Convergence of fish communities from the littoral zone of reservoirs
1. Understanding factors that regulate the assembly of communities is a main focus of ecology. Human-engineered habitats, such as reservoirs, may provide insight into these assembly processes because they represent novel habitats that are subjected to colonization by fishes from the surrounding river basin or transported by humans. By contrasting community similarity within and among reservoirs...
متن کاملLittoral zone structures as Daphnia refugia against fish predators
The assumption that macrophytes can provide zooplankton a daytime refuge against fish predation is central to the diel horizontal migration hypothesis. However, previous observations and experiments have shown that largebodied zooplankton avoid macrophytes. To directly test these contrasting roles of macrophytes, we measured the reaction of Daphnia pulex to macrophytes (Elodea canadensis or pla...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal variation in littoral-zone fish communities: a new statistical approach
Through the use of principal coordinates analysis, a technique is presented that allows the quantitative partitioning of the total variation within a data set into its spatial and temporal components. The graphical nature of this technique, in combination with the quantitative results, aids in the examination of specific hypotheses regarding the structure of the variation. These hypotheses are ...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in fish abundance, biomass and species richness in the littoral zone
Seasonal changein the abundance. biornass and species richness of fixh in the littoral zone of Lake Coustancc were examined. Electric fishing was conducted in three depth strata at six different sampling sitc« within the littoral zone from Novem ber ]991 to Fcbruar ]993 during daytime. Minimal abundance and biomaxs values were observed in February with 3.9 (SO ± ..\..2) ind· lOO Ill-" and 12.7...
متن کاملInteractions between Diatoms and Bacteria from phototrophic Biofilms of the littoral Zone of Lake Constance
In this report we describe different combinations of physical separation and antibiotic treatment to remove associated bacteria from freshwater diatoms. Diatoms were purified either from natural epilithic biofilms or from uni-algal cultures. We found that for most strains different purification procedures have to be combined individually. In a new approach we show that for some diatom strains t...
