Life History Traits and Population Processes in Marine Bivalve Molluscs
In this thesis, I investigated the how the life history characteristics of the clam Mya arenaria determine the population response to chronic contaminant exposure. To predict the potential responses of a broadcast-spawning life history such as that of M. arenaria, I surveyed the literature on a variety of bivalve species. By incorporating information on growth, survival, and reproduction into m...
متن کاملEcology predicts life history evolution in birds
Although a number of studies describe current evolutionary patterns concerning lifehistory evolution, how historical changes in the way organisms interact with their environment have shaped life-history evolution still remains unresolved. In this study, I integrate prospective and retrospective comparative approaches to ask what ecological factors have driven current variation in lifespan of bi...
متن کاملLife history, ecology and longevity in bats.
The evolutionary theory of aging predicts that life span should decrease in response to the amount of mortality caused by extrinsic sources. Using this prediction, we selected six life history and ecological factors to use in a comparative analysis of longevity among 64 bat species. On average, the maximum recorded life span of a bat is 3.5 times greater than a non-flying placental mammal of si...
متن کاملFractal Population Ecology Theory
Abstract Purpose - The aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. Top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...
متن کاملEcology: Electrical Cable Bacteria Save Marine Life
Animals at the bottom of the sea survive oxygen depletion surprisingly often, and a new study identifies cable bacteria in the sediment as the saviors. The bacterial electrical activity creates an iron 'carpet', trapping toxic hydrogen sulfide.
