Microsatellite DNA markers for the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus
Eleven microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus . Primers reliably amplify alleles in inbred lines derived from two divergent populations previously shown to have genetic distances of 18% for the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene. The 11 loci provided markers for eight of the species’ 12 chromosomes.
متن کاملDynamics of Inorganic Nutrients in Intertidal Sediments: Porewater, Exchangeable, and Intracellular Pools
The study of inorganic nutrients dynamics in shallow sediments usually focuses on two main pools: porewater (PW) nutrients and exchangeable (EX) ammonium and phosphate. Recently, it has been found that microphytobenthos (MPB) and other microorganisms can accumulate large amounts of nutrients intracellularly (IC), highlighting the biogeochemical importance of this nutrient pool. Storing nutrient...
متن کاملCommunity structure and functioning in intertidal rock pools: effects of pool size and shore height at different successional stages
Rock pools are dynamic and intermittently isolated habitats in the rocky intertidal. They can be used as model systems to provide a more general insight into the ecology of patchy habitats, which are less amenable to experimentation, such as islands and wildlife reserves. In the present study, a range of pools of differing sizes was selected at 2 vertical levels on the shore to assess the impor...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase activity in copepods (Tigriopus brevicornis) from the Vilaine River estuary, France, as a biomarker of neurotoxic contaminants.
From April 1997 to June 1998, 14 measurements of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymatic activity were performed with the copepod, Tigriopus brevicornis, collected at five stations in the Vilaine River estuary (South Brittany, France). Simultaneously, four chemical analyses of triazines and one analysis of total pesticides in water were undertaken. AChE activity levels in T. brevicornis were comp...
