Dietary patterns and quality in West-African immigrants in Madrid
BACKGROUND Eating patterns of immigrants deserve to be better documented because they may reflect the extent of acculturation and associated health risks. The study assessed dietary patterns and quality in Bubi immigrants (from Equatorial Guinea) using cluster analysis and comparing different diet quality indexes. METHODS A random sample of 83 Bubi men and 130 women living in Madrid were stud...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Migration Patterns of Pacific Salmon Smolts in Rivers and Coastal Marine Waters
BACKGROUND Migrations allow animals to find food resources, rearing habitats, or mates, but often impose considerable predation risk. Several behavioural strategies may reduce this risk, including faster travel speed and taking routes with shorter total distance. Descriptions of the natural range of variation in migration strategies among individuals and populations is necessary before the ecol...
متن کاملNursery Function Drives Temporal Patterns in Fish Assemblage Structure in Four Tropical Estuaries
Despite estuary-to-estuary differences in assemblage composition, fish faunas of tropical IndoPacific estuaries show parallel patterns of temporal change, suggesting a common set of ecological drivers. One potentially important driver is the interaction of different patterns of occupancy by functional groups that display different life-history patterns. However, most studies that have considere...
متن کاملAn Aquatic Insect Imaging System
Population counts of aquatic insects are a valuable tool for monitoring the water quality of rivers and streams. However, the handling of samples in the lab for species identification is time consuming and requires specially trained experts. An aquatic insect imaging system was designed as part of a system to automate aquatic insect classification and was tested using several species and size c...
متن کاملDeveloping reference criteria for the ecological status of West African rivers
Awareness of sustainable management of water and its biological resources is rising in West Africa, but application of effective tools for biomonitoring and detecting habitats at risk in aquatic ecosystems is limited. In this study, we provide key environmental descriptors to characterize reference sites by applying the following "a priori criteria" (physical and chemical, hydro-morphological, ...
