Temperature strongly correlates with regional patterns of body size variation in Mediterranean small pelagic fish species
Hattab, Tarek; et. al. (2021-01-01)
In this study we consider the applicability of Bergmann's rule to the populations of small pelagic fish species in the Mediterranean Sea. Under Bergmann's rule, body size increases with decreasing temperature and increasing latitude. Although this mac-roecological pattern in body sizes is well established for many taxa of endotherms and ectotherms, it does not remain universal, and the proposed mechanisms underlying it are multiple and still lack consensus. Here we explored the occurrence of geographical bo...
Temperature Effects Explain Continental Scale Distribution of Cyanobacterial Toxins
MANTZOUKİ, Evanthia; et. al. (2018-04-01)
Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individual toxin variants and environmental factors, such as nutrients, temperature and light. In summer ...
Temperature effects on body size of freshwater crustacean zooplankton from Greenland to the tropics
Havens, Karl E.; Pinto-Coelho, Ricardo Motta; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Christoffersen, Kirsten S.; Jeppesen, Erik; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Mazumder, Asit; Methot, Ginette; Alloul, Bernadette Pinel; Tavsanoglu, U. Nihan; Erdogan, Seyda; Vijverberg, Jacobus (2015-01-01)
The body size of zooplankton has many substantive effects on the function of aquatic food webs. A variety of factors may affect size, and earlier studies indicate that water temperature may be a particularly important variable. Here we tested the hypothesis that the body size of cladocerans, calanoids, and cyclopoids declines with increasing water temperature, a response documented in an earlier study that considered only cladoceran zooplankton. We tested the hypothesis by comparing body size data that were...
Warming Effects on Periphyton Community and Abundance in Different Seasons Are Influenced by Nutrient State and Plant Type: A Shallow Lake Mesocosm Study
Hao, Beibei; Wu, Haoping; Zhen, Wei; Jo, Hyunbin; Cai, Yanpeng; Jeppesen, Erik; Li, Wei (Frontiers Media SA, 2020-4-9)
Periphyton plays an important role in lake ecosystems processes, especially at low and intermediate nutrient levels where periphyton contribution to primary production can be similar to or exceed that of phytoplankton. Knowledge of how periphyton responds to key drivers such as climate change and nutrient enrichment is, therefore, crucial. We conducted a series of mesocosm experiments over four seasons to elucidate the responses of periphyton communities to nutrient (low and high, TN-0.33 mg L-1 TP-7.1 mu g...
Temperature in Turkey and Turkish day ahead electricity market prices : modeling and forecasting
Ünlü, Kamil Demirberk; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012)
One of the key steps of the liberalization of the Turkish electricity market has been the estab- lishment of PMUM (Turkish day ahead electricity market). The aim of this study is to explore the dynamics of electricity prices observed in this market and their relation with temperature observed in Turkey. The electricity price process is studied as a univariate process and the same process is studied along with temperature together as a two-dimensional process. We give a fairly complete model of temperature. ...
