Large-scale temporal and spatial patterns
Phytoplankton constitute the main algal biomass in pelagic ecosystems and, therefore, play a fundamental role in the functioning of the marine trophic web. Information on long-term trends in marine phytoplankton may help to distinguish between biological responses to natural oscillations in climate and global warming, and to evaluate possible regional effects of eutrophication. The aim of this ...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Distribution of Zooplankton Biomass in the Northeast Persian Gulf
The zooplankton biomass and distribution were studied during two oceanographic cruises in NE part of the Persian Gulf in autumn 2012 (November) and summer 2013 (August) with 300 μmmesh net. Zooplankton samples were analyzed for biomass content. Zooplankton biomass expressed as mg m-3 dry wt., was greatest during summer cruise (mean of 18.8 ± 4.6 mg m-3 dry wt.). The mean zooplankton bioma...
متن کاملBody size and food size in freshwater zooplankton.
We used double-label liquid scintillation techniques to measure the efficiencies with which eight different-sized zooplankton species ingested four cell types relative to a standard cell type (Chlamydomonas). Efficiency ratios (ERs: clearance rate on cell type X / clearance rate on Chlamydomonas) on the three ultraplankton (<5 mum in diameter) cells (a coccoid bacterium and the algae Synechococ...
متن کاملRecent spatial and temporal changes in body size of terrestrial vertebrates: probable causes and pitfalls.
Geographical and temporal variations in body size are common phenomena among organisms and may evolve within a few years. We argue that body size acts much like a barometer, fluctuating in parallel with changes in the relevant key predictor(s), and that geographical and temporal changes in body size are actually manifestations of the same drivers. Frequently, the principal predictors of body si...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Analysis of Dusty Days in Iran
Iran is one of the world's arid regions and exposed to dust particles in the air. This is important in spatial and temporal terms as well as the affects human health. In this paper a day when due to the amount of dust particles visibility reduces to 5,000 m is considered the dusty day. In the spatial and temporal analysis of dusty days 38 synoptic stations were studied. In order to conduct data...
