Life history variation in the gastropod genus Lavigeria (Thiaridae) of Lake Tanganyika Note: this text is an English translation of the paper
ثبت نشده
چکیده
For example among the gastropods 80% of the species found in the lake are endemic. Most diversity is displayed in the family Thiaridae. The genus Lavigeria it is the most common thiarid genus and at the same time the most diverse (Michel 1995). It has an estimated species diversity of 20 or more endemic species (Michel & Todd, in prep). The often sympatric species show many shell morphological and genetic differences though they are phylogenetically closely related (Michel 1995, Michel in press, Michel & Todd in prep.).

Do gastropod abundances and distributions vary in relation to primary productivity and site complexity? Student: Brittany Huntington Mentor:
Population ecology incorporates a variety of foundational tenets that aid in understanding community structure and biodiversity of organisms in the natural world. For example, it has been observed that increasing the habitat and environmental complexity is correlated with increasing species diversity (Rosenzweig, 1995). Lake Tanganyika, in central East Africa, represents an ideal system to test...

Parasites can exert strong control on their hosts, influencing behavior, fertility, and mortality (Jokela & Lively 1994; Levri & Lively 1996). In areas where parasitism is common, parasites are likely to be important agents of natural selection and significantly affect host distributions. If the selective pressure is strong enough and if there are environmental variables that produce patterns i...

The humanist mission of translation is believed to be rooted in the universal humane urge to spread knowledge and to eliminate misunderstanding among people as well as to generate a broader space for communication. What is absent from this philanthropist definition is the workings of power and the political agendas that influence the translator's stance and his/her interpretation of the text th...
