Potassium and Rubidium Uptake in Freshwater Bivalves
Potassium transport characteristics were investigated in three species of freshwater bivalves: a corbiculid, Corbiculafluminea, and two unionids, Carunculina texasensis and Ligumia subrostrata. Using K, all three were found to take up potassium from dilute artificial pondwater ([K] about O.OSmmolP). The influx (7i) was 0.72/iequivg"drytissueh^ in the corbiculid, significantly higher than the va...
متن کاملChemical and mechanical bioerosion of boring sponges from Mexican Pacific coral reefs.
Species richness (S) and frequency of invasion (IF) by boring sponges on living colonies of Pocillopora spp. from National Park Isla Isabel (México, East Pacific Ocean) are presented. Twelve species belonging to the genera Aka, Cliona, Pione, Thoosa and Spheciospongia were found, and 56% of coral colonies were invaded by boring sponges, with Cliona vermifera Hancock 1867 being the most abundant...
متن کاملPredator-Prey Interactions between Shell-Boring Beetle Larvae and Rock-Dwelling Land Snails
Drilus beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are specialized predators of land snails. Here, we describe various aspects of the predator-prey interactions between multiple Drilus species attacking multiple Albinaria (Gastropoda: Clausiliidae) species in Greece. We observe that Drilus species may be facultative or obligate Albinaria-specialists. We map geographically varying predation rates in ...
متن کاملSoil inoculation with symbiotic microorganisms promotes plant growth and nutrient transporter genes expression in durum wheat
In a field experiment conducted in a Mediterranean area of inner Sicily, durum wheat was inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or with both to evaluate their effects on nutrient uptake, plant growth, and the expression of key transporter genes involved in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) uptake. These biotic associations were studie...
متن کاملChemical versus mechanical bioerosion of coral reefs by boring sponges--lessons from Pione cf. vastifica.
Bioerosion by boring sponges is an important mechanism shaping the structure of coral reefs all around the world. To determine the excavation rate by boring sponges, we developed a system in which chemical and mechanical boring rates [calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) dissolution and chip production, respectively] were measured simultaneously in experimental tanks containing reefal rock inhabited by ...
