متن کاملNet spinning caddisflies as stream ecosystem engineers: the influence of Hydropsyche on benthic substrate stability
1. Organisms that physically modify or create habitat ( ecosystem engineers ) can have a profound influence on community and ecosystem dynamics. 2. Here evidence is presented that one of the most abundant and widely distributed lotic insects could act as an ecosystem engineer in streams by increasing the stability of benthic substrates during flooding. 3. Natural densities of larval net spinnin...
متن کاملRadioactive Iodine as an Indicator of the Metabolism of Iodine
According to Harington, two fractions, one “thyroxine-like” and the other “diiodotyrosine-like,” can account for all of the organic iodine found in the thyroid gland (1). The metabolism of these compounds has been reviewed recently by Salter (2). The labeling of iodine by radioactivity provides for the first time a desirable tool for the study of the endogenous or normal rates of formation of t...
متن کاملRadioactive Iodine as an Indicator of the Metabolism of Iodine
The early discovery that physiological activity’in the thyroid gland was associated with an iodoprotein (1, 2) led logically to investigations of the physiological effects and chemical properties of various proteins or protein fractions that had been subjected to artificial iodination. In 193334, Abelin et al. observed physiological effects resembling those produced by the thyroid gland after t...
متن کاملEffects of Consumer Interactions on Benthic Resources and Ecosystem Processes in a Neotropical Stream
The effect of consumers on their resources has been demonstrated in many systems but is often confounded by trophic interactions with other consumers. Consumers may also have behavioral and life history adaptations to each other and to co-occurring predators that may additionally modulate their particular roles in ecosystems. We experimentally excluded large consumers from tile periphyton, leav...
