Abstract:

Mammals in freshwater aquatic systems play important roles as ecosystem engineers, trophic transfer agents, and apex predators, thus acting as indicators of freshwater ecosystem function. Watersheds inhabited by semi-aquatic mammals have increased links between adjacent terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems compared to watersheds where they are not present. Semi-aquatic mammals not only exert top-down influences on streams, but are affected by bottom-up forces from the riparian system itself. The goal of this study was to identify variables that correlate with the presence of beaver (Castor ca

Abstract:

Species invasions threaten the integrity of biotic communities, as invaders may outcompete and replace resident species. For many aquatic invaders, species replacements are driven by aggression. I explored this phenomenon through a quantitative synthesis and laboratory experiments. A quantitative synthesis of published studies on aggression in aquatic invaders found that body size and prior residency generally mediate the outcome of aggressive encounters, but there is no consistent tradeoff between intra- and interspecific aggression. As the majority of studies on agonistic interactions fo

Abstract:

Understanding the evolutionary processes underlying extant biodiversity may help us to comprehend why species richness is not equally distributed between clades. One of the main causes to explain the disparity of species richness is the development of key innovations in particular clades, increasing or decreasing their capabilities to occupy new environments, to exploit novel resources or to cope with competition. The present thesis focuses on explaining the macroevolutionary consequences of two of the most common habitat transitions in aquatic environments: between environments with different

Due to the complex nature of aquatic food webs, the interaction between abiotic and biotic factors that govern ecosystem dynamics is often elusive. Recent advancements in both the collection of reliable field data and the development of ecological models have enabled researchers to gain insights into these more complex interactions. In this study the relationship between physical and ecological processes has been explored by applying a process based coupled physical and ecological model (DYRESM-CAEDYM) to the data sets of three aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract:

Amphibians and aquatic invertebrates have complex life histories that link aquatic and terrestrial food webs. It has been suggested that amphibian reproduction is an important source of carbon to some aquatic systems. This process of energy flow may be shaped by shifts in habitat selection in response to predators. We hypothesized that predators decrease colonization and oviposition of prey, reducing active inputs. Thus predation risk is expected to shift the relative amounts of active and passive subsidies. We manipulated the presence of fish predators in aquatic mesocosms. Results suggest hy

The nymphal diet was primarily leaf detritus, with a small percentage of moss and animal matter.

Watershed output (export per unit area per unit of time) is predicted using atmospheric deposition rates, an element bonding strength index, the watershed area and a forest classification (deciduous vs coniferous).

Abstract:

<p> In large, seasonally dynamic and spatially complex watersheds, the availability and relative importance of various food resources for stream fishes can be expected to vary substantially. While numerous studies have attempted to uncover the trophic linkages that support stream salmonids, much of these efforts have occurred at small scales that disregard variability of food resources inherent in lotic systems. This study aimed to determine large-scale patterns in the contributions of freshwater, terrestrial, and marine-derived food resources to juvenile Chinook and Coho salmon (<i>Oncorhynch

Abstract:

During the last years, there has been an increase in the number and intensity of disturbances, and their consequences related with global change, which have corroborated the already forecasted scenarios. One example are wildfires, which are expected to increase both in intensity and extension in the near future. However, although the extensive research carried out to understand wildfire impacts, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding its consequences on freshwater temporary ponds. These temporary habitats constitute small biodiversity reservoirs, holding singular and iconic fauna. Nowada

Abstract:

Fishing is a potent ecological force that can impact the density and distribution of fish stocks as well as fitness-related traits. In this thesis I examined eco-phenotypic change in the introduced Nile perch of Lake Nabugabo (East Africa) in response to decades of intense fishing pressure. I quantified temporal (12 years) and spatial variation (wetland vs. exposed habitats) in the a) size, b) catch per unit effort, c) diet, and d) gill morphology of Nile perch, by comparing field data collected in 2007 t

Abstract:

<p> During the Late Woodland Period in the American Southeast, the amount of space that any individual group could exploit began to shrink, due to the presence of other groups on the landscape. Resource expansion occurred to augment food supplies, resulting in increased exploitation of mussel beds. Because mussels can be extremely sensitive to the characteristics of the waterways they live in, the specific habitat requirements of these animals can be used to reconstruct the environments they were recovered from. In this thesis I use freshwater mussel assemblages to reconstruct hypothetical aqu
