Cosmogenic nuclide exposure ages from the ‘Parallel Roads’ of Glen Roy, Scotland - Derek Fabel; David Small; Maria Miguens‐Rodriguez; Stewart P. H. T. Freeman (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2010)
The ‘Parallel Roads’ of Glen Roy, Scotland, are the shorelines of former ice‐dammed lakes created by the last glaciers to occupy the area. We use surface exposure dating with cosmic ray‐produced 10 Be in quartz to provide the first numerical age control on the timing of formation of one of one of these shorelines and depositional features in Glen Roy. Four bedrock samples from the surface of the 325 m ‘Parallel Road’ yielded a mean formation age of ca. 11.5–11.9 ka. This age range confirms the long‐held view that the ‘Parallel Roads’ are Loch Lomond Stadial (ca. 12.9–11.5 ka) features. The age range reflects variation in currently available cosmogenic nuclide scaling schemes and the related 10 Be production rates. Two samples from the surface of the Turret fan indicate that the 260 m lake drained before ca. 10.7–11.0 ka, while two samples from the Brunachan fan suggest that subaerial sedimentation occurred after ca. 9.7–9.9 ka.

Ultrastructure of the intrauterine eggs of Didymobothrium rudolphii (Monticelli, 1890) (Cestoda, Spathebothriidea, Acrobothriidae) and its phylogenetic implications - Zdzisław Świderski; David Gibson; Maria Santos; Larisa Poddubnaya (Acta Parasitologica, 2010)
The intrauterine polylecithal eggs of the spathebothriidean cestode Didymobothrium rudolphii (Monticelli, 1890) were examined by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Each unembryonated egg is composed of a fertilised oocyte or ovum and several vitelline cells, all surrounded by a newly formed shell. The lumen of the proximal uterus is packed with unutilised vitelline material and eggs at different stages of shell formation. In the proximal region of the uterus, the fertilised oocytes, initially surrounded by dense, discontinuous islands of eggshell material and containing long axonemes of spermatozoa in their cytoplasm, were frequently observed. Sperm axonemes also remain in the oocyte cytoplasm of eggs surrounded by a thick electron-dense shell until the sperm nucleus is transformed into a male pronucleus. Despite the fact that the two-pronuclei stage and cell divisions within the eggs of D. rudolphii were never observed, individual eggs containing several blastomeres of different sizes were seen in the middle and distal regions of the uterus. This provides indirect evidence that at least a few initial cleavage divisions must take place in the intrauterine eggs and direct evidence that the early embryonic development of D. rudolphii starts in utero. The several vitellocytes present in each egg contain nutritive reserves for the developing embryos; these are composed mainly of numerous lipid droplets and a moderate amount of glycogen. In the eggs containing early embryos composed of several blastomeres, the cytoplasm of the degenerating vitellocytes exhibits the presence of so-called ‘foci of cytoplasmic degradation’, which appear to be involved in the autolytic process of the vitellocyte cell components and inclusions, such as a high accumulation of lipids and glycogen. This progressive degeneration of the vitellocytes, considered as an example of programmed cell death or apoptosis, likely contributes towards the resorption of nutritive reserves by the developing embryo. Some of the results of this study are commented upon in relation to the affiliation of the spathebothriideans with other lower cestode groups.

Testing species abundance models: a new bootstrap approach applied to Indo‐Pacific coral reefs - Sean R. Connolly; Maria Dornelas; David R. Bellwood; Terence P. Hughes (Ecology, 2009)
Patterns in the commonness and rarity of species are a fundamental characteristic of ecological assemblages; however, testing between alternative models for such patterns remains an important challenge. Conventional approaches to fitting or testing species abundance models often assume that species, not individuals, are the units that are sampled and that species' abundances are independent of one another. Here we test three different models (the Poisson lognormal, the negative binomial, and the neutral, “zero‐sum multinomial” [ZSM]) against species abundance distributions of Indo‐Pacific corals and reef fishes. We derive and apply several alternative bootstrap analyses of model fit, each of which makes different assumptions about how species abundance data are sampled, and we assess the extent to which tests of model fit are sensitive to such assumptions. For all models, goodness of fit is remarkably consistent, regardless of whether one assumes that species or individuals are the units that are sampled or whether or not one assumes that species' abundances are statistically independent of one another. However, goodness‐of‐fit estimates are approximately twice as precise and detect lack of model fit more frequently, when based on sampling of individuals, rather than species. Bootstrap analyses indicate that the Poisson lognormal distribution exhibits substantially better fit to species abundance patterns, consistent with model selection analyses. In particular, heterogeneity in species abundances (many rare and few highly abundant species) is too great to be captured by the ZSM model or the negative binomial model and is best explained by models that predict species abundance patterns that are much closer, but not identical, to the lognormal distribution. More broadly, our bootstrap analyses suggest that estimates of model fit are likely to be robust to assumptions about the statistical interdependence of species abundances, but that tests of model fit are more powerful when they assume sampling of individuals, rather than species. Such individual‐based tests therefore may be able to identify lack of model fit where previous tests have been inconclusive.

