Seasonal variations in the Humboldt Current System are substantially lower than in other environ- ments scyphozoans thrive in and some invertebrates in this system are reproductive throughout the year, albeit with slightly lower and slower reproductive activity during the winter months, e.g., the ...
The priming effect of the algal symbionts is not primarily coupled with photosynthetic activity, but was found to be enhanced in the light. Budding of larva-like propagules by the polyp, however, is independent from such zooxanthellae. On the other hand the budding rate is influenced by various...
where shellfishing activity has modified intertidal beds during decades. The study had two main objectives: (1) to assess the population structure, including the reproductive patterns, of two commercially important clam species,R. philippinarumandR. decussatus, in ...
Such indices will be essential for evaluating long-term changes associated with climate change, sea level rise, biological invasions and increasing human activity in the coastal zone. However, their development will probably require greater inclusion of functional attributes due to the changing species ...
The last thing that one wants is for a natural resource management agency to be in a position where their response is “we didn’t see that coming” whereby an activity that is potentially detrimental or one that could substantially improve business has already been fully embraced and normalized...
(Gasterosteus aculeatus):Fischer & Frommen, 2013;guppies(Poecilia reticulate):Borner, Krause, Mehner, Uusi-heikkilä, Ramnarine, & Krause, 2015). As turbidity affects activity levels, aggression, and shoaling tendency in zebrafish (Wojtas, Pokorny, & Mucha, 2015), it seems probable that ...
Comprehending the factors that contribute to the establishment of non-native fish species is challenging and not yet thoroughly understood. Many studies have attempted to address this issue by examining environmental adaptation15, life-history strategies16, human activity7, propagule pressure17and function...
Is it lifestyle? Is it the parents’ fault? Is it the schools with their vending machines offering snacks and soft drinks? We all have read such statements. Here is a scoop: overweight is caused by consuming more calories than are burnt through physical activity. Ailments are the results of...
However, at a common temperature of measurement, the less ordered conformations characteristic of cold-adapted orthologs may lead to reduced energy barriers for catalytic conformational changes and, therefore, to higher rates of enzymatic activity (=higher kcat). In the lower half of the figure, ...
(but not starving), resting organisms after acclimation to the experimental temperature and apparatus, isolated from outside stimuli (including sensory stimuli from potential predators and conspecifics, except maybe in gregarious species), during the part of the circadian activity cycle when ṀO2 is ...
