The invasion window for warmwater fish in clearwater lakes: the role of ultraviolet radiation and temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim In clear, cold-water lakes, ultraviolet radiation (UV) and temperature are two important stressors that may prevent the establishment of aquatic invasive species by inhibiting the survival of sensitive early life history stages. In this study, we develop a UV–temperature response model to predict the establishment potential of a warmwater fish, largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), in a large subalpine lake based on the ability of bass larvae to tolerate UV and temperature stress along a UV–temperature stress gradient.

Climatic warming and regime shifts in lake food webs—some comments
In a recent issue of Limnology and Oceanography, Schef-fer et al. (2001) argued that ''the probability of clear water phases increases with increasing lake water temperature in shallow lakes and that small decreases in temperature may create a shift to a turbid state and an increase to a clearwater state.'' They based their evidence on a correlation between a defined clearwater state and the wi...
متن کاملWarmwater Fish in Small Standing Waters
This chapter describes standardized sampling techniques for routine monitoring and population assessment of warmwater sport and prey fishes in small standing water bodies. Although water temperature regulates growth, survival, and reproduction of fishes, there are no specific criteria that define a warmwater fish community. Dodds (2002) noted that warmwater fish communities tend to be dominated...
متن کاملDisentangling the effects of a century of eutrophication and climate warming on freshwater lake fish assemblages
Eutrophication and climate warming are profoundly affecting fish in many freshwater lakes. Understanding the specific effects of these stressors is critical for development of effective adaptation and remediation strategies for conserving fish populations in a changing environment. Ecological niche models that incorporated the individual effects of nutrient concentration and climate were develo...
متن کاملConvergent evolution of SWS2 opsin facilitates adaptive radiation of threespine stickleback into different light environments
Repeated adaptation to a new environment often leads to convergent phenotypic changes whose underlying genetic mechanisms are rarely known. Here, we study adaptation of color vision in threespine stickleback during the repeated postglacial colonization of clearwater and blackwater lakes in the Haida Gwaii archipelago. We use whole genomes from 16 clearwater and 12 blackwater populations, and a ...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide and organic compounds removal in municipal wastewater using ferrate (VI) and ultraviolet radiation
Background: In this study, ferrate (VI) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation were employed to remove hydrogen sulfide from municipal wastewater resulting in a reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD). Although ferrate (VI) and UV have been used individually for the removal of a few pollutants from urban and industrial wastewater, there exists no study to investigate the effectiveness of si...
