Recent climate extremes alter alpine lake ecosystems.
Here, we show that alpine lake ecosystems are responsive to interannual variation in climate, based on long-term limnological and meteorological data from the Canadian Rockies. In the 2000s, in years with colder winter temperatures, higher winter snowfall, later snowmelt, shorter ice-free seasons, and dryer summers, relative to the 1990s, alpine lakes became clearer, warmer, and mixed to deeper...
متن کاملHow does fishing alter marine populations and ecosystems sensitivity to climate?
Evidence has accumulated that climate variability influences the state and functioning of marine ecosystems. At the same time increasing pressure from exploitation and other human activities has been shown to impact exploited and non-exploited species and potentially modify ecosystem structure. There has been a tendency among marine scientists to pose the question as a dichotomy, i.e., whether ...
متن کاملIntroduced brown trout alter native acanthocephalan infections in native fish.
1. Native parasite acquisition provides introduced species with the potential to modify native host-parasite dynamics by acting as parasite reservoirs (with the 'spillback' of infection increasing the parasite burdens of native hosts) or sinks (with the 'dilution' of infection decreasing the parasite burdens of native hosts) of infection. 2. In New Zealand, negative correlations between the pre...
متن کاملHow Actions Alter Sensory Processing
Our vestibular organs are simultaneously activated by our own actions as well as by stimulation from the external world. The ability to distinguish sensory inputs that are a consequence of our own actions (vestibular reafference) from those that result from changes in the external world (vestibular exafference) is essential for perceptual stability and accurate motor control. Recent work in our...
متن کاملCommunity structure and recolonization by earthworms in rehabilitated ecosystems in garhwal himalayas, India
Himalaya is a vast and diverse mountain system. Agro forestry land use covering (20%) of geographical area of Indian Himalayas is distributed as patches in the matrix of forest covering (52%) area. Forest based treecrop livestock integrated farming is the predominant traditional land use in central Himalayas.1 Hill agriculture appears to be key threat to soil biodiversity and ecosystem service ...
