Abstract Whether tree canopy habitats played a sustained role in the ecology of ancestral bipedal hominins is unresolved. Some argue that arboreal bipedalism was prohibitively risky for hominins whose increasingly modern anatomy prevented them from g

The study examined variation in energetic-efficiency profiles among production systems and cow parities. Further, the correlation between cows' body condition score (BCS) and energetic efficiency over the lactation period was determined. Biological e

SUMMARYMany hoverfly species show specific or non specific morphological resemblance to wasps (Vespula sp.) and it has been suggested that they also show similar flight behaviour. In this study we therefore compared the flight behaviour of wasps with

SUMMARYFingernails are a characteristic feature of primates, and are composed of three layers of the fibrous composite keratin. This study examined the structure and fracture properties of human fingernails to determine how they resist bending forces

Though the resistance to uprooting of cylindrical roots and root systems has been extensively investigated, almost no research has been performed on the factors that influence the uprooting resistance of bulbs. However, engineers have modelled bulb-l

Because they grow away from their substratum to compete for light, plants have to withstand hydrodynamic or aerodynamic drag. Both water and land plants reconfigure in response to this drag, and this is presumed to reduce the risk of mechanical failu

1. It has long been known that wood in trees is under internally generated tensile or compressive forces, known as ‘prestrains’. These prestrains are thought to limit compressive loading at points of high strain within the tree to counteract the

The torsional behaviour of cambered plates has been analysed. Plates cambered in one plane change shape when they are twisted. Some oblique sections are flattened out while others are cambered further, and this results in asymmetric behaviour; camber

SummaryThe effects of root and shoot characteristics on the lodging resistance of four cultivars of winter wheat were investigated by combining results from a field trial (set up at Manchester University's Experimental Grounds, Jodrell Bank, in mid-S
