Using field- and laboratory-based experiments, we tested hypotheses concerning whether different levels of sedimentation affected algal germling survival and algal zygote attachment, and whether the interactions of grazers and sediments affected germling survival.
In many cases the fungus and the alga which together make the lichen may each be found living in nature without its partner, but many other lichens include a fungus which cannot survive on its own -- it has become dependent on its algal partner for survival.
Platt, T., Fuentes-Yaco, C. & Frank, K. Spring algal bloom and larval fish survival.
with a mixed algal diet had increased the survival rates of fish by 99.7% compared to the conventional feeds (96.5%).
Through monitoring and evaluating activities, scientists track algal blooms, rainfall shifts, frog survival, air quality, possible toxins in decomposing trash anything affecting or resulting from an environmental factor.
Ukeles, R. The effect of temperature on the growth and survival of several marine algal species.
As algal organic matter (AOM) enhances the survival of FC (Bouteleux et al. 2005), depending on the variety of individual DOM present, DOM may either support the survival or destruction of FC.
This result indicates that selection for survival at the low food concentration (700 algal cells/mL) would favor survival at the medium food concentration (2800 algal cells/mL), and vice versa.
The presence of algal endosymbionts in the planulae may increase their survival as these are an important energy source [37].
The effects of algal density, water flow and substrate type on the survival and growth of newly metamorphosed juveniles of the rainbow mussel (Villosa iris) were investigated in 40 l recirculating culture systems.
