Temporal Variation in Cyprid Quality and Juvenile Growth Capacity for an Intertidal Barnacle
Implicit in past studies of recruitment is the assumption that all new recruits possess the same capacity for juvenile growth, and that observed variation in juvenile growth and survival is due entirely to spatial and temporal variation in food availability, magnitude of physical stresses, and intensity of competition and predation. We set out to determine if daily larval cohorts of the barnacl...
متن کاملTemporal Variation in Rocky Intertidal Gastropods of the Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf
Gastropod assemblages were investigated along intertidal rocky shore in the Qeshm Island in the northern Persian Gulf. Monthly sampling was undertaken from May 2007 to April 2008. Environmental factors were also measured in each site. A total of 28 gastropod taxa belonging to 15 families were identified and Cerithiidae was the most abundant family and Cerithium caeruleum was the most abundant...
متن کاملLongevity determines sizes of an adult intertidal barnacle.
The small honeycomb barnacle Chamaesipho tasmanica Foster and Anderson often forms continuous sheets covering the substratum at mid-shore levels of sheltered rocky shores but also occurs in sparse distributions on exposed shores, and on higher levels of sheltered shores, in south-eastern Australia. Larger barnacles are generally found in more exposed and higher areas. Effects of each site on ul...
متن کاملsecuritization of mortality risks in life annuities
insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولStrong genetic clines and geographical variation in gene flow in the rocky intertidal barnacle Balanus glandula.
A long-standing issue in marine biology is identifying spatial scales at which populations of sessile adults are connected by planktonic offspring. We examined the genetic continuity of the acorn barnacle Balanus glandula, an abundant member of rocky intertidal communities of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and compared these genetic patterns to the nearshore oceanography described by trajector...
