Northern Adriatic Rocky Reef Fishes at Low Winter Temperatures   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kurt  Kotrschal 《Marine Ecology》1983,4(3):275-286

Abstract. The behavioural ecology of certain northern Adriatic fishes was observed from January to April at a water temperature of 7–11 ^oC. The fishes studied here do not migrate to deeper waters. Most of the benthic fishes show a similar distribution over the substrate in winter and in summer; in winter, however, they are very inactive and hide in the substrate. Suprabenthic fishes aggregate in littoral caves where they form dense, inactive, mixed aggregations. Certain hemipelagic and pelagic fishes join to form very dense aggregations at specific sites in the open waters of bays. Littoral predators display high feeding activity at a time when their prey is inactive. I present a hypothesis concerning possible implications of seasonally cyclic environmental temperatures for a sympatric community of non-migrating fishes.  相似文献   

Element-specific detectors for liquid chromatography: The determination of arsenic compounds     

Kurt J. Irgolic  R.A. Stockton   《Marine Chemistry》1987,22(2-4)

Systems for the determination of trace element compounds consisting of liquid chromatographs (LC) (high pressure liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometers (GFAAS) or inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectrometers (ICP) as single- or multi-element-specific detectors are described. The applications of these systems to the determination of arsenic compounds are reviewed. The absolute detection limits of these systems for arsenic are in the low nanogram range. These detection limits can probably be improved by two-three orders of magnitude by coupling an inductively coupled argon plasma-mass spectrometer instrument to the liquid chromatograph. The advantages and drawbacks of the LC-GFAAS and LC-ICP systems are outlined. These systems can separate and identify trace element compounds that are kinetically or thermodynamically stable under the conditions of the chromatography. Labile compounds cannot be determined by these systems. Wide application of these systems to problems of trace element research will lead to the identification of hitherto unknown trace element compounds, to a better understanding of the nutritional and toxic properties of trace element compounds, and to a better definition of trace element cycles.  相似文献   

Mud transportation on a steep shelf,Rio de La Plata shelf,Puerto Rico     

Kurt A. Grove  Orrin H. Pilkey  James V. A. Trumbull 《Geo-Marine Letters》1982,2(1-2):71-75

Hurricanes David (August 29–30, 1979) and Frederick (September 2–5, 1979) caused major flooding of the Rio de La Plata in northern Puerto Rico. A thin mud layer was deposited across the narrow insular shelf adjacent to the river mouth. Within 5 months, fair-weather shelf-winnowing processes moved the mud layer entirely from the shelf, 0.5 to 2 km to the shelf break at the 50-m contour and beyond. The process of mud movement is termed “mud hopping.”  相似文献   

The Diets in Four Pacific Tube Blennies (Acanthemblemaria: Chaenopsidae): Lack of Ecological Divergence in Syntopic Species     

David G.  Lindquist Kurt M.  Kotrschal 《Marine Ecology》1987,8(4):327-335

Abstract. The diets of three syntopic Gulf of California Acanthemblemaria (A. balanorum, A. crock-eri and A. macrospilus) and A. castroi from the Galapagos Island are nearly uniformly composed of harpacticoid copepods and other small benthic-vagile or planktonic crustaceans. On occasion, large prey items such as crabs or other small fishes are taken. HORN'S index of niche overlap indicates that the three syntopic Acanthemblemaria are not separated along the food resource utilization axis. Slight variations in diets among the syntopic species seem to be related to differences in degree of microhabitat specialization.  相似文献   

Feeding Ecology of three Populations of Blennius incognitus BATH 1968 (Pisces: Teleostei: Blenniidae) during the Reproduptive Period and under Human Influence     

Alfred  Goldschmid Kurt  Kotrschal 《Marine Ecology》1981,2(1):1-14

Abstract. Samples of Blennius incognitus from three differently polluted locations on the Istrian west coast (Adriatic Sea, Yugoslavia) were collected in early July during the spawning season. The gut content was analyzed employing the occurrence and point (relative volumetric) method. This fish grazes the surface of the rocky substratum. Inhabiting small benthic animals are ingested together with algae and detritus. The diet depends on the composition and condition of the covering phytal and its inhabiting fauna. A decrease of available animal food seems to intensify grazing on the substrate. A sexual dimorphism in the feeding habit during the reproductive period exists. Females feed more on animals; males feed more on substrate and in cases also on eggs of their own species.  相似文献   

The role of sediments in the phosphorus cycle in Lake Lugano. II. Seasonal and spatial variability of microbiological processes at the sediment-water interface   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Maja A. Lazzaretti  Kurt W. Hanselmann  Helmut Brandl  Daniel Span  Reinhard Bachofen 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1992,54(3-4):285-299

P, Fe, Mn, and S species were analyzed in water samples from the sediment-water interface collected at four seasonally different times during the course of a year at two sampling sites in the southern basin of Lake Lugano (Lago di Lugano). The results reveal the strong influence of the biogeochemical processes in the sediment on the chemical composition of the lake water above. Consumption of oxygen and nitrate under oxic to microoxic conditions in the water column as well as sequential release of reduced manganese and iron under anoxic conditions was observed as a direct or indirect consequence of microbially mediated degradation of organic matter. The seasonal pattern observed for the release and the retainment of dissolved reduced iron and manganese correlates well with the one for dissolved phosphate. Iron, manganese and phosphorus cycling are coupled tightly in these sediments. Both sediment types act as sinks for hydrogen sulfide and sulfate. An inner-sedimentary sulfur cycle is proposed to couple iron, manganese and phosphorus cycling with the degradation of organic matter. Nutrient cycling at the sediment-water interface might thus be driven by a microbially regulated electron pumping mechanism. The results contribute to a better understanding of the role of sediment processes in the lake's internal phosphorus cycle and its seasonal dynamics.  相似文献   

