Picocyanobacterial photosynthetic efficiency under Daphnia grazing pressure CRISTIANA CALLIERI*, ESTEBAN BALSEIRO, ROBERTO BERTONI AND BEATRIZ MODENUTTI CNR – INSTITUTE OF ECOSYSTEM STUDY, SECTION OF HYDROBIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF INLAND
Daphnia hyalina was used to assess the impact of zooplankton on the photosynthetic activity of picocyanobacteria. A phosphorus-limited laboratory system was designed, composed of 3m filtered lake water with natural assemblages to which non-axenic Synechococcus sp. was added. Different treatments with and without Daphnia were arranged; aliquots from these were sampled during 3-day incubations to...
متن کاملForum Effects of Grazing Pressure on Efficiency of Grazing on North American Great Plains Rangelands
Comparisons of stocking rates across sites can be facilitated by calculating grazing pressure. We used peak standing crop and stocking rates from six studies in the North American Great Plains (Cheyenne, Wyoming; Cottonwood, South Dakota; Hays, Kansas; Nunn, Colorado; Streeter, North Dakota; and Woodward, Oklahoma) to calculate a grazing pressure index and develop relationships for harvest effi...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic Efficiency as Bioindicator of Environmental Pressure in A. halleri.
In earlier ecophysiological studies that were conducted on Arabidopsis halleri plants, scientists focused on the mechanisms of Cd and Zn hyperaccumulation but did not take into consideration the environmental factors that can significantly affect the physiological responses of plants in situ. In this study, we investigated A. halleri that was growing on two nonmetalliferous and three metallifer...
متن کاملTrophic upgrading of picocyanobacterial carbon by ciliates for nutrition of Daphnia magna
Unicellular picocyanobacteria, such as species of the genus Synechococcus, are unsuitable for supporting growth and reproduction of Daphnia spp. In Synechococcus spp., long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and sterols are absent, which leads to a low carbon transfer efficiency at the picocyanobacteria–Daphnia spp. interface. Herein, we address the question as to whether ciliates can se...
متن کاملOptimal phenology of annual plants under grazing pressure.
Plants show phenological responses to herbivory. Some enclosure experiments have demonstrated that the onset of the peak flowering season is dependent on grazing pressure. We constructed a mathematical model using Pontryargin's maximum principle to investigate changes in flowering time by examining shifts in resource allocation from vegetative to reproductive plant components. We represented a ...
