Salinity represents a major structuring factor in aquatic habitats which strongly affects species richness. We studied the relationships among richness, density and phylogenetic diversity of zooplankton communities along natural salinity gradient astatic soda pans Carpathian Basin (Hungary, Austria Serbia). Diversity showed opposing trends gradient. The most saline had one or two only, with maximum densities well above 1000 ind l −1 . Similarity increased salinity, highly being dominated by...
Despite the high conservation value of intermittent soda pans, these habitats were mostly targeted by small-scale studies and little is known about their microscopic fauna. We sampled all remaining 110 representatives this habitat type (including recently restored ones) in Europe an area covering approximately 125 000 km2. analyzed spring summer zooplankton species composition including rotifers, copepods, cladocerans. found 105 Rotifera, 26 Cladocera, Copepoda taxa, with local richness...
Neurodegenerative diseases are linked to a systemic enzyme resistance of toxic aggregated molecules and their pathological consequences. This paper presents unique phenomenon that Philodina acuticornis, bdelloid rotifer, is able catabolize different types neurotoxic peptide protein aggregates (such as beta-amyloids /Aβ/, alpha-synuclein, prion) without suffering any damage. P. acuticornis capable using these an exclusive energy source (i.e., 'food', identified in the digestive system body)...
With the intensification of aquaculture technologies, amount feed input and waste material is increasing, creating potentially negative impacts on freshwater habitats receiving effluent from such systems. Changes in biodiversity zooplankton communities often used to assess effects impacts. Rotifers are suitable for bioindication water quality due their fast reaction environmental changes. We examined seasonal changes diversity rotifer along a 3.5 km section biggest oxbow lake Tisza River...
Abstract Expertise in biodiversity research (taxonomy, faunistics, conservation with taxonomic background) appears to decline worldwide. While the “taxonomic impediment” is discussed extensively literature, much fewer papers focus on identification crisis, i.e., decreasing number of experts who can identify species, and species-based research. As a test case explore gravity we chose Hungary, Central European country strong history comprehensive expertise output. We set out answer two main...
The chemical ecology of rotifers has been little studied. A yet unknown property is presented within some monogonant rotifers, namely the ability to produce an exogenic filamentous biopolymer, named 'Rotimer'. This rotifer-specific viscoelastic fiber was observed in six different freshwater monogonants (Euchlanis dilatata, Lecane bulla, Lepadella patella, Itura aurita, Colurella adriatica and Trichocerca iernis) exception four species. Induction Rotimer secretion can only be achieved by...
Several shallow saline waters can be found in Central Asia arid steppe climate, but our knowledge of their zooplankton community has been so far rather limited. The aim research was to provide data on the a large-scale regional study. Therefore, baseline survey carried out 23 inland different salinity Northern Kazakhstan. We measured quantity and identified taxonomic composition spring period examined changes structure correlation with salinity. Lesser salt concentration...
With the intensification of aquaculture, structure and dynamics aquatic ecosystems are highly affected. At same time, for a pond fish farmer, one most important tasks is to establish maintain stable favourable zooplankton populations. In this paper, we assess effects different supplementary feed types on communities in freshwater fishponds. an outdoor, experimental fishpond system, carp individuals 2+ years age were stocked fed with either fishmeal-based diet (FF), plant meal containing (PF)...
The results of cage breeding sturgeon hybrids in the third fish farming zone’s climatic conditions are given. It is also shown achieved and biological features, dynamics growth rate, viability object possibility stocking material hybrid providing certain technological conditions.
The growth of the human population brought about global intensification aquacultural production, and aquaculture became fastest growing animal husbandry sector. Effluent from is an anthropogenic environmental burden, containing organic matter, nutrients suspended solids that affect water quality especially in bodies high biodiversity conservation value. Water assessment often relies on bioindicators, analysing changes taxonomic diversity various freshwater organismal groups. Stepping beyond...
Vizeinket számos diffúz és pontszerű szennyezőforrás veszélyezteti. Az ezek okozta vízminőségi változások nyomon követésére az egyik legmegfelelőbb a vízi ökoszisztémák biológiai komponenseinek vizsgálata, mivel regenerálódása sokszor lassabb, mint ahogy szennyezőanyag eltűnik vízből. A vizsgálatok módszereként, mintavételek során tömörített mintákat formalinnal tartósítottuk, majd mikroszkóppal mennyiségi minőségi feldolgozást végeztünk laboratóriumban. zooplankton szolgáltatta információk...