Unquenchable high-pressure perovskite polymorphs of MnSnO3 and FeTiO3     

Kurt Leinenweber  Wataru Utsumi  Yoshihiko Tsuchida  Takehiko Yagi  Kei Kurita 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1991,18(4):244-250

New high-pressure orthorhombic (GdFeO₃-type) perovskite polymorphs of MnSnO₃ and FeTiO₃ have been observed using in situ powder X-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell with synchrotron radiation. The materials are produced by the compression of the lithium niobate polymorphs of MnSnO₃ and FeTiO₃ at room temperature. The lithium niobate to perovskite transition occurs reversibly at 7 GPa in MnSnO₃, with a volume change of -1.5%, and at 16 GPa in FeTiO₃, with a volume change of -2.8%. Both transitions show hysteresis at room temperature. For MnSnO₃ perovskite at 7.35 (8) GPa, the orthorhombic cell parameters are a=5.301 (2) A, b=5.445 (2) Å, c=7.690 (8) Å and V= 221.99 (15) ų. Volume compression data were collected between 7 and 20 GPa. The bulk modulus calculated from the compression data is 257 (18) GPa in this pressure region. For FeTiO₃ perovskite at 18.0 (5) GPa, cell parameters are a=5.022 (6) Å, b=5.169 (5) Å, c=7.239 (9) Å and V= 187.94 (36) ų. Based on published data on the quench phases, the FeTiO₃ perovskite breaks down to a rocksalt + baddelyite mixture of FeO and TiO₂ at 23 GPa. This is the first experimental verification of the pressure-induced breakdown of a perovskite to simple oxides.  相似文献   

Late Pleistocene to Holocene record of changing uplift rates in southern Calabria and northeastern Sicily (southern Italy, Central Mediterranean Sea)   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2  

Fabrizio Antonioli  Luigi Ferranti  Kurt Lambeck  Steve Kershaw  Vladimiro Verrubbi  Giuseppe Dai Pra 《Tectonophysics》2006,422(1-4):23-40

A combination of published and new radiometric dates on uplifted Holocene fossil beaches from northeastern Sicily and southern Calabria (southern Italy) is compared with the altitude of the inner margin of the Last Interglacial (LIg) (Late Pleistocene, 124 ka) and older marine terraces in order to gain a regional-scale outline of uplift rates and their temporal changes in a region which is one of the fastest uplifting sectors of the Central Mediterranean Sea. Late Holocene radiocarbon dates from Ioppolo (southern Calabria) and Ganzirri (northeast Sicily), two newly discovered sites are here presented for the first time. The Holocene uplift rates are highest at St. Alessio and Taormina in eastern Sicily (2.4 mm/y) and at Scilla in southwestern Calabria (2.1 mm/y), two sites located across the Messina Straits and which separate the island of Sicily from mainland Italy. Uplift rates decrease towards the south and north from this centre of uplift. Late Holocene uplift rates show an apparent increase of between 64 and 124% when compared with the longer-term uplift rates calculated from the LIg highstand terraces. Furthermore, we discovered that the locations of fastest Late Pleistocene and Late Holocene uplift rates spatially coincide. To what extent the Holocene increase in uplift rates results from incomplete elastic strain release along the major extensional faults which frame the seismotectonic of the area, or indicate a true change in regional tectonic processes, is not resolved. Nonetheless, the heterogeneity of uplift, with a well-defined centre that crosses the Messina Straits, and its persistence at different time-scales indicates a tight connection between wider regional processes and fault-related displacement in controlling crustal instability in this area.  相似文献   

How sensitive are estimates of carbon fixation in agricultural models to input data?     

Markus Tum  Franziska Strauss  Ian McCallum  Kurt Günther  Erwin Schmid 《Carbon balance and management》2012,7(1):1-13

Background

Accurate, high-resolution mapping of aboveground carbon density (ACD, Mg C ha^-1) could provide insight into human and environmental controls over ecosystem state and functioning, and could support conservation and climate policy development. However, mapping ACD has proven challenging, particularly in spatially complex regions harboring a mosaic of land use activities, or in remote montane areas that are difficult to access and poorly understood ecologically. Using a combination of field measurements, airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and satellite data, we present the first large-scale, high-resolution estimates of aboveground carbon stocks in Madagascar.

Results

We found that elevation and the fraction of photosynthetic vegetation (PV) cover, analyzed throughout forests of widely varying structure and condition, account for 27-67% of the spatial variation in ACD. This finding facilitated spatial extrapolation of LiDAR-based carbon estimates to a total of 2,372,680 ha using satellite data. Remote, humid sub-montane forests harbored the highest carbon densities, while ACD was suppressed in dry spiny forests and in montane humid ecosystems, as well as in most lowland areas with heightened human activity. Independent of human activity, aboveground carbon stocks were subject to strong physiographic controls expressed through variation in tropical forest canopy structure measured using airborne LiDAR.

Conclusions

High-resolution mapping of carbon stocks is possible in remote regions, with or without human activity, and thus carbon monitoring can be brought to highly endangered Malagasy forests as a climate-change mitigation and biological conservation strategy.  相似文献
