two fish. In the wild, kittiwakes have to learn to look for particular colours and patterns in the ocean to find the best place to fish. The researchers tried to recreate this for the captive birds by making them search for their food among a chequerboard of different coloured bowls. Chicks on the unrestricted fatty diet quickly learned which bowls contained food, but chicks on lean rations wer...
متن کاملBivalves as indicators of environmental variation and potential anthropogenic impacts in the southern Barents Sea.
Identifying patterns and drivers of natural variability in populations is necessary to gauge potential effects of climatic change and the expected increases in commercial activities in the Arctic on communities and ecosystems. We analyzed growth rates and shell geochemistry of the circumpolar Greenland smooth cockle, Serripes groenlandicus, from the southern Barents Sea over almost 70 years bet...
متن کاملGeneralist Entomopathogens as Biological Indicators of Deforestation and Agricultural Land Use Impacts on Waikato Soils
New Zealand Journal of Ecology (1998) 22(2): 189-196 ©New Zealand Ecological Society limitation on the sustainability of pastoral land use in New Zealand and this issue has been heightened by recent resource management legislation (Blaschke et al., 1992). In contrast, there have been few investigations on the effects of forest removal on the New Zealand soil fauna (Yeates, 1991). Contraction in...
متن کاملEchinoderms Have Bilateral Tendencies
Echinoderms take many forms of symmetry. Pentameral symmetry is the major form and the other forms are derived from it. However, the ancestors of echinoderms, which originated from Cambrian period, were believed to be bilaterians. Echinoderm larvae are bilateral during their early development. During embryonic development of starfish and sea urchins, the position and the developmental sequence ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides in Echinoderms
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important immune effector molecules for invertebrates, including echinoderms, which lack a vertebrate-type adaptive immune system. Here we summarize the knowledge of such peptides in echinoderms. Strongylocins are a novel family of cysteine-rich AMPs, recently identified in the sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and S. purpuratus. Although these mol...
