Thus, unlike 'geoscientific' landscape classifications - where physical properties, genetic unity, and homogeneity in both zonal (bioclimatic) and azonal (geology and relief) conditions play the leading roles (Isachenko 1991) - the most important feature in the visual and emotional grouping of landscapes appears to be the presence/absence of water and the type of water basin (river, lake, sea).
The phylactolaemates live in all types of freshwater environment – lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, and estuaries – and are among the most abundant sessile freshwater animals.
Free-living forms are particularly abundant in natural aquatic systems, such as ponds, streams, rivers, lakes , bays, seas , and oceans.
I rode along the seas and oceans, rivers, lakes and bays, occasionally in the company of other riders, but most often alone.
The sea/river ecotype is also relatively more abundant than the lake or kokanee ecotypes in many heavily glaciated drainages on the Yakutat coast of Alaska, and in northern British Columbia (Halupka et al. 1993; Wood 1995).
However, this example illustrates how the sea/river ecotype could have been more abundant than the lake ecotype historically, but be reduced to low abundance (or extirpated) by fisheries that continued to target the most productive lake-type populations.
In fishes, the transition from an anadromous (sea-going) to freshwater resident life history can be important because many anadromous fishes, most notably Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp ., provide important subsidies of marine-derived nutrients to rivers, lakes , and streams (reviewed in Schindler et al. 2003; Quinn 2005; Janetski et al. 2009).
Small population size is typically associated with reduced diversity, so how has diversity remained so high in the sea/river ecotype, which is widespread yet much less abundant than the lake ecotype?
Titan, the largest of the more than 60 natural satellites of Saturn, is covered in seas, lakes and rivers of methane, and hosts a thick atmosphere, making it one of the most Earth-like bodies in the solar system.
This year, 900 lake, river and sea swimming events will be held in the United States, up from 220 in 1999, said Steven Munatones, a California coach who is considered the top open-water-swimming expert.
In our week of travelling around the west coast from Mayo up to Donegal, we fished rivers and lakes , swam in the sea , hiked across peat bogs, climbed "One man's path" up Slieve League, the 600m-high sea cliffs that fall in a sheer testicle-shrinking drop, to the white topped sea below.
