The classical approach of limnologists has been to consider the interactions between lake
ecosystem components as an unidirectional flow of influence from nutrients to the …

There is strong evidence that rotifers cannot become abundant members of freshwater
zooplankton communities in the presence of large (≳ 1.2 mm) Daphnia. Indirect evidence …

All life is chemical. That fact underpins the develo** field of ecological stoichiometry, the
study of the balance of chemical elements in ecological interactions. This long-awaited book …

The very etymology of Ecology, from the greek'Qikos','the household', implies that ecologists
should devote some attention to the'house'or habitat of the population or community they are …

A heuristic framework for understanding and predicting the distribution and categorical

Zooplankters have potential value as assessors of tropic conditions. They respond quickly to
environmental change and may be effective indicators of subtle alterations in water quality …

This paper explores the notion that the theoretical basis for contemporary research
concerning the structure and function of marine pelagic ecosystems is self-limiting. While …

Natural selection operates at the life history level to maximize the number of surviving
offspring. Life history characteristics will vary in consistent patterns to meet this constraint …

Signaling proteins are thought to be tightly regulated spatially and temporally in order to
generate specific and localized effects. For Rac and other small guanosine triphosphatases …

In two linked, shallow, freshwater basins, phytoplankton densities in summer were very
different. Hudsons Bay supported a large stand of water lilies, and the adjacent open water …