Stage‐structured matrix models for organisms with non‐geometric development times - Andrew Birt; Richard M. Feldman; David M. Cairns; Robert N. Coulson; Maria Tchakerian; Weimin Xi; James M. Guldin (Ecology, 2009)
Matrix models have been used to model population growth of organisms for many decades. They are popular because of both their conceptual simplicity and their computational efficiency. For some types of organisms they are relatively accurate in predicting population growth; however, for others the matrix approach does not adequately model growth rate. One of the reasons for the lack of accuracy is that most matrix‐based models implicitly assume a specific degree of variability in development times for the organism. Because the variability is implicit, the implied variances are often not verified with experimental data. In this paper, we shall present extensions to the stage‐classified matrix models so that organisms with arbitrary means and standard deviations of development times can be modeled.

Hydrogeomorphic features mediate the effects of land use/cover on reservoir productivity and food webs - Mary T. Bremigan; Patricia A. Soranno; Maria J. Gonzalez; David B. Bunnell; Kristi K. Arend; William H. Renwick; Roy A. Stein; Michael J. Vanni (Limnology and Oceanography, 2008)
Although effects of land use/cover on nutrient concentrations in aquatic systems are well known, half or more of the variation in nutrient concentration remains unexplained by land use/cover alone. Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) landscape features can explain much remaining variation and influence food web interactions. To explore complex linkages among land use/cover, HGM features, reservoir productivity, and food webs, we sampled 11 Ohio reservoirs, ranging broadly in agricultural catchment land use/cover, for 3 years. We hypothesized that HGM features mediate the bottom‐up effects of land use/cover on reservoir productivity, chlorophyll a, zooplankton, and recruitment of gizzard shad, an omnivorous fish species common throughout southeastern U.S. reservoirs and capable of exerting strong effects on food web and nutrient dynamics. We tested specific hypotheses using a model selection approach. Percent variation explained was highest for total nitrogen ( R 2 = 0.92), moderately high for total phosphorus, chlorophyll a , and rotifer biomass ( R 2 = 0.57 to 0.67), relatively low for crustacean zooplankton biomass and larval gizzard shad hatch abundance ( R 2 = 0.43 and 0.42), and high for larval gizzard shad survivor abundance ( R 2 = 0.79). The trophic status models included agricultural land use/cover and an HGM predictor, whereas the zooplankton models had few HGM predictors. The larval gizzard shad models had the highest complexity, including more than one HGM feature and food web components. We demonstrate the importance of integrating land use/cover, HGM features, and food web interactions to investigate critical interactions and feedbacks among physical, chemical, and biological components of linked land‐water ecosystems.

Landscape Modeling for Forest Restoration Planning and Assessment: Lessons from the Southern Appalachian Mountains - Weimin Xi; Robert N. Coulson; John D. Waldron; Maria D. Tchakerian; Charles W. Lafon; David M. Cairns; Andrew G. Birt; Kier D. Klepzig (Journal of Forestry, 2008)
Restoration planning, evaluation, and implementation are important in areas where abiotic disturbances (e.g., wildfires, hurricanes, and ice storms), biotic disturbances (e.g., outbreaks of native and exotic invasive pests and diseases), and anthropogenic disturbances (e.g., harvesting, planting, and fire exclusion) have altered forest landscapes. However, the effects of restoration practices are difficult to measure, and restoration goals often are unclear. Landscape modeling provides a tool for evaluating outcomes of various management scenarios and restoration strategies. In this article, we provide a framework for using landscape models for forest restoration. Specifically, we present a case study using LANDIS, a landscape simulation model of forest disturbance and succession, to explore the effects of restoration strategies for forests damaged by southern pine beetle in the southern Appalachians. Our research suggests that landscape models are valuable tools in the forest restoration decisionmaking process. Future work on landscape models for forest restoration and other related issues is discussed.

Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework - Brian J. McGill; Rampal S. Etienne; John S. Gray; David Alonso; Marti J. Anderson; Habtamu Kassa Benecha; Maria Dornelas; Brian J. Enquist; Jessica L. Green; Fangliang He; Allen H. Hurlbert; Anne E. Magurran; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2007)
Species abundance distributions (SADs) follow one of ecology’s oldest and most universal laws – every community shows a hollow curve or hyperbolic shape on a histogram with many rare species and just a few common species. Here, we review theoretical, empirical and statistical developments in the study of SADs. Several key points emerge. (i) Literally dozens of models have been proposed to explain the hollow curve. Unfortunately, very few models are ever rejected, primarily because few theories make any predictions beyond the hollow‐curve SAD itself. (ii) Interesting work has been performed both empirically and theoretically, which goes beyond the hollow‐curve prediction to provide a rich variety of information about how SADs behave. These include the study of SADs along environmental gradients and theories that integrate SADs with other biodiversity patterns. Central to this body of work is an effort to move beyond treating the SAD in isolation and to integrate the SAD into its ecological context to enable making many predictions. (iii) Moving forward will entail understanding how sampling and scale affect SADs and developing statistical tools for describing and comparing SADs. We are optimistic that SADs can provide significant insights into basic and applied ecological science.

Phylogeny of the parasitic wasp subfamily Charipinae (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae) - Jordi Paretas‐Martínez; Miquel A. Arnedo; George Melika; Jesús Selfa; Maria Victoria Seco‐Fernández; David Fülöp; Juli Pujade‐Villar (Zoologica Scripta, 2007)
The Charipinae are a major group of hyperparasitoids of Hemiptera. Here, we present the first cladistic analysis of this subfamily's internal relationships, based on 96 morphological characters of adults. The data matrix was analysed using uniformly weighted parsimony. The effects of using alternative weighting schemes were explored by performing additional searches employing implied weights criteria. One of the caveats of implied weights analysis is that it lacks an objective criterion for selecting the value of the concavity function. In the present study, differential weighting was used to explore the sensitivity of our results to the alternative assumptions made in the analysis and to select one of the most parsimonious trees under equal weights, which we regard as being the hypothesis that minimizes the amount of ad hoc assumptions. The validity of the two existing tribes and the monophyly of all the genera of Charipinae were tested, in particular the cosmopolitan and highly species‐rich Alloxysta and Phaenoglyphis , which appear repeatedly in ecological and biochemical studies of host–parasitoid associations. The evolution of several major characters and the relationships between genera are discussed. On the basis of the phylogenetic results, we discuss a number of taxonomic issues. A new classification of the subfamily is proposed in which no tribes are maintained, Carvercharips is synonymyzed with Alloxysta , and the creation of a new genus from Nepal is justified. Our analysis points to the need for a world revision of the basal genus Phaenoglyphis , which is shown as paraphyletic.

Adaptation of the antioxidant defence system in hydrothermal‐vent mussels ( Bathymodiolus azoricus ) transplanted between two Mid‐Atlantic Ridge sites - Rui Company; Angela Serafim; Richard Cosson; Aline Fiala‐Médioni; David R. Dixon; Maria João Bebianno (Marine Ecology, 2007)
The vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus is the dominant member of the Northern Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR) hydrothermal megafauna, and lives in an environment characterized by temporal and spatial variations in the levels of heavy metals, methane and hydrogen sulphide, substances which are known to increase reactive oxygen species levels in the tissues of exposed organisms. To evaluate the effects of two contrasting hydrothermal environments on the antioxidant defence system of this vent mussel species, a 2‐week transplant experiment was carried out involving mussels collected from the relatively deep (2300 m), and chemical rich, Rainbow vent field. These were transplanted to the shallower (1700 m), and relatively less toxic, Lucky Strike vent field. To achieve this objective, levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase (CAT), total glutathione peroxidase (GPx), selenium‐dependent glutathione peroxidase and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were measured in the gills and mantle tissues of resident and transplant mussels before and after the transplant experiment. With the exception of CAT, the gills of the transplanted mussels had significantly higher antioxidant enzyme activity compared with the basal levels in the donor (Rainbow) and recipient (Lucky Strike) populations; whereas the antioxidant enzyme levels in the mantle tissues of the transplants reflected the baseline levels of activity in the native Lucky Strike mussels after 2 weeks. In contrast, LPO levels were significantly higher in both tissue types in the transplants than in either the source or the recipient populations, which suggested a response to hydrostatic pressure change (note, the transplant animals were brought to the surface for transportation between the two vent fields). The fact that the Rainbow mussels survived the transplant experience indicates that B. azoricus has a very robust constitution, which enables it to cope behaviourally, physiologically and genetically with the extreme conditions found in its naturally contaminated deep‐sea environment.

