Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Community Composition and Ecology of an Acidic Aquatic Environment: The Tinto River, Spain
TL;DR: The Tinto River ecosystem can be described as a function of three main groups of variables: pH values, metal concentrations, and biological productivity, which suggested a close relationship between the acidic pH values and abundance of both chemolithotrophic bacteria and filamentous fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hull fouling is a risk factor for intercontinental species exchange in aquatic ecosystems
John M. Drake,David M. Lodge +1 more
TL;DR: Overall invasion risk from biofouling may be comparable or exceed that of ballast water discharge, and these findings adjust upward by an order of magnitude the number of species collected from a single ship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planktonic food availability and suspension-feeder abundance: Evidence of in situ depletion
Leo W. Buss,Jeremy B. C. Jackson +1 more
TL;DR: Substrata were arranged in a manner allowing in situ measurement of particle depletion as a function of the abundance of suspension-feeders and time, suggesting the possibility of competition for food in dense assemblages of suspension feeders.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of phytoplankton competition for limiting and nonlimiting nutrients: Implications for development of estuarine and nearshore management schemes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a mathematical model for predicting phytoplankton succession in more dynamic environments, such as estuaries and coastal waters, based on equilibrium resource competition theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixotrophic feeding of Fragilidium subglobosum (Dinophyceae) on three species of Ceratium: effects of prey concentration, prey species and light intensity
TL;DR: Growth and glazing responses of the m~xotrophic dinoflagellate Fraglhdlum subglobosum were studled as a function of prey concentration, prey specles and light Intensity in laboratory cultures, indicating that food uptake by F sub globosum stimulated photosynthesis at low prey concentrations.
