The role of zooplankton - phytoplankton community interactions in the nutrient dynamics of Lake Chapala, Mexico.
I investigated ammonia nitrogen (NH^-N) regeneration and grazing by zooplankton and their effects on phytoplankton production and biomass. Two sets of experiments were conducted on samples from Lake Chapala, Mexico from September through December, 1983. One set of experiments was designed to …

The ecological effects of bioturbation on the eelgras Zostera capensis : community interactions and the impacts on the biota of an intertidal sandflat
Thalassinidean prawns in the genus Callianassa have been singled out as important bioturbators because of their size and activity, and because they often occur at high densities and burrow deep into the sediments. The ecological effects of bioturbation by Callianassa kraussi on the eelgrass Zostera …
