Functional Ecology of the Ciliate Glaucomides bromelicola, and Comparison with the Sympatric Species Bromeliothrix metopoides
We investigated the ecology and life strategy of Glaucomides bromelicola (family Bromeliophryidae), a very common ciliate in the reservoirs (tanks) of bromeliads, assessing its response to food quality and quantity and pH. Further, we conducted competition experiments with the frequently coexisting species Bromeliothrix metopoides (family Colpodidae). In contrast to B. metopoides and many other...
متن کاملEndemic ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) from tank bromeliads (Bromeliaceae): a combined morphological, molecular, and ecological study
At the turn of the millennium, Foissner et al. (2003) discovered a likely specific (endemic) ciliate fauna in tank bromeliads. Ciliates are single-celled organisms (protists) of microscopic size (~15–1000 μm), for instance, the widely known slipper animal (Paramecium). Bromeliads are a group of rosette plants of the Liliidae restricted to Central and South America. The “tanks” (= small bodies o...

Political and industrial factors-beyond the economic headwinds-may be causing public investment in biomedical research to slow down around the world.
متن کاملCredit-Induced Boom and Bust∗
Can a credit expansion induce a boom and bust in house prices and real economic activity? This paper exploits the federal preemption of national banks from local laws against predatory lending to gauge the effect of the supply of credit on the real economy. Specifically, we exploit the heterogeneity in the market share of national banks across counties in 2003 and that in state anti-predatory l...
