    Ecological energetics of Eudyptes penguins at Marion Island

    No full text
    Includes bibliographies.Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and Rockhopper Penguins (E. chrysocome) breed sympatrically at Marion Island in the sub-Antarctic, where they account for a substantial proportion of the avian biomass breeding at the island. This thesis documents the energy requirements of the two species during their respective breeding and moulting cycles at the island. Resting metabolic rates, calculated from lowest, stable rates of oxygen consumption over 24 h, averaged 25 % greater than basal metabolic rates predicted from allometric equations. Body temperatures of the penguins and the relationships between metabolic rates and temperature were investigated over a range of -10°C to 25°C. Lower critical temperature of Rockhopper Penguins was between 0°C and 5°C, but that of Macaroni Penguins could not be clearly ascertained. Measured metabolic rates of other species of penguins are reviewed and intra- and inter-specific differences in metabolic rates are discussed. In contrast to most penguins measured, individuals maintained in zoos or held in captivity for long periods had metabolic rates lower than predicted basal levels

    Step-by-step instructions for retina recordings with perforated multi electrode arrays.

    No full text
    Multi-electrode arrays are a state-of-the-art tool in electrophysiology, also in retina research. The output cells of the retina, the retinal ganglion cells, form a monolayer in many species and are well accessible due to their proximity to the inner retinal surface. This structure has allowed the use of multi-electrode arrays for high-throughput, parallel recordings of retinal responses to presented visual stimuli, and has led to significant new insights into retinal organization and function. However, using conventional arrays where electrodes are embedded into a glass or ceramic plate can be associated with three main problems: (1) low signal-to-noise ratio due to poor contact between electrodes and tissue, especially in the case of strongly curved retinas from small animals, e.g. rodents; (2) insufficient oxygen and nutrient supply to cells located on the bottom of the recording chamber; and (3) displacement of the tissue during recordings. Perforated multi-electrode arrays (pMEAs) have been found to alleviate all three issues in brain slice recordings. Over the last years, we have been using such perforated arrays to study light evoked activity in the retinas of various species including mouse, pig, and human. In this article, we provide detailed step-by-step instructions for the use of perforated MEAs to record visual responses from the retina, including spike recordings from retinal ganglion cells and in vitro electroretinograms (ERG). In addition, we provide in-depth technical and methodological troubleshooting information, and show example recordings of good quality as well as examples for the various problems which might be encountered. While our description is based on the specific equipment we use in our own lab, it may also prove useful when establishing retinal MEA recordings with other equipment

    During the tenure of Tampa Mayor Sandy Freedman (1986-1995), Sherry Crawford, Debbie Rotolo, and Marion Sell all served as executive aides in the mayor\u27s office. Some of the topics they discuss include the mayor\u27s Model Cities Program, the United Way, Paint Your Heart Out, and downtown development issues. The interview ends with a discussion of various visiting dignitaries including Al Gore, Queen Elizabeth II, Richard Simmons, Bill Clinton, and author James Michener

    An Interview with Marion Halligan

    No full text
    Australian author Marion Halligan began publishing fiction later in life. She has won numerous awards for her writing, including the Age Book of the Year for Lovers' Knots in 1992. More recently her work has appeared in The Best Australian Stories 2012 and the latest edition of The Griffith Review. Halligan has largely flown under the radar of literary critics, however, perhaps partly because her work is set in the suburbs and the domestic realm. For Halligan, suburbia is a rich source of material: it is 'where life happens, where people live and love one another and raise their children, where there is grief and recrimination and murder and pain, it is where the human comedy unfolds'. The following interview was conducted at Marion Halligan's Canberra home in 2011. It is an informal discussion around her work, in particular three of her novels which feature an artist protagonist who is struggling to come to terms with the experience of loss, grief and bereavement. These novels, Lovers' Knots (1992), The Golden Dress (1998) and The Fog Garden (2001) are rich explorations of the role of art in the lives of the main characters and in our lives in general. According to Halligan, 'the world is a cruel and dark and difficult place and it is words that light the small candle flames that keep the dark at bay'. Words and writing are essential to her life. In an essay titled 'Why I Write', she says: 'I write in order to put the world into words. I've always done that in my head. I can't perceive anything without trying to find words for it'. Halligan's writing is an evocative exploration of the human condition and the ways we cope in the face of events common to all of us during our lives
