Allee effect limits colonization success of sexually reproducing zooplankton.

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Understanding the dynamics of populations at low density and the role of Allee effects is a priority due to concern about the decline of rare species and interest in colonization/invasion dynamics. Despite well-developed theory and observational support, experimental examinations of the Allee effect in natural systems are rare, partly because of logistical difficulties associated with experiments at low population density. We took advantage of fish introduction and removal in alpine lakes to experimentally test for the Allee effect at the whole-ecosystem scale. The large copepod Hesperodiaptomus shoshone is often extirpated from the water column by fish and sometimes fails to recover following fish disappearance, despite the presence of a long-lived egg bank. Population growth rate of this dioecious species may be limited by mate encounter rate, such that below some critical density a colonizing population will fail to establish. We conducted a multi-lake experiment in which H. shoshone was stocked at densities that bracketed our hypothesized critical density of 0.5-5 copoepods/m3. Successful recovery by the copepod was observed only in the lake with the highest initial density (3 copepods/m3). Copepods stocked into small cages at 3000 copepods/m3 survived and reproduced at rates comparable to natural populations, confirming that the lakes were suitable habitat for this species. In support of mate limitation as the mechanism underlying recovery failure, we found a significant positive relationship between mating success and density across experimental and natural H. shoshone populations. Furthermore, a mesocosm experiment provided evidence of increased per capita population growth rate with increasing population density in another diaptomid species, Skistodiaptomus pallidus. Together, these lines of evidence support the importance of the Allee effect to population recovery of H. shoshone in the Sierra Nevada, and to diaptomid copepods in general.

Interactive effects of nitrogen deposition and climate change on a globally rare forest geophyte.

Plant Biol (Stuttg)

December 2024

Department of Vegetation Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation, Institute of Ecology, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Lüneburg, Germany.

Nitrogen (N) deposition and climate change are both known to threaten global biodiversity. However, we still have a limited understanding of how interactions between these global change drivers affect individuals and populations of specialist species, such as geophytes, within their natural habitat. We explored possible interactive effects of N, drought, and warming on population vitality (mean leaf length, leaf density, flowering probability) and morpho-physiological traits (e.

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been frequently used to examine age-related deterioration of white matter microstructure and its relationship to cognitive decline. However, typical tensor-based analytical approaches are often difficult to interpret due to the challenge of decomposing and (mis)interpreting the impact of crossing fibers within a voxel. We hypothesized that a novel analytical approach capable of resolving fiber-specific changes within each voxel (i.

The final disposal of corpses is one of the activities that generates the greatest pollution. Chemicals, embalming fluids, greenhouse gas emissions, and other factors trigger contamination of soils and water sources in towns near cemeteries. This study aimed to validate empirical environmental equations to determine the suitability of territories for cemetery location in several cantons of Central Ecuador, address study variables measured in the field, and update the bibliography as a rapid decision-making tool for decentralized governments.

Fuelwood is the primary source of heat energy for tea processing, but its availability is declining due to population growth and logging restrictions. This study aimed to optimize the economics of biomass fuel mixtures for tea processing boilers by integrating macadamia nutshells as a supplementary fuelwood. The objective was to develop a cost-effective fuel mix strategy using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and MATLAB simulations.

Pregnancy- and lactation-related bone fragility: The hidden risk.

Jt Dis Relat Surg

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Harvard Medical School, The Center For Advanced Orthopedic Studies, BIDMC, Boston, MA, 02215 USA.

Pregnancy and lactation significantly alter bone homeostasis, potentially leading to impaired bone quality and mineralization due to the increased metabolic demands of the developing offspring. While most women with osteopenia during these periods experience a return to baseline bone density after weaning, some may remain at risk for fractures, particularly in cancellous bone. There are inconsistencies in current reports on fracture risk and appropriate treatment strategies.
