Journal ArticleDOI
Combined effects of salinity and temperature on survival and reproduction of five species of Artemia
Robert A. Browne,G. Wanigasekera +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the best ecological estimator of reproductive success is cohort reproductive output because it incorporates both survival and reproductive functions in the optimal T–S combination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lakes as Islands: Biogeographic Distribution, Turnover Rates, and Species Composition in the Lakes of Central New York
TL;DR: The principles of island biogeographic theory are applied to the species diversity and distribution of various taxa within lakes of central New York state, with greater emphasis placed on mollusc species, but data for zooplankton and fish species are also presented.
Book ChapterDOI
Taxonomy and population genetics of Artemia
Robert A. Browne,Sarane T. Bowen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the presence of partial reproductive isolation within the A. franciscana superspecies under the headings "Ecological Isolation" and "Hybridization".
Journal ArticleDOI
Partitioning genetic and environmental components of reproduction and lifespan in Artemia.
TL;DR: In contradiction to most theoretical assumptions, extremely low correlation coefficients were found between the length of the female prereproductive period and the remaining lifespan and reproductive traits, however, recovery time between broods showed a significant positive correlation with number of broods produced, total offspring produced, and female lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing Pleistocene refugia theory: phylogeographical analysis of Desmognathus wrighti, a high-elevation salamander in the southern Appalachians.
TL;DR: It is proposed that intrinsic barriers to dispersal, such as species interactions with other southern Appalachian plethodontid salamanders, persisted during the Pleistocene to maintain the fragmented distribution of D. wrighti and allow for significant genetic divergence of populations by restricting gene flow.
