We deal with possible morphological adaption to varied snow conditions by four North American ungulate species. Chest heights and weight loads on track are key parameters in estimating capabilities of species, and of age and sex classes within species, to cope with snow. Methods believed suitable for measuring those parameters in replicable fashion are discussed. Comparative studies of bison (Bison bison), moose (Alces alces), wapiti (Cervus elaphus), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are described. There are pronounced differences in both parameters between species and between some age and sex classes within species. Chest heights of the three cervids differed by a fixed interval suggesting that differential ability to use varied snow depths may play a role in resource partitioning. Differential winter mortality may be related to sex and age class differences in ability to cope with snow. Morphological differences relate to regional distributions by determining species suitability for survival in varying snow regimes.

Research on personal home pages is still rare. Many studies to date are exploratory, and the problem of drawing a sample that reflects the variety of existing home pages has not yet been solved. The present paper discusses sampling strategies and suggests a strategy based on the results retrieved by a search engine. This approach is used to draw a sample of 229 personal home pages that portray private identities. Findings on age and sex of the owners and elements characterizing the sites are reported.

Background: Suicide is a major cause of premature death in Italy and occurs at different rates in the various regions. Aims: The aim of the present study was to provide a comprehensive overview of suicide in the Italian population aged 15 years and older for the years 1980–2006. Methods: Mortality data were extracted from the Italian Mortality Database. Results: Mortality rates for suicide in Italy reached a peak in 1985 and declined thereafter. The different patterns observed by age and sex indicated that the decrease in the suicide rate in Italy was initially the result of declining rates in those aged 45+ while, from 1997 on, the decrease was attributable principally to a reduction in suicide rates among the younger age groups. It was found that socioeconomic factors underlined major differences in the suicide rate across regions. Conclusions: The present study confirmed that suicide is a multifaceted phenomenon that may be determined by an array of factors. Suicide prevention should, therefore, be targeted to identifiable high-risk sociocultural groups in each country.
