The impact of municipal pollution on the larvae Ukrainian brook lamprey and European was studied in River Gać, a left-bank tributary Pilica. Both species share similar morphologies habits, including filtration-based feeding burial soft river sediments. This study focused 200 m stretch river, divided by sewage discharge from wastewater treatment plant into unpolluted (above discharge) polluted (below sections. exhibited higher densities (1612 individuals total over period) compared to those...
In recent decades, Amur sleeper is one of the most invasive fish species in Eastern and Central Europe. Generally, it assumed that success an can largely depend on plasticity its life-history traits, e.g., indicated by higher investment reproduction initial stage invasion. On other hand, such energy allocation to production gonads should negatively impact somatic growth rate. The aim this article was explore phenomenon a non-native population inhabiting artificial reservoir large lowland...
The study investigated the presence of waste plastic in fifty-three black stork (Ciconia nigra) nests with nestlings Central Poland. Although is typically an old-growth forest species, fourteen (26%) contained plastic, predominantly polypropylene string, fragments bags used agriculture, wrapping foil, shopping bags, and textiles. probability decreased increasing distance nest from forest's edge. Out 141 examined, two (1.42%) different were firmly entangled strings around their legs....
Four oxbow lakes and two neighbouring sections of their parent Warta River (Odra system, Poland) were sampled to investigate differences in fish assemblages between habitats 1999–2000. Additional comparisons made with 12 other this section the river that 30–40 years ago. Downstream a man‐made reservoir, higher species number, diversity evenness recorded than channel. Upstream these variables from both insignificant. Fluvial stagnant water samples clearly separated multivariate space...
The aim of the study was to assess whether ichthyofauna variability follows natural downstream gradient or degradation gradient, and bioindication potential fish zonation. conducted along entire length (795 km) lowland Warta River, Poland, wherein complexity ecotone zone availability hiding places for decreased downstream. catchment middle course carried a heavy load pollutants. In lower course, groynes were common, channel width exceeded 100 m mean discharge reached 210 m3/s. 2011–2012,...
The distribution of aquatic species results from the complex interplay biotic and abiotic variables, anthropogenic impacts, scale effects. Using a large-scale fish monitoring survey, we fitted spatially-explicit Bayesian model to compare series priori models for predicting occurrence Spirlin (Alburnoides bipunctatus), small freshwater cyprinid conservation concern. best-fitting identified an important effect river basin, flow disruption, number other taxa as predictors. Among major basins,...
Abstract Submersed plants appeared in the impounded section of Warta River as a consequence low discharge summer and were colonized by epiphytic fauna dominated Hydra sp., Simuliidae, Chironomidae. The three-spined stickleback consumed it voraciously, their diet composition closely reflected available food resources. In May alimentary tracts filled with Cladocera drifting from reservoir, then dominant taxa associated macrophytes, especially chironomid periphyton scrapers. A comparison...
The pattern of microhabitat preferences Ukrainian brook lamprey Eudontomyzon mariae ammocoetes was examined in two rivers central Poland: the Pilica River (the Vistula basin) and Grabia Odra basin). A comparison abiotic factors revealed differences water speed principal components: PC 1 (determining gradient from decreasing medium sand to increasing share three fractions gravel), 2 (a declining very coarse growing content fine sand) 3 (correlated with an proportion silt). sites did not...
Black stork nestlings were measured (wing, bill, head, and tarsus lengths) at weekly intervals in central Poland 2012, 2014, 2015. The aim of the study was to provide growth equations based on nestling measurements allow age estimation black nestlings. hatching hour date five nests determined using trail cameras. ranged from 18 53 days. Wing, head lengths showed linear growth, while only for not exceeding 35 days old. Within range studied, wing length grew 9.6 mm per day, 2.3 bill 1.8 day....
Nestling diet and parental provisioning rate are important determinants of reproductive success future offspring performance in birds. The Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) nestlings was characterized tested for intra-seasonal brood-size dependent variation the type mass prey provisioned to brood. Data were collected on 576 items from 45 broods central Poland during 2005–2016. almost exclusively with fish amphibians; proportion invertebrates their marginal. Fish a dominant component nestling diet,...
The feeding habits of spirlin Alburnoides bipunctatus were investigated in a tributary the River Vistula (Poland). To evaluate size-related patterns resource use, fish assigned to three size classes, defined according at first maturation: small (29–70-mm total length, TL), medium (71–90mm TL) and large (91–104mm TL). There was significant ontogenetic shift pattern among marked by differences proportion main taxonomic groups prey consumed: primarily consumed chironomid larvae, whereas showed...
Background. In Europe, the western tubenose goby, Proterorhinus semilunaris (Heckel, 1837), is smallest and one of most expansive species among invasive Ponto-Caspian gobies. The aim presently reported study was to investigate reproductive parameters goby population from Vistula River, as biological traits that might facilitate its successful invasion. Materials methods. Fish were sampled monthly March through October following determined: sex ratio, gonadosomatic index (GSI), fecundity...
