  • The Maturity Index Applied to Soil Gamasine Mites from Five Natural
    Applied Soil Ecology 34 (2006) 1–9 www.elsevier.com/locate/apsoil The maturity index applied to soil gamasine mites from five natural forests in Austria Tamara Cˇ oja *, Alexander Bruckner Institute of Zoology, Department of Integrative Biology, University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Gregor-Mendel-Strasse 33, 1180 Vienna, Austria Received 27 June 2005; received in revised form 9 January 2006; accepted 16 January 2006 Abstract In this study, we tested the performance of the gamasine mites maturity index of (Ruf, A., 1998. A maturity index for gamasid soil mites (Mesostigmata: Gamsina) as an indicator of environmental impacts of pollution on forest soils. Appl. Soil Ecol. 9, 447– 452) in five natural forest reserves in eastern Austria. These sites were assumed to be stable and undisturbed reference habitats. The maturity indices of the gamasine communities were near their maximum in the investigated stands, and thus performed well towards the ‘‘high end’’ of the total range of the index. An occasionally inundated floodplain forest yielded much lower values. However, the correlation of the index with humus type, as proposed by Ruf et al. (Ruf, A., Beck, L., Dreher, P., Hund-Rienke, K., Ro¨mbke, J., Spelda, J., 2003. A biological classification concept for the assessment of soil quality: ‘‘biological soil classification scheme’’ (BBSK). Agric. Ecosyst. Environ. 98, 263–271) for managed forests, was not found. This indicates that the humus form is not a good predictor of the index over its entire range and is inappropriate to assess the fit of test communities. Fourteen percent of the species in this study were omitted from index calculation because adequate data for their families are lacking.

SPONGE COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ANTI-PREDATOR DEFENSES ON TEMPERATES REEFS OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC BIGHT by RICHARD ROBERT RUZICKA III Under the Direction of Daniel F. Gleason ABSTRACT The interaction between predation and anti-predator defenses of prey is important in shaping community structure in all ecosystems. This study examined the relationship between sponge predation and the distribution of sponge anti-predator defenses on temperate reefs in the South Atlantic Bight. Significant differences in the distribution of sponge species, sponge densities, and densities of sponge predators were documented across two adjacent reef habitats. Significant differences also occurred in the distribution of sponge chemical and structural defenses with chemical deterrence significantly greater in sponges associated with the habitat having higher predation intensity. Structural defenses, although effective in some instances, appear to be inadequate against spongivorous predators thereby restricting the distribution of sponge species lacking chemical defenses to habitats with lower predation intensity.

  • HABITAT TYPE and ASSOCIATED BIOLOGICAL ASSEMBLAGES – Shellfish Beds Sculpins, Rockfish, Perch and Herring
    HABITAT TYPE AND ASSOCIATED BIOLOGICAL ASSEMBLAGES – Shellfish Beds sculpins, rockfish, perch and herring. Hard substrates are arenaria. Sutton (1978) also delineated beds of the rough an important feeding habitat for harbor seals, including piddock (Zirfaea pilsbryi), a native clam that bores into from the Golden Gate east to Treasure Island, northwest soft rock or clays, as a potential species for sport harvest, to Tiburon Peninsula, and southward to Yerba Buena and suggested that there may be significant subtidal beds Island (Goals Project 2000, Green et al. 2006). Also, of the native bentnose clam (Macoma nasuta), which was many harbor seal haul-out sites are located in close commonly harvested by Native Americans. Some studies proximity to subtidal hard substrate including Point refer in passing to beds of the exotic freshwater Asiatic Bonita, Castro Rocks, Yerba Buena Island, and Angel clam (Corbicula fluminea; harvested for food or bait), Island (Goals Project 2000). Sea lions also feed in deep, native California mussel (Mytilus californianus), bay marine waters of San Francisco Bay; however, they feed mussel (consisting of the native M. trossulus, the exotic M. mostly on seasonally abundant herring associated with galloprovincialis, and their hybrids), exotic ribbed hard structures and eel grass beds in the Central Bay, and horsemussel (Geukensia demissa), native ghost shrimp on spawning salmonids that are migrating up the Bay (Neotrypaea californica), and the blue mud shrimp across multiple habitats to freshwater tributaries. Pacific (Upogebia pugettensis). Jones & Stokes (1977) and Sutton herring is a major prey item for many marine mammal (1978) implied that the ribbed horsemussel might be a species that are drawn to the Bay, including harbor sport-harvested species in the San Francisco Bay.

