Повний текст джерелаThe number of species extinctions is increasing at an alarming rate. Long-lived freshwater mussels of the order Unionoida, which include a parasitic stage on a host fish, are highly threatened. Habitat degradation by turbidity and sedimentation is thought to be one major reason for their decline. The objective of this thesis was to examine recruitment patterns and identify the causes of the lack of recruitment in the threatened unionoid freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera). In addition, I investigated the effects of turbidity on non-endangered dreissenid mussels, where turbidity was manipulated through use of bioturbating mayflies.
In a survey of 107 Swedish streams, mussel population size and trout density were both positively correlated to recruitment probability of M. margaritifera. A more in-depth study of the age-structure of nine populations revealed that four of these populations showed no signs of recruitment over the last ten years. Within-stream variation in recruitment was high as both mussels and trout had patchy distribution, and may be important for population regulation. Moreover, examination of different life stages revealed no differences in the gravid mussel stage or the stage when mussels infect salmonid fish. Instead, differences were observed for the juvenile, benthic stage, presumably related to differences in turbidity and sedimentation. High turbidity may affect filter-feeding efficiency of mussels and high sedimentation may reduce survival by clogging sediments, thereby altering, for example, oxygen and food conditions. In the study of the effects of turbidity, bioturbating mayflies increased turbidity and filter-feeding dreissenid mussels reduced turbidity. Mussel growth both decreased and increased with increasing turbidity, depending on sediment type.
Turbidity and sedimentation often impact entire stream systems, and a holistic, catchment-based management strategy may be needed to reduce the effects of sedimentation on freshwater pearl mussels. The effects of restoration take a long time and must start soon if recruitment of mussels is to be re-established. Restoration may also be more urgent in some streams than in others, as the maximum age of M. margaritifera populations in my study differed by as much as 60 years. As mussel and trout densities seem to be important for recruitment success, one conservation method may be to concentrate mussels into sites where trout density is high.

Environmental heterogeneity in both space and time has significant repercussions for community structure and ecosystem processes. Dimictic lakes provide examples of vertically structured ecosystems that oscillate between stable and mixed thermal layers on a seasonal basis. Vertical patterns in abiotic conditions vary during both states, but with differing degrees of variation. For example, during summer thermal stratification there is high spatial heterogeneity in temperature, nutrients, dissolved oxygen and photosynthetically active radiation. The breakdown of stratification and subsequent mixing of the water column in fall greatly reduces the stability of the water column to a vertical gradient in light. Nutrients and biomass that were otherwise constrained to the depths are also suspended, leading to a boom in productivity. Freshwater lakes are teeming with microbial diversity that responds to the dynamic environment in a seemingly predictable manner. Although such patterns have been well studied for nanoplanktonic phototrophic and heterotrophic populations, less work has been done to integrate the influence of mixotrophic nutrition to the protistan assemblage. Phagotrophy by phytoplankton increases the complexity of nutrient and energy flow due to their dual functioning as producers and consumers. The role of mixotrophs in freshwater planktonic communities also varies depending on the relative balance between taxon-specific utilization of carbon and energy sources that ranges widely between phototrophy and heterotrophy. Therefore, the role of mixotrophy in the microbial food web is difficult to predict because functional types of mixotrophs along a gradient of nutritional strategies contribute differently to nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. The overall objective of this work was to advance existing knowledge of the abundance and activity of phagotrophy phytoplankton in lacustrine systems. The incorporation of mixotrophy into the microbial food web requires the complement of physiological studies in culture (as described in chapter 2) and quantification of activity (including abundance and bacterivory) in relation to strict phototrophs and heterotrophs in situ (as described in chapter 3 and 4). Information on the physiological ecology of mixotrophic protists is crucial to understanding their role in planktonic food webs and influence on the dynamic microbial community structure in lake ecosystems. An understanding of the ecological functioning of lakes has ultimate consequences for management of water resources, particularly in the face of global climate change.

Повний текст джерелаAs the southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) range expands into northern and southern California, it will encounter estuaries that have been historically occupied by sea otters. Understanding how otters use re-colonized estuarine environments will inform how estuaries might be managed to encourage future sea otter range expansion. This project addressed the question: how do southern sea otters use space in the unique estuarine habitats of Elkhorn Slough? I compared the locations and behaviors of 25 individual sea otters of different status (male, female, and female with pup) among eelgrass, saltmud, saltmarsh, tidal creek, and main channel habitats in Elkhorn Slough. From these data I created a synoptic model to predict space use for resident otters of Elkhorn Slough based on sex, behavior, home range, and habitat distribution. Ninety percent home ranges calculated from the model indicated that females used larger home ranges than males in the slough, but both sexes had smaller home range areas than otters using the rocky outer-coast habitats of the Monterey Peninsula. In Elkhorn Slough, important habitats associated with resting included tidal creeks (for females only) and eelgrass, whereas the main channel was important for foraging behaviors of both sexes. Although using land habitats, sea otters were most likely to be found within 50 m of water. Protection of similar resting and foraging habitats in prey-rich estuaries colonized in the future will promote southern sea otters recovery by allowing them to re-colonize historically important estuarine habitats.
