An Invasive Predator Substantially Alters Energy Flux Without Changing Food Web Functional State or Stability

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Understanding how invasive species affect the stability and function of ecosystems is critical for conservation. Here, we quantified the effect of an actively suppressed invasive species on the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem using a food web energetics approach.

Karyology ofErpobdella PunctataandNephelopsis Obscura(Annelida: Hirudinoidea) [PDF]

open access: yesCaryologia, 1986
SUMMARYMeiosis of Erpobdella punctata and Nephelopsis obscura (Hirudinoidea: Erpobdellidae), has been studied in both testes and ovaries. At prophase I and metaphase I eight bivalents occurred in the majority of the nuclei in E. punctata; eleven in N. obscura. Spermatogonial metaphases showed 16 and 22 chromosomes in E. punctata and N.
