of wild wolves (Canis lupus) were studied to determine if they correlated with stages of the breeding cycle. Aerial radio-tracking and observation were the techniques used. Members of most pairs slept less than 1 m apart at least sometime during proestrus and the first half of the breeding season, but slept farther apart during the second half and after br

Factors controlling heavy-mineral variations on the South Texas outer continental shelf, Gulf of Mexico
Heavy-mineral distribution on the outer continental shelf off the southern coast of Texas shows regional variability induced by provenance and local variability reflecting genetic differences in sea-floor sediments. Q-mode factor analysis showed that three suites of heavy minerals are present. The southern ancestral Rio Grande delta sediments contain a distinct opaque-pyroxene-garnet suite, wherea
