Trophic interactions among three elasmobranch species coexisting in the Oman Sea: implications for resource partitioning
In this study, trophic interactions were studied among three elasmobranches including Iago omanensis, Rhinobatos punctifer and Torpedo sinuspersici coexisting in the depth ranging from 50 to 100 meters in the Oman Sea (Sistan and Balochistan waters). A total of 238 specimens were collected using industrial bottom trawlers of ‘FERDOWS’ during spring and summer,2014 and their stomach contents wer...
متن کاملComplex Trophic Interactions in Kelp Forest Ecosystems
The distributions and abundances of species and populations change almost continuously. Understanding the processes responsible is perhaps ecology s̓ most fundamental challenge. Kelp-forest ecosystems in southwest Alaska have undergone several phase shifts between algaand herbivore-dominated states in recent decades. Overhunting and recovery of sea otters caused the earlier shifts. Studies focus...
متن کاملEcological constraints on planktonic nitrogen fixation in saline estuaries. I. Nutrient and trophic controls
Heterocystous, planktonic cyanobacteria capable of fixing atmospheric N2 into available nitrogen (N) are common and critically important to nutrient cycling in many lakes, yet they are rarely observed in estuaries at salinities >10 ppt, even when strongly N limited. In a series of mesocosm experiments using water from Narragansett Bay (Rhode Island), we manipulated top-down (grazing) and bottom...
متن کاملLandscape variation influences trophic cascades in dengue vector food webs
The epidemiology of vector-borne diseases is governed by a structured array of correlative and causative factors, including landscape (for example, rural versus urban), abiotic (for example, weather), and biotic (for example, food web) factors. Studies of mosquito-borne diseases rarely address these multiple factors at large spatial scales, which limits insights into how human alterations of la...
متن کاملCharacterization of turbidity in Florida's Lake Okeechobee and Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries using MODIS-Aqua measurements.
This paper describes the use of ocean color remote sensing data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Aqua satellite to characterize turbidity in Lake Okeechobee and its primary drainage basins, the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries from 2002 to 2010. Drainage modification and agricultural development in southern Florida transport sediments and nutrient...
