Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Head morphology and diet of whiptail catfishes (Loricariidae: Loricariinae) [PDF]
Neotropical IchthyologyAdaptations in the head structures of fishes can influence food item selection and consumption in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we tested the relationship between the morphology of the bony structure of the head (suspensorium, mandibular, hyoid, and

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 Hot springs are characterised by water temperatures above 36.7 °C. Temperature decreases with distance in flow away from spring vents; this natural gradient provides a unique opportunity to investigate the influence of water temperature on aquatic biota.

Drivers of copper sensitivity in copepods: A meta-analysis of LC50s
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Copper is both an essential trace element and a potent pesticide. The use of copper as an antifoulant has increased in the last decades in line with the expanding aquaculture and shipping industries.

A decade of studies at Loch Fleet, Galloway (Scotland): A catchment liming project and restoration of a brown trout fishery [PDF]
, 1995 Loch Fleet is a small upland lake in the hills of Galloway in southwest Scotland. In the 1970s the waters of the loch became more acidic and a brown trout fishery failed. This account summarises an experimental project, the "Loch Fleet Project" initiated

The importance of periodic droughts for maintaining diversity in the freshwater environment [PDF]
, 1996 Whereas some species may rely on periodic drought conditions for part of their life histories, or have life strategies suited to exploiting the habitat or changed environmental conditions that are created by drought, for other organisms it is a time of ...

Constraints on the functional trait space of aquatic invertebrates in bromeliads
Functional Ecology, 2018 Functional traits are commonly used in predictive models that link environmental drivers and community structure to ecosystem functioning. A prerequisite is to identify robust sets of continuous axes of trait variation, and to understand the ecological ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.
