Seaweed Community Structure Along Environmental Gradients in an Ocean-dominated Estuary
Author: Saskia A. Raether

ISBN:
Category : Estuarine ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Macrophyte community structure in estuaries that have been modified by the addition of hard substrata are poorly documented, especially in relation to the physical and environmental gradients that shape them. Therefore, this study describes the summer macrophyte flora that occurs on hard and soft substrata throughout Humboldt Bay, CA and tests how the macrophyte communities correlate to measures of horizontal and vertical environmental gradients. The percent cover of macroalgae, vascular plants, cyanobacteria, lichens, diatom film, sessile invertebrates, and substratum types were quantified during the summers of 2017 and 2018 at eleven intertidal locations in the bay and outer coast. Horizontal environmental gradients of salinity, water temperature, and wave exposure were quantified by hydrodynamic and wind-wave models. Vertical environmental gradients of air and water temperature per zone were measured using temperature loggers, while gradients of cumulative radiation, dew point, relative humidity, and wind speed were calculated from local weather station data during emergence periods. Macrophyte community structure and diversity measurements were analyzed using NMDS ordinations with environmental correlations, PERMANOVA, and indicator species analyses.

The Biology of Ascidians
Author: H. Sawada
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 4431669825
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
Ascidians are the invertebrate group that gave rise to vertebrates, thus the biology of ascidians provides an essential key to understanding both invertebrates and vertebrates. This book is the first to cover all areas of ascidian biology, including development, evolution, biologically active substances, heavy metal accumulation, asexual reproduction, host-defense mechanisms, allorecognition mechanisms, comparative immunology, neuroscience, taxonomy, ecology, genome science, and food science. The 69 articles that make up the collection were contributed by leading ascidiologists from all over the world who participated in the First International Symposium on the Biology of Ascidians, held in June 2000 in Sapporo, Japan. For scientists and students alike, the book is an invaluable source of information from the latest, most comprehensive studies of ascidian biology.
