WHAT PREDICTS TERRESTRIAL INVERTEBRATE SUBSIDY USE BY BROOK TROUT (SALVELINUS FONTINALIS) IN HEADWATER STREAMS?
… in those habitats is low. While it is clear that terrestrial invertebrates provide a critical subsidy for trout, including eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), we have limited understanding of what causes input and use of these subsidies to vary among streams. Among the watershed …

The Food Habits of Redbreast Sunfish in the San Marcos River, Texas
… fall-winter season, there was a decrease in the terrestrial invertebrates in the diet with a corresponding increase of aquatic invertebrates, compared to the spring-summer season. There was a significant difference between the diets of fish > 152 mm, mainly due to a greater proportion of …

Bioenergetics of Rainbow Trout in Lake Oahe, South Dakota
… prey occurred during May, July and August. Terrestrial invertebrates had the highest RI value in rainbow trout diets during June and September. Overall, RI values for aquatic macroinvertebrates and rainbow smelt were lower than the other two prey categories. Zooplankton were the most …

Functional characterization and expression of molluscan detoxification enzymes and transporters involved in dietary allelochemical resistance
… been sequenced and functionally characterized in terrestrial invertebrates feeding on chemically defended host plants, there is virtually no information concerning the role of these biotransformation enzymes that may mediate feeding tolerance in marine invertebrates. The objective of this research …

Water conservation methods to conserve the High Plains aquifer and Arikaree River Basin: a case study on the Arikaree River
… hankinsoni (Brassy Minnow) and habitat for many terrestrial invertebrates. In addition to the demands for maintenance of habitats, the surrounding almost exclusively irrigated agricultural lands require water as well. The research presented here combined a water balance model, a water …

THE ICHNOLOGICAL AND DEPOSITIONAL CONTEXT OF BIOERODED TRICERATOPS BONES FROM THE MAASTRICTHIAN FRENCHMAN FORMATION OF SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA
… contributed to our understanding of Mesozoic terrestrial paleoecology and depositional environments. In many cases, body fossils of the inferred tracemaker are either exceedingly rare or absent from the fossil record due to taphonomy. However, studies of bioerosion on dinosaur material …

Influence of riparian forest and agricultural land use on community structure and ecosystem function in headwater streams
… Although there were greater abundances of macroinvertebrates and fish in streams with low forest buffer, assemblages were dominated by pollution tolerant taxa. In contrast, streams with high percent forest buffer and low watershed agriculture had the best biotic integrity. Greater proportions of …

Towards an understanding of seasonal ecophysiology in north-temperate fish
… diet data to evaluate the potential for invasive terrestrial invertebrates to subsidize fish populations, identifying novel population- and water level-dependent trophic interactions. Finally, in Ch. 5, I evaluated the contributions of seasonal somatic flexibility to reproductive outcomes. Here, …

Feeding of Hatchery-reared Brown Trout (Salmo trutta L.) In Relation To The Diet In A South Dakota Stream
… in October. Two peaks in number of drifting invertebrates occurred at night in the samples for May through September and one peak occurred at night in the October sample. All nighttime peaks were a result of changes in the number of drifting benthic and emergent invertebrates; the presence of …

Antarctic biodiversity surveys using high throughput sequencing: understanding landscape and communities of the Prince Charles Mountains.
… fungi, lichen, cryptogamic plants and invertebrates. Antarctic soil communities are distinct from other soil biota as a consequence of long-term persistence under harsh environmental conditions; furthermore their long history of isolation is responsible for a high degree of endemism. Of …
