Reproductive cycles in tropical intertidal gastropods are timed around tidal amplitude cycles
Reproduction in iteroparous marine organisms is often timed with abiotic cycles and may follow lunar, tidal amplitude, or daily cycles. Among intertidal marine invertebrates, decapods are well known to time larval release to coincide with large amplitude nighttime tides, which minimizes the risk of predation. Such bimonthly cycles have been reported for few other intertidal invertebrates. We do...
متن کاملSemilunar Reproductive Cycles in Fundulus Heteroclitus (pisces: Cyprinodontidae) in an Area without Lunar Tidal Cycles
Although lunar spawning rhythms are relatively common in species of shallow-water fish, semilunar reproductive cycles have been reported in a small but growing number of species (Korringa 1947; Johannes 1978). Species with the best documented semilunar gonad and spawning cycles include the California grunion. LeurestMs tenuis, (Clark 1925); Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia, (Middaugh 1981)...
متن کاملThe Effect of Intercourse around Embryo Transfer on Pregnancy Rate in Assisted Reproductive Technology Cycles
Background Implantation failure is the most important cause of recurrent in vitro fertilization/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) failure. Several reports suggest that intercourse during the peritransfer period might improve pregnancy rates. This study is designed to determine whether intercourse during the peritransfer period will improve pregnancy and implantation rates in patients...
متن کاملThe Influence of Tidal and Rainfall Cycles on Intertidal Nematodes: a Case Study in a Tropical Sandy Beach
The present study describes the nematode assemblage of the bay of Tamandaré (Brazil), a tropical sandy beach, during the low, flood, high and ebb tides of two consecutive tidal cycles in four different months of the year (May, July, September and November). The nematode assemblage was dominated by Metachromadora and Perepsilonema and varied significantly between months and tides. Densities were...
متن کاملFast detection of cycles in timed automata
We propose a new efficient algorithm for detecting if a cycle in a timed automaton can be iterated infinitely often. Existing methods for this problem have a complexity which is exponential in the number of clocks. Our method is polynomial: it essentially does a logarithmic number of zone canonicalizations. This method can be incorporated in algorithms for verifying Büchi properties on timed au...
