Breeding ranges of Phoebastria albatrosses are further constrained by confinement within a single ocean basin, with the aerodynamic performance of short-tailed albatrosses likely preventing crossing through areas of low wind speed and low productivity (e.g. central Pacific) and the aerodynamic performance of waved albatrosses potentially impairing efficient use of windy areas.
"The best song wasn't the single," Ocean intones at the outset of "Sweet Life," and by the second or third time around you find yourself singing along, convinced.
Two sets of healthy volunteers (n = 11, n = 12) were recruited to test this hypothesis with a single recreational ocean dive or a baro-equivalent dry hyperbaric dive.
The majority of detailed studies concerning local environmental conditions in L. pertusa habitats have been conducted within the north-eastern Atlantic, limiting most knowledge of the niche of this species to a single part of an ocean basin.
But here, with the waft of eucalyptus scenting the breeze, the distant murmur of the ocean, and a single dazzling puff of candy-floss cloud in a sky of blue, I was persuaded to concur that this, "the second largest sand-island in the world", is one of Australia's most precious places.
Researchers can measure annual changes in how the melt rate occurs, for example, or the effects of a single pulse of warm deep-ocean water.
Version one was basically a glorified kite, yet today we've got double decker aircraft that can cross the oceans on a single tank of gas, albeit a big one.
In a point absorbing system, buoys move through a single degree of motion with the ocean waves, driving swing arms that turn a rotary generator.
These rule out the presence of a single large ethane ocean on the "back-side" of Titan.
Well, like a single cell in a petri dish, we are nothing but a collection of trillions of cells, much like a single drop of water is to the ocean, and, as such, are also influenced by our environment.
