The colonization of two new brackish water habitats on the isle of Texel (the Netherlands)Hydrobiological Bulletin - Tập 18 - Trang 72-72 - 1984
Hans De Kroon, Hans De Jong
As a result of the reconstruction of a dike on the Dutch island of Texel two small areas of the Wadden Sea were embanked in 1977 and 1978. In 1981 both by now blocked brackish waters were investigated for macrofauna and macroflora. The vegetation on these former parts of the Wadden Sea was still in a colonizing state. Many small patches ofRuppia spp. were found, contrary to older brackish waters w...... hiện toàn bộ
Control of microbial growth on eelgrass (Zostera marina L.: Spermatophyta) by leaf-derived metabolitesHydrobiological Bulletin - Tập 16 - Trang 115-115 - 1982
Paul Garth Harrison
The role of minor components of the leaves ofZostera marina L. in altering the activity of micro-organisms directly and indirectly by affecting amphipod grazers was investigated in laboratory experiments. Water-soluble extracts of eelgrass leaves inhibited the growth of many marine bacteria and a micro-alga (Platymonas sp.) at concentrations equivalent to as little as 10 μg dry wt. of leaf.ml−1.

Life history comparisons of Daphnia obtusa from temporary ponds, cultured with a low-quality foodHydrobiological Bulletin - Tập 34 - Trang 19-27 - 2000
M.H. Nix, D.G. Jenkins
Temporary pond Daphnia flourish on relatively poor-quality food, suggesting adaptation to stringent temporary pond conditions. We conducted laboratory life history experiments on populations of Daphnia obtusa from a shaded woodland temporary pond (short hydroperiod, dystrophic) and an open farmland temporary pond (long hydroperiod, eutrophic), and compared a suite of physical/chemical conditions i...... hiện toàn bộ
Exposure time-dependent cadmium toxicity to Moina macrocopa (Cladocera): a life table demographic studyHydrobiological Bulletin - Tập 41 - Trang 639-648 - 2007
José Luis Gama-Flores, S. S. S. Sarma, S. Nandini
In this work, we quantified the life table demographic responses of Moina macrocopa daily exposed to three concentrations, 0, 0.08, 0.16, and 0.32 mg l−1 of CdCl2 for 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. These cadmium levels represented 10–50% of the median lethal concentration known for M. macrocopa. In general, increase in CdCl2 concentration and increase in the exposure time had a negative impact on the both su...... hiện toàn bộ
