Features of phytoplankton community in the southern Caspian Sea, a decade after the invasion of Mnemiopsis leidyi
Phytoplankton study has become more significant in the Caspian Sea due to the occurrence of ecological events such as algal blooms and the introduction of the invader species(Ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi). A seasonal study was conducted to investigate the features of phytoplankton community one decade after this invasion in the Iranian coast of Caspian Sea during 2009-2010. According to the re...

متن کاملImmunohistochemical analysis of adhesive papillae of Clavelina lepadiformis (Müller, 1776) and Clavelina phlegraea (Salfi, 1929) (Tunicata, Ascidiacea)
Almost all ascidian larvae bear three mucus secreting and sensory organs, the adhesive papillae, at the anterior end of the trunk, which play an important role during the settlement phase. The morphology and the cellular composition of these organs varies greatly in the different species. The larvae of the Clavelina genus bear simple bulbous papillae, which are considered to have only a secreto...
متن کاملIntroducing a Population into a Steady Community: The Critical Case, the Center Manifold, and the Direction of Bifurcation
In this paper we study deterministic, finite dimensional, continuous, as well as discrete time population invasion models. The ability of a newly introduced population, either a new species or a reproductively isolated subpopulation of one of the already present species, to settle in the community relies upon the basic reproduction ratio of the invader, R0. When R0 exceeds 1, the invading popul...
متن کاملHabitat niche breadth predicts invasiveness in solitary ascidians
A major focus of invasion biology is understanding the traits associated with introduction success. Most studies assess these traits in the invaded region, while only few compare nonindigenous species to the pool of potential invaders in their native region. We focused on the niche breadth hypothesis, commonly evoked but seldom tested, which states that generalist species are more likely to bec...