Raikova, O. I., Reuter, M., Gustafsson, M. K. S., Maule, A. G., Halton, D. W. & Jondelius, U. (2004). Evolution of the nervous system in Paraphanostoma (Acoela). — Zoologica Scripta, 33 , 71–88. According to recent molecular studies, the Acoela are the earliest extant bilaterian group. Their nervous system displays a striking variety of patterns. The aim of the present investigation was to study the variability of the nervous system in a monophyletic group of the Acoela. Six species of Paraphanostoma were chosen for the study. Using immunocytochemical methods and confocal scanning laser microscopy, the immunoreactive patterns of serotonin (5‐HT) and the neuropeptide GYIRFamide were described in detail. The study has demonstrated that the brains in Paraphanostoma species, although diverse in detail, still follow the same general pattern. 18S rDNA sequences were used to generate a hypothesis of the phylogeny within the group. Characters of the nervous system revealed in this study were coded and analysed together with 18S rDNA data. Several synapomorphies in the nervous system characters were identified. However, numerous parallelisms in the nervous system evolution have occurred. Data obtained demonstrate that the genus Paraphanostoma is closely related to Childia and should belong to the same family, Childiidae.

The fate of nitrogen in the Orbulina universa foraminifera‐symbiont system determined by nitrogen isotope analyses of shell‐bound organic matter - Maria E. Uhle; Stephen A. Macko; Howard J. Spero; David W. Lea; William F. Ruddiman; Michael H. Engel (Limnology and Oceanography, 1999)
To trace the flow of nitrogen through the foraminifera‐symbiont system, juvenile specimens of the symbiont‐bearing planktonic foraminifera, Orbulina universa were collected by SCUBA divers off the coast of Santa Catalina Island, California, and grown in filtered seawater solutions spiked with 15 N‐labeled nitrate. Our work isolated each pathway of this symbiotic system to determine the amount of nitrogen translocated to the foraminifera from its endosymbionts and its captured diet. Our model results show that when the nitrate uptake by the symbionts is at a maximum, between 50 and 57% of the foraminiferal nitrogen was translocated from the symbionts and the remainder was derived from the captured diet. In nitrate‐deficient environments, when the symbiont nitrate uptake was at a minimum, ∼90–100% of the nitrogen was transferred to the foraminifer by the symbionts from the recycled nitrogen (NH 4 + ) pool. In nitrate‐deficient conditions, the primary role of the captured diet may be to provide the system with phosphorous. Highly efficient nutrient use is particularly important to the foraminifera‐symbiont system, especially when nutrient concentrations are low. The results indicate a limited correlation between the isotopic composition of the NO 3 − in the culture solutions and the Δ 15 n values of the foraminifera. However, the δ 15 n values of the foraminifera much more strongly reflect the δ 15 n values of the NH 4 + recycled through the system. It appears that recycled nitrogen (NH 4 + ) is a more important source of nitrogen to the symbionts and the foraminifera than nitrate; therefore, the δ 15 n values of the foraminifera may not reflect the isotopic composition of the surface‐water nutrients. Understanding the nitrogen flow within modern foraminifera‐symbiont associations is also important to ancient marine systems, because symbiont‐bearing foraminifera are ubiquitous in the fossil record. This study shows that analysis of individual, symbiont‐bearing foraminifera species is a necessary first step toward the development of more reliable use of nitrogen isotopes for paleoceanographic reconstructions.
