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 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...
متن کاملNet spinning caddisflies as stream ecosystem engineers: the influence of Hydropsyche on benthic substrate stability
1. Organisms that physically modify or create habitat ( ecosystem engineers ) can have a profound influence on community and ecosystem dynamics. 2. Here evidence is presented that one of the most abundant and widely distributed lotic insects could act as an ecosystem engineer in streams by increasing the stability of benthic substrates during flooding. 3. Natural densities of larval net spinnin...
متن کاملOpen channel hydraulics
This course of 15 lectures provides an introduction to open channel hydraulics, the generic name for the study of flows in rivers, canals, and sewers, where the distinguishing characteristic is that the surface is unconfined. This means that the location of the surface is also part of the problem, and allows for the existence of waves – generally making things more interesting! At the conclusio...
