Abstract:
... Andesiops peruvianus is widely distributed in the Andean region and has been preliminarily used as a bioindicator of good water quality. Given the morphological variations that are reported for the species, this study aimed to address whether such morphological variability in nymphs captured in tributaries of the Upper Chinchiná River Basin, Caldas-Colombia, could be connected to genetic differenc ...

Ceratophyllum demersum; Chlorella vulgaris; algae; biomass; carbohydrates; direct contact; energy; freshwater ecosystems; macrophytes; nutrients; photosynthesis; secretion
Abstract:
... In shallow freshwater ecosystems, submerged macrophytes and algae usually compete for nutrients, light and space. Previous studies mainly focused on the growth effects (biomass, growth rate, photosynthetic activities) of algae by submerged macrophytes. The present study found that submerged macrophytes could also have morphological influences on green algae. We used the green alga Chlorella vulgar ...

Two metrics of among-site variation in community composition were calculated in up to 45 sampling periods over 12 years for each biological group. We then tested the following beta diversity correlates: richness and pr ...

To identify the mechanisms whereby substrate embeddedness and water velocity influence Nooksack dace (Rhinichthys cataractae subsp. cataractae) prey capture efficiency, we stocked dace in foraging arenas with varying substrate types over a range of velocities (0, 25, 35 cm s⁻¹) and measured their efficiency of prey capture. We stocked a known number of mayfly (Ephemeroptera), black fly (Simuliidae ...

We used this tool to detect and monitor several invasive crayfishes Procambarus clarkii, Orconectes limosus and Pacifastacus leniusculus present in, or likely to invade, the ponds of the Brenne Regional Natural Park. A previous study showed that the eDNA method was not very effici ...

Artemia franciscana; animals; dormancy; hatching; models; photoperiod; salinity; Portugal; Spain; United States
Abstract:
... Dormancy, the physiological start of rest, occurs in numerous animal species. Many crustaceans release various types of encased embryos in a state of dormancy (e.g., cysts, ephippia, etc.). These dormant propagules require specific combinations of abiotic environmental cues to terminate dormancy. Our goal was to determine if population-specific responses to varying levels of salinity and light (ph ...

Abstract:
... Brycon amazonicus is widely distributed in the Amazon basin. The species has traditionally been the focus of subsistence and commercial fisheries, and recently has become an important aquaculture species. Aquaculture relies on the removal of individuals from nature which form the basis of breeding stocks. The breeding stocks are often derived from local populations, but equally often are a mix of ...

However, there is a paucity of studies examining the mechanisms that relate macroinvertebrate sensitivity and responses of individual macroinvertebrate species to burial by sediment. Laboratory-based burial experiments were undertaken to study the r ...

Abundance and composition of the phytoplankton assemblage is strongly affected by the stratification patterns, and therefore, change in the thermocline position might have a substantial effect on this community or even on the whole lake ecosystem. In this study, thermocline de ...
