Sublethal toxicant effects with dynamic energy budget theory: application to mussel outplants
We investigate the effectiveness of a sublethal toxic effect model embedded in Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory for the analysis of field data. We analyze the performance of two species of mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. californianus, near a diffuser discharging produced water in the Southern California Bight, California. Produced water is a byproduct of oil production consisting o...
متن کاملSublethal toxicant effects with dynamic energy budget theory: model formulation
We develop and test a general modeling framework to describe the sublethal effects of pollutants by adding toxicity modules to an established dynamic energy budget (DEB) model. The DEB model describes the rates of energy acquisition and expenditure by individual organisms; the toxicity modules describe how toxicants affect these rates by changing the value of one or more DEB parameters, notably...
متن کاملIntegrating dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory with traditional bioenergetic models.
Dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory offers a systematic, though abstract, way to describe how an organism acquires and uses energy and essential elements for physiological processes, in addition to how physiological performance is influenced by environmental variables such as food density and temperature. A 'standard' DEB model describes the performance (growth, development, reproduction, respir...
متن کاملModeling Population and Ecosystem Response to Sublethal Toxicant Exposure
The ecological effects of environmental stress occur within complex communities and ecosystems. Prior to the current award, the PIs formulated and tested general dynamic energy budget models characterizing the response of individual organisms to toxicants, and developed methodology for using these models to predict population dynamics. They also developed new theory describing the trophic dynam...
متن کاملDynamic energy budget theory and population ecology: lessons from Daphnia.
Dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory offers a perspective on population ecology whose starting point is energy utilization by, and homeostasis within, individual organisms. It is natural to ask what it adds to the existing large body of individual-based ecological theory. We approach this question pragmatically--through detailed study of the individual physiology and population dynamics of the zo...
