Bacterial responses to environmental herbicide pollutants (glyphosate and paraquat)
The toxic effect of herbicides on non- target microorganisms may influence degradation of organic matter resulting in changes to nutrient cycling. In the present study, different strains of bacteria incubated in media containing different concentrations of glyphosate and paraquat were assessed over a period of two incubation terms. The deleterious impact of the herbicide was observed as glyphos...
متن کاملEnvironmental stochasticity and the speed of evolution
Biological populations are subject to two types of noise: demographic stochasticity due to fluctuations in the reproductive success of individuals, and environmental variations that affect coherently the relative fitness of all individuals in the same clone. The rate in which the average fitness of a population increases has been considered so far using models with pure demographic stochasticit...
متن کاملEnvironmental stochasticity controls soil erosion variability.
Understanding soil erosion by water is essential for a range of research areas but the predictive skill of prognostic models has been repeatedly questioned because of scale limitations of empirical data and the high variability of soil loss across space and time scales. Improved understanding of the underlying processes and their interactions are needed to infer scaling properties of soil loss ...
متن کاملOvercompensatory response of a smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) population to harvest: release from competition?
An intensive seven-year removal of adult, juvenile, and young-of-the-year smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) from a north temperate lake (Little Moose Lake, New York, USA) resulted in an increase in overall population abundance, primarily due to increased abundance of immature individuals. We developed a density-dependent, stage-structured model to examine conditions under which population ...
متن کاملNonlinearity and Stochasticity in Population Dynamics
Theoretical studies of population dynamics and ecological interactions tend to focus on asymptotic attractors of mathematical models. Modeling and experimental studies show, however, that even in controlled laboratory conditions the attractors of mathematical models are likely to be insufficient to explain observed temporal patterns in data. Instead, one is more likely to see a collage of many ...
