Abstract. Eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) are among the most productive marine ecosystems on Earth. The production of organic material is fueled by nutrient-rich deep waters and high incident light at sea surface. However, biotic abiotic factors can modify surface related biogeochemical processes. Determining these important because EBUS considered hotspots climate change, reliable predictions their future functioning requires understanding mechanisms driving cycles therein. In...
High precision, high coverage DNA-based diet analysis tools allow greater insight into the food web interactions of cryptic taxa. We used DNA faecal-metabarcoding to look for unrecorded taxa within a generalist centrally-placed predator, little penguin Eudyptula minor. examined 208 scats from 106 breeding pairs throughout August-February in large colony at Phillip Island, Australia. While we confirmed largely piscivorous diet, also recovered sequences gelatinous and crustaceous plankton...
Landscape conversion by humans may have detrimental effects on animal populations inhabiting managed ecosystems, but human-altered areas also provide suitable environments for tolerant species. We investigated the spatial ecology of a highly mobile nocturnal avian species-the red-necked nightjar (Caprimulgus ruficollis)-in two contrastingly in Southwestern Spain to management recommendations species having multiple habitat requirements. Based use radiotagged nightjars, we created maps...
Abstract Detecting changes in marine food webs is challenging, but top predators can provide information on lower trophic levels. However, many commonly measured predator responses be decoupled from prey availability by plasticity foraging effort. This overcome directly measuring effort and success integrating these into a measure of efficiency analogous to the catch per unit (CPUE) index employed fisheries. We extended existing CPUE methods so that they would applicable study generalist...
Detection is essential to studying and monitoring wild animals; however, detection challenging for small endotherms that are nocturnal or best detected at night. Techniques such as trapping spotlighting disturb focal species, the effectiveness of can be limited cryptic resulting in low rates hinder our ability monitor study some Thermal scanners detect infrared wavelengths not otherwise visible humans. With improvements equipment size cost, thermal have emerged a valuable tool passive...
Landscape change provides a suitable framework for investigating population-level responses to novel ecological pressures. However, relatively little attention has been paid examine the potential influence of landscape on geographic scale population differentiation. Here, we tested morphological differentiation red-necked nightjars Caprimulgus ruficollis breeding in managed property and natural reserve situated less than 10 km apart. At both sites, also estimated site fidelity over 5 years...
Harmful Algal Blooms are increasing worldwide problems observed in inshore ecosystems, which support a growing anthropogenic activity that impacts on resources. Results of seasonal and interannual variability toxic phytoplankton four bays the Peruvian sea (Sechura 04°S, Samanco 09°S, Miraflores 12°S Paracas 14°S), shown during spring summer from 2012 to 2015. Toxic species such as Pseudo- nitzschia Grupo delicatissima, P. seriata, Alexandrium peruvianum, Dinophysis caudata, D. acuminata,...
Roughness, pigment impurities, and neoformed minerals are important factors affecting the reflectance of painted surfaces. However, other that have not yet been studied in detail, such as total thickness paint layer amount binder, should also be considered. In this research, oil painting mock-ups, each made with a different number layers containing single (lead white, orpiment, cinnabar, azurite or malachite) mixed proportions were examined using hyperspectral imaging system. The results...
El presente estudio trata de analizar distintas estrategias posicionamiento en cuanto a su capacidad para obtener un nivel exhaustividad optimo. Las analizadas han consistido la localizacion los terminos busqueda el titulo, url, enlaces y las etiquetas Meta Head. analisis se ha realizado bajo dos criterios. En primer lugar, centra paginas con escaso o nulo interes comercial. motivo eludir comerciales debe estrecha vinculacion politicas visibilidad optimizacion web. segundo valora...
Se da a conocer la composición y distribución de comunidad fitoplanctónica en los primeros 75 m profundidad el Estrecho Bransfield alrededores Isla Elefante, durante Expedición ANTAR X (22-29 enero 1999) verano austral 1999. Las mayores concentraciones celulares (>500 cel/mL) estuvieron dadas por nanoplancton, con núcleos altas densidades principalmente las estaciones marginales 25 profundidad. especies más representativas fueron Leucocryptos marina, Phaeocystis antarctica, Monadas...
En el presente trabajo, se registra por primera vez floraciones algales nocivas del dinoflagelado Blixaea quinquecornis (Abé) Gottschling, 2017 para aguas costeras mar peruano. La determinación taxonómica de esta especie realizó mediante microscopia luz, electrónica barrido y contraste interferencial diferencial (DIC). fórmula tecal encontrada fue: pp, 3’, 2a, 7’’,5c, 5”’ 2’’’ 4s. fue registrada en las bahías Sechura, Miraflores Paracas entre 2014 2017, usualmente con altas densidades 3.2...
