Seabirds as indicators of aquatic ecosystem conditions: a case for gathering multiple proxies of seabird health.
The use of seabirds as sentinels of the condition of aquatic ecosystems has been well-established. Large environmental perturbations to aquatic food webs (e.g., chemical contamination, overfishing, particulate pollution) have all been detected or monitored by tracking seabirds at colonies. However, seabirds may elicit more subtle, sublethal responses that can also be used to track ecosystem hea...
متن کاملEcology of seed dormancy and germination of Carex divisa Huds.: Effects of stratification, temperature and salinity
Carex divisa is a patrimonial rhizomatous species and acts as an important component of grazed wet permanent grassland on the French Atlantic coast. This study treated three storage regimes (wet-cold, dry-cold and dry-warm), burial in soil, fluctuating temperature and salinity on seed germination of C. divisa. The seeds were dormant at maturity. No seed germinated after 2 and 6 weeks of dry sto...
متن کاملDiatoms as indicators of wetland salinity in the Upper South East of South Australia
Wetland degradation in the Upper South East of South Australia is an urgent management concern. Scant recent environmental data is available for the region and long term monitoring data is lacking. Usually a palaeoecological analysis is able to reveal environmental change in the medium to long term past. However, the region is not conducive to palaeoecological investigation due to a fluctuating...
متن کاملEffects of increasing salinity on freshwater ecosystems in Australia
Salt is a natural component of the Australian landscape to which a number of biota inhabiting rivers and wetlands are adapted. Under natural flow conditions periods of low flow have resulted in the concentration of salts in wetlands and riverine pools. The organisms of these systems survive these salinities by tolerance or avoidance. Freshwater ecosystems in Australia are now becoming increasin...
متن کاملData-Driven Privacy Indicators
Third party applications work on top of existing platforms that host users’ data. Although these apps access this data to provide users with specific services, they can also use it for monetization or profiling purposes. In practice, there is a significant gap between users’ privacy expectations and the actual access levels of 3rd party apps, which are often over-privileged. Due to weaknesses i...
