Predicting the Effects of Coastal Hypoxia on Vital Rates of the Planktonic Copepod Acartia tonsa Dana
We describe a model predicting the effects of low environmental oxygen on vital rates (egg production, somatic growth, and mortality) of the coastal planktonic copepod Acartia tonsa. Hypoxic conditions can result in respiration rate being directly limited by oxygen availability. We hypothesized that A. tonsa egg production, somatic growth, and ingestion rates would all respond in a similar mann...
متن کاملDetrimental effect of peritrich ciliates (Epistylis sp.) as epibionts on the survival of the copepod Acartia bifilosa
Widespread epibiontic relationship is best known as a commensal relationship, but several studies have shown also harmful influences on hosts by epibionts. A laboratory experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of peritrich ciliates (Epistylis sp.) as epibionts on the survival of Acartia bifilosa (Copepoda). Copepods were collected from the Gulf of Riga and the trial was made in seaw...
متن کاملa study on insurer solvency by panel data model: the case of iranian insurance market
the aim of this thesis is an approach for assessing insurer’s solvency for iranian insurance companies. we use of economic data with both time series and cross-sectional variation, thus by using the panel data model will survey the insurer solvency.
Effects of copepod foraging behavior on predation risk: An experimental study of the predatory copepod Pareuchaeta nowegica feeding on Acartia clausi and A. tonsa (Copepoda)
The effect of foraging behavior on predation risk was studied by exposing the two small Calanoid copepods Acartia clausi and Acartia tonsa to 0 or 1 ppm (1,500 cells ml-l) of the diatom Thalassiosira weissfogii and to presence of the predator Pureuchaeta norvegica. In filtered water, predation rate was the same on the two species. In algal suspension, predation rate on A. clausi was half that i...
متن کاملTrophic interaction between copepods and ciliates: effects of prey swimming behavior on predation risk
The transfer of matter and energy in planktonic food webs is determined by the encounter rate between predators and prey and subsequent attack and capture success. We tested if differences in swimming behavior and escape ability of 2 planktonic ciliates could explain differences in their susceptibility to predation from the calanoid copepod Acartia clausi. We chose 2 similarly sized ciliates, w...
