A major challenge for ecologists is understanding ecosystem dynamics and function under environmental anthropogenic stresses. An approach addressing this the analysis of different components contributing to secondary production (i.e., consumer incorporation organic matter or energy per time unit) how influenced by external factors. Production studies have been recognized as a powerful tool in aquatic ecology, with applications energy–biomass flow studies, trophic management biological...
Zooplankton and ichthyoplankton assemblages were studied from January 2003 to June 2004 in a temperate shallow estuary (Mondego estuary, Portugal). Monthly sampling was performed at five stations high low tides, with subsurface tows 335 500 µm mesh Bongo nets. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant effect (P < 0.05) the size net on abundance main zooplankton groups. On average, taxocenosis 67 102 times lower than tides respectively, especially south arm. More 80 species identified...
Salinity is a serious threat to freshwater ecosystems, particularly those near coastal areas. An increase in salinity produces drastic changes community structure of freshwaters, sometimes an irreversible fashion. Thus, species must cope with stress manner proportional their degree tolerance. Bearing this mind, we studied the acute and chronic effects different concentrations two cladocerans: Daphnia magna Straus, standard test organism, longispina O. F. Müller, autochthonous species....
