Feeding of Boeckella gracilipes (Copepoda, Calanoida) on ciliates and phytoflagellates in an ultraoligotrophic Andean lake
In Andean lakes a distinctive assemblage of large mixotrophic ciliates (>80 μm), dominated by the peritrich Ophrydium naumanni Pejler and the heterotrich Stentor araucanus Foissner & Wölfl, has been previously reported (Wölfl, 1995; Modenutti, 1997; Queimaliños et al., 1999; Modenutti et al., 2000). These two species have been found only in large, deep ultra-oligotrophic lakes (area >5 km2, Zma...
متن کاملUV damage and photoreactivation: timing and age are everything.
Aquatic organisms, ranging from bacteria to fish, living in clear lakes are presently receiving damaging levels of UV radiation. Photoreactivation is a light-dependent mechanism by which some organisms deal with DNA damage caused by UV radiation. Yet, photoreactivation is a mechanism that confounds long-term predictive modeling of UV effects on the survival of these organisms. Here we show that...
متن کاملPhotoreactivation is the main repair pathway for UV-induced DNA damage in coral planulae.
The larvae of most coral species spend some time in the plankton, floating just below the surface and hence exposed to high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The high levels of UVR are potentially stressful and damaging to DNA and other cellular components, such as proteins, reducing survivorship. Consequently, mechanisms to either shade (prevent) or repair damage potentially play an impor...
متن کاملTwo new species of benthopelagic Stephos (Copepoda, Calanoida, Stephidae) from Korea
Two new species of benthopelagic copepods of the genus Stephos T. Scott, 1892, belonging to the family Stephidae G.O. Sars, 1902, are described based on specimens collected in the stagnant water flooding the burrows excavated by ocypodid crabs in two intertidal mud-flats, and from near-bottom shallow waters in Korea, respectively. They can be easily diagnosed based on the ornamentation of both ...
متن کاملA new species of Tortanus (Atortus) (Copepoda: Calanoida: Tortanidae) from Rodrigues Island, Mauritius
A new species of the copepod genus Tortanus (Atortus) (Copepoda: Calanoida), T. (A.) insularis, is described from the coastal region of Rodrigues Island, Mauritius, an isolated island in the south-western Indian Ocean. This new species can be assigned to an Indian faunal element, the recticauda species group, in the Indo-West Paci¢c recticauda species complex. It exhibits the closest relationsh...
