Resilience of aquatic net-spinning caddisfly silk structures to common global stressors
1. Two of the most common consequences resulting from land use and climate change are increased fine sediment loads and shifts in hydrological regimes in freshwater ecosystems. 2. Although a growing number of studies indicate that these stressors are likely to directly affect community composition and organism physiology, little is known about how biological structures produced by aquatic organ...
متن کاملExamination of Riffle Beds and Their Relationship to the Net-spinning Caddisfly (stenopsyche Marmorata)
The objective of the study is to improve the understanding of relationships between multiple spatial scales and the development of micro-habitat as well as its co-dependence with the net-spinning caddisfly (Stenopsyche mamorada). In this study, two target riffles located in the Asa River basin were investigated during the spring of 2006. Three major findings of this research were that; 1. the t...
متن کاملManagement of Local Stressors Can Improve the Resilience of Marine Canopy Algae to Global Stressors
Coastal systems are increasingly threatened by multiple local anthropogenic and global climatic stressors. With the difficulties in remediating global stressors, management requires alternative approaches that focus on local scales. We used manipulative experiments to test whether reducing local stressors (sediment load and nutrient concentrations) can improve the resilience of foundation speci...
متن کاملAdaptation of caddisfly larval silks to aquatic habitats by phosphorylation of h-fibroin serines.
Aquatic caddisflies diverged from a silk-spinning ancestor shared with terrestrial moths and butterflies. Caddisfly larva spin adhesive silk underwater to construct protective shelters with adventitiously gathered materials. A repeating (SX)(n) motif conserved in the H-fibroin of several caddisfly species is densely phosphorylated. In total, more than half of the serines in caddisfly silk may b...
متن کاملToward spinning artificial spider silk.
Spider silk is strong and extensible but still biodegradable and well tolerated when implanted, making it the ultimate biomaterial. Shortcomings that arise in replicating spider silk are due to the use of recombinant spider silk proteins (spidroins) that lack native domains, the use of denaturing conditions under purification and spinning and the fact that the understanding of how spiders contr...
