We carried out an overview of the studies on traits meiofauna littoral zone lakes to investigate question relating Raunkiaeran shortfall (lack knowledge biological traits). For this purpose, we selected a series keywords associated with response and effect (feeding habits, locomotion substrate relation, body size, shape mass, life history, reproductive strategy, respiration thermal tolerance) c...

Results of four field surveys, conducted from June 2017 to 2018 found that in the Phu Yen coastal water, a total 103 seaweed species have been recorded, increasing number province 133 species, with 81 newly recorded for geographic area. Among 4 belong Cyanobacteria, 38 Rhdophytes, 24 Phaeophytes, and 37 Chlorophytes. The at surveyed sites V1 V9 varies 3 species/site (V3) 83 (V7) on average 27 s...

During 2006 to 2009, two sediment tracer studies were implemented at the mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) to improve our understanding of littoral sediment transport pathways along the ocean margins of the inlet. Science-based data from these tracer studies is being integrated with other analysis methods to evaluate if dredged material can be preferentially placed within the coastal near shore...

Reservoirs exhibit gradients in conditions and resources along the transition from lotic to lentic habitat that may be important to bluegill ecology. The lotic-lentic gradient can be partitioned into three functional zones: the riverine, transitional, and lacustrine zones. We measured catch frequency and length of bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) captured along the periphery of these areas (i.e....

This is an Open distribution, Abstract – Interactions within the food chain are essential to ecosystem ecology. At the same time, very little is known of the trophic relationships between Heteroptera and zooplankton. The aim of this study was to examine the community structure of water bugs in the littoral zone of shallow lakes and their impact on crustacean zooplankton communities. A study on ...

BACKGROUND Carolina bays are elliptic, directionally aligned basins of disputed origin that occur on the Atlantic Coastal Plain from the Delmarva Peninsula to southern Georgia. In southeastern North Carolina, several large, natural, lacustrine systems (i.e., Carolina bay lakes) exist within the geomorphological features known as Carolina bays. Within the current distribution of Carolina bays, B...

Humans have dramatically altered the Great Lakes basin of North America through agricultural practices, urban development, industrial and commercial activities, and introductions of non-native species (Christie et al. 1987, Steedman and Regier 1987, Edsall 1996). Stressors associated with these changes have overwhelmed natural ecosystem processes throughout the basin (Regier and Hartman 1973, S...
