From biofilms to whale pods, organisms across taxalive in groups, thereby accruing numerous diverse benefits of soci-ality. All social organisms, however, pay the inherent cost of in-creased resource competition. One expects ...

Copepods of the genera Calanus and Pseudocalanus are important components of Arctic marine ecosystems. Despite the key roles of these zooplankters, little is known about the organisms they interact with most intimately, ...

Forest harvest in the boreal zone can increase the input of terrestrial materials such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrate (NO3) into nearby aquatic ecosystems,with potential effects on phytoplankton growth through ...

Variation in fish behaviour seems to be an important part of species’ lifehistory and adaptation to environmental change. Interestingly, variation occurs not only in response to environmental cues, but can also be consistently ...

We outline a new method suggested by Conway (CMDA 125:161–194, 2016) for solving the two-body problem for solid bodies of spheroidal or ellipsoidal shape. The method is based on integrating the gravitational potential ...

Species that exhibit very peculiar ecological traits combined with limited dispersal ability pose a challenge to our understanding of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms. This is especially true when they have managed ...

The current study investigates the direct photochemical degradation of aqueous fluorene with the aid of a 125W polychromatic medium, pressure Hg lamp. The purpose was to test the effectiveness of the lamp in irradiation ...
