Directional and fluctuating asymmetry in the black-winged damselfly Calopteryx maculata (Beauvois) (Odonata: Calopterygidae)
Directional asymmetry (DA) has received considerably less attention than fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in the literature. Evid ence for D A, howev er, is building am ong insect tax a. We ex amined as ymmetries in two wing traits within both sex es of the dam selfly Calopte ryx mac ulata (Beauvois) (Odonata: Calopterygidae), sampled from three sites in southeastern Ontario. After accounting for mea...
متن کاملNo size or density effect on alternative mate-locating tactics in the tropical damselfly Hetaerina rosea males (Odonata: Calopterygidae).
Males of the damselfly Hetaerina rosea may defend mating sites along river margins (resident males) or, alternatively, wander among different areas presumably searching for mates (nonterritorial males). Although the occurrence of territorial and nonterritorial males of H. rosea is very common in Brazil, studies examining which factors may be responsible for the adoption of alternative mate-loca...
متن کاملSpatial interactions among ecosystem services in an urbanizing agricultural watershed.
Understanding spatial distributions, synergies, and tradeoffs of multiple ecosystem services (benefits people derive from ecosystems) remains challenging. We analyzed the supply of 10 ecosystem services for 2006 across a large urbanizing agricultural watershed in the Upper Midwest of the United States, and asked the following: (i) Where are areas of high and low supply of individual ecosystem s...
متن کاملEffects of stream restoration on denitrification in an urbanizing watershed.
Increased delivery of nitrogen due to urbanization and stream ecosystem degradation is contributing to eutrophication in coastal regions of the eastern United States. We tested whether geomorphic restoration involving hydrologic "reconnection" of a stream to its floodplain could increase rates of denitrification at the riparian-zone-stream interface of an urban stream in Baltimore, Maryland. Ra...
متن کاملEvaluation of Impervious Surface Estimates in a Rapidly Urbanizing Watershed
Accurate measurement of impervious surface (IS) cover is an essential indicator of downstream water quality and a critical input variable for many water quality and quantity models. This study compares IS estimates from a recently developed satellite imagery/land cover approach with a more traditional aerial photography/land use approach. Both approaches are evaluated against a high-quality val...
