Temporal coherence (i.e., the degree of synchronicity a given variable among ecological units within predefined space) has been shown for several limnological features temperate lakes, allowing predictions about structure and function ecosystems. However, there is little evidence temporal tropical aquatic systems, where climatic variability seasons less pronounced. Here, we used data from long-term monitoring physical, chemical biological variables to test 18 coastal lagoons. The water...
AIM: The study of the patterns and mechanisms temporal coherence ecological variables among lakes has become an important area limnology. However, no to date experimentally tested whether how resource subsidies food web configuration affect limnological variables. We conducted a field mesocosm experiment test following hypotheses: (i) nutrient enrichment would reduce system variables; (ii) fish predation enhance (iii) strength decreases from physical (water transparency), chemical (dissolved...
Physical environment of streams present many challenging factors to the organisms living under its influence. Water speed, one most important affecting such environments, has local influence on substrata, temperature, and oxygen levels. It acts determining species distributions morphological behavioral adaptations organisms. The aim this study was assess relative size gills Cloeodes jaragua two mesohabitats: lentic (river dam) lotic (fast flowing area a stream) in Parque Nacional da Serra...
