Effect of prey selectivity and trophic cascades induced by mesozooplankton on the dynamics of phytoplankton

open access: yesMarine Ecology - Progress Series, 2021
Mesozooplankton are key components in the marine environment, linking the microbial food web and the classic food chain. Yet uncertainties remain on how mesozooplankton mediate the dynamics of prey communities through their complex feeding patterns. To examine mesozooplankton-mediated trophic interactions, we performed shipboard incubations using food ...

Trophic status and feeding selectivity of blennies (Blenniidae: Salariini)

Marine Biology, 2000
An evaluation of the dietary resources available to, and selected by, blennies of the tribe Salariini was used to assess their trophic status on the Great Barrier Reef. Gut-content analysis of nine species of blennies found detrital aggregates to be the dominant item ingested. Samples of the dietary resources available to one of these species, Salarias

Levels and Trophic Transfer of Selected Pesticides in the Lake Ziway Ecosystem

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2022
The levels of 30 selected pesticides and trophic biomagnification of DDT were investigated in biota samples of the Lake Ziway in the Rift valley region, Ethiopia. Carbon source and trophic position were calculated by using 13C and 15N stable isotopes, individually, and trophic magnification factors (TMFs) were inferred.

Hopf-Bifurcation and Pattern Selections in a Three Trophic Level Food Web System

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2022
The ecosystem comprises many food webs, and their existence is directly dependent upon the growth rate of primary prey; it balances the whole ecosystem. This paper studies the temporal and spatiotemporal dynamics of three trophic levels of food web system, consisting of two preys and two predators.

Estimation of the trophic status of selected Kazakhstan lakes

Russian Journal of General Chemistry, 2014
The trophic status of seven Kazakhstan lakes has been estimated basing on the data on total phosphorus content in the water. The estimated trophic status varies widely, from the oligotrophic-mesotrophic to the eutrophic-hypereutrophic ones.

Dexamethasone selectively suppresses microglial trophic responses to hippocampal deafferentation

Neuroscience, 1999
Hippocampal deafferentation increases the expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 by microglia, and of ciliary neurotrophic factor and basic fibroblast growth factor by astroglia in fields and periods of reactive axonal growth. Glucocorticoids attenuate lesion-induced hippocampal sprouting, possibly by reducing trophic signals that stimulate growth.

Sparse modeling for climate variable selection across trophic levels

Ecology
AbstractUnderstanding how populations respond to climate is fundamentally important to many questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Climate is complex and multifaceted, with aspects affecting populations in different and sometimes unexpected ways. Thus, when measuring the changing climate it is important to consider the complexity of
