Feeding deterrent and toxicity effects of apo-fucoxanthinoids and phycotoxins on a marine copepod (Tigriopus californicus)Marine Biology - Tập 128 - Trang 273-280 - 1997
B. A. Shaw, R. J. Andersen, P. J. Harrison
Using the marine harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus californicus, the effects of phytoplankton feeding deterrents and toxins were differentiated and measured. Eight compounds were tested for feeding deterrence and toxicity responses: four apo-fucoxanthinoids (apo-10′-fucoxanthinal, apo-12′-fucoxanthinal, apo-12-fucoxanthinal, and apo-13′-fucoxanthinone) and four well-known phycotoxins (domoic acid, o...... hiện toàn bộ
Stylochus mediterraneus (Turbellaria: Polycladida), predator on the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialisMarine Biology - Tập 55 - Trang 317-326 - 1980
L. Galleni, P. Tongiorgi, E. Ferrero, U. Salghetti
The polyclad Stylochus mediterraneus Galleni has been found associated with the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk., on which it feeds. Polyclads allowed to feed freely on groups of mussels of different sizes preyed mainly on small mussels <25 mm in length. The predation rate (number of mussels eaten per no. of polyclads per no. of days) ranged between 0.07 and 0.33. The average amount of food i...... hiện toàn bộ
Zooplankton of tikehau atoll (Tuamotu archipelago) and its relationship to particulate matterMarine Biology - Tập 102 - Trang 341-353 - 1989
R. Le Borgne, J. Blanchot, L. Charpy
The standing stock and taxonomic composition of zooplankton (>200 μm) were monitored in the lagoon of Tikehau atoll from April 1985 to April 1986. These data were supplemented by two 10 d studies on the variability, structure and functioning of the pelagic ecosystem. The biomass of animals >200 μm comprised 50% of the total biomass of all organisms from 35 to >2000 μm. The zooplankton populations ...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatio-temporal variations of biomass and abundance in bathyal non-crustacean megafauna in the Catalan Sea (North-western Mediterranean)Marine Biology - Tập 153 - Trang 297-309 - 2007
Eva Ramírez-Llodra, Manuel Ballesteros, Joan B. Company, Luis Dantart, Francisco Sardà
The spatio-temporal variations in diversity, biomass and abundance of bathyal invertebrates (excluding decapod crustaceans, which have been analysed elsewhere) from the North-western Mediterranean margin are described. The upper canyon (∼450 m), middle slope (∼650 m) and lower slope (∼1,200 m) habitats were investigated throughout the year. The first two sites are visited daily by a specialised co...... hiện toàn bộ
