Simulated mussel mortality thresholds as a function of mussel biomass and nutrient loading
A freshwater "mussel mortality threshold" was explored as a function of porewater ammonium (NH4+) concentration, mussel biomass, and total nitrogen (N) utilizing a numerical model calibrated with data from mesocosms with and without mussels. A mortality threshold of 2 mg-N L-1 porewater NH4+ was selected based on a study that estimated 100% mortality of juvenile Lampsilis mussels exposed to 1.9...
متن کاملMussel bed boundaries as dynamic equilibria: thresholds, phase shifts, and alternative states.
Ecological thresholds are manifested as a sudden shift in state of community composition. Recent reviews emphasize the distinction between thresholds due to phase shifts-a shift in the location of an equilibrium-and those due to alternative states-a switch between two equilibria. Here, we consider the boundary of intertidal mussel beds as an ecological threshold and demonstrate that both types ...

These steps are repeated as many times as the number of desired layers. However, many challenges need to be overcome before some of the spectacular applications of metamaterials demonstrated at microwave frequencies, such as perfect lensing and optical cloa...
متن کاملMorphological and ecological determinants of body temperature of Geukensia demissa, the Atlantic ribbed mussel, and their effects on mussel mortality.
Measurements of body temperatures in the field have shown that spatial and temporal patterns are often far more complex than previously anticipated, particularly in intertidal regions, where temperatures are driven by both marine and terrestrial climates. We examined the effects of body size, body position within the sediment, and microhabitat (presence or absence of Spartina alterniflora) on t...
