Dynamics and Feeding Activity of High-Density Aggregations of Oreaster reticulatus (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in a Sand Patch Habitat
Aggregations of Oreaster reticulatus (L.) in a large sand patch amid an offshore seagrass bed (Syringodium filiforme) off St. Croix (US Virgin Islands) were characterized by protracted fronts of high density (2-7 individuals m-2). Fronts mlgrated across the sand patch at approximately 7 m d-l and were refracted and deflected at the grassbed border. Intensive microphagous feeding effected a 2-fo...
متن کاملAnnual reproductive cycle, spatial distribution, abundance, and size structure of Oreaster reticulatus (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in Bocas del Toro, Panama
The structure, distribution, and population abundance of Oreaster reticulatus (Linnaeus, 1758) in 47,157 ha of shallow-water habitat in the archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama, were assessed from May to October 2000. The reproductive cycle of the sea star was studied in Isla Solarte, from February 2000 to February 2001. In total, 4,818 sea stars were recorded with a mean density of 149.7 ind....

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
