Sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus: an exception to the rule of homing in anadromous fishes.
Anadromous fishes are believed to make regular circuits of migration in the sea before homing to their natal rivers. Sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus is an anadromous fish that is an exception to this life-history pattern. It also differs from other anadromous fishes in that its adult phase is parasitic, a feeding strategy that should make homing problematic for lamprey cohorts that become widely...
متن کاملTrace element accumulation in lotic dragonfly nymphs: Genus matters
Constituents of coal combustion waste (CCW) expose aquatic organisms to complex mixtures of potentially toxic metals and metalloids. Multi-element trace element analyses were used to distinguish patterns of accumulation among 8 genera of dragonfly nymphs collected from two sites on a CCW contaminated coastal plain stream. Dragonfly nymphs are exceptional for comparing trace element accumulation...
متن کاملFunctional characterization, tuning, and regulation of visual pigment gene expression in an anadromous lamprey.
Lampreys are one of the two surviving groups of jawless vertebrates, whose ancestors arose more than 540 million years ago. Some species, such as Geotria australis, are anadromous, commencing life as ammocoetes in rivers, migrating downstream to the sea, and migrating back into rivers to spawn. Five photoreceptor types and five retinal cone opsin genes (LWS, SWS1, SWS2, RhA, and RhB) have previ...
متن کاملAccumulation of Trace Elements in Mussels, Fish and Marine Mammals from the Black Sea
During these lasts four decades, an increasing awareness has been provoked by chemicals deeply present in the environment. They can exert and cause deleterious effects on wildlife populations and human health. That is inextricably linked to the health of the environment. Elevated levels of pollutants in the watercolumn, in combination with high bioavailability of the pollutants, are likely to r...
متن کاملTrace Element Management in Rice
Trace elements (TEs) are vital for the operation of metabolic pathways that promote growth and structural integrity. Paddy soils are often prone to TE limitation due to intensive cultivation and irrigation practices. Apart from this, rice paddies are potentially contaminated with transition metals such as Cd, which are often referred to as toxic TEs. Deficiency of TEs in the soil not only delay...