    Programmatic Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment for the Long-Term Management Strategy for the Placement of Dredged Material in the San Francisco Bay Region July 2009 Executive Summary Programmatic Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment for the Long-Term Management Strategy for the Placement of Dredged Material in the San Francisco Bay Region Pursuant to section 305(b)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. §1855(b)), the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), as the federal lead and co-lead agencies, respectively, submit this Programmatic Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment for the Long-Term Management Strategy for the Placement of Dredged Material in the San Francisco Bay Region. This document provides an assessment of the potential effects of the on-going dredging and dredged material placement activities of all federal and non-federal maintenance dredging projects in the action area (see Figure 1.1 located on page 3). The SF Bay LTMS program area spans 11 counties, including: Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco counties. It does not include the mountainous or inland areas far removed from navigable waters. The geographic scope of potential impacts included in this consultation (action area) comprises the estuarine waters of the San Francisco Bay region, portions of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) west of Sherman Island and the western portion of the Port of Sacramento and Port of Stockton deep water ship channels. It also includes the wetlands and shallow intertidal areas that form a margin around the Estuary and the tidal portions of its tributaries.

Maintaining Received 11 February 2014 species in captivity prior to reintroduction presents many challenges, including the need to preserve Received in revised form 21 April 2014 genetic diversity and mitigation of disease risks. Recent studies suggest that captivity can alter the suite Accepted 28 May 2014 of symbiotic microbes that play important roles in host health. The Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) has not been seen in its native habitat in Panamá since 2009. Along with habitat loss and illegal collecting, the lethal disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendro- Keywords: batidis (Bd), is responsible for the severe decline of this species. Prior to the spread of Bd into golden frog Amphibians habitat, conservation organizations collected golden frogs and placed them in captive survival assurance Captive management Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis colonies. The skin of amphibians is host to a diverse resident bacterial community, which acts as a Probiotic defense mechanism in some amphibians to inhibit pathogens.

  • Biospeleologia De Les Cavitats De Les Illes Balears: Invertebrats Terrestres
    ENDINS, 35 / Mon. Soc. Hist. Nat. Balears, 17: 241-256 ISSN 0211-2515. Mallorca, 2011 BIOSPELEOLOGIA DE LES CAVITATS DE LES ILLES BALEARS: INVERTEBRATS TERRESTRES per Guillem X. PONS 1 i Mateo VADELL 2 Abstract In the caves of the Balearic Islands over 300 species of invertebrates (including terrestrial and aquatic species) are known until today. Of these, approximately 50 can be considered genuinely troglobiontic species. Over half of these are endemic species unique to the Islands, a percentage large enough in evolutionary terms to give an idea of its great heritage value and interest in its preservation. The cave organisms constitute a very important part of the catalog of endemic fauna in the Balearic Islands. Since Racovitza described Typhlocirolana moraguesi in 1905, the first step in the new science of biospeleology, have been many scientists who have penetrated to the caves in search of new and enigmatic species. The Balearics were also the birthplace of the discipline with the interest and constant presence of local researchers in national and international scientific publications. Since 1905 there have been many papers published on the ongoing findings of cave species. For the preparation of this article have been selected terrestrial cave species that are new to the catalogs of taxa published since 1995 (publication date of the monograph Endins 20) or those species that are important regarding biogeography, particularly the endemisms. Resum A les coves de les illes Balears s’han trobat més de 300 espècies d’invertebrats (entre espècies terrestres i aquàtiques). D’elles, aproximadament unes 50 poden considerar-se genuïnament troglòbies.
