The effects of meiofauna on settling macrofauna: meiofauna may structure macrofaunal communities The effects of meiofauna on settling macrofauna: meiofauna may structure macrofaunal communities

When macrofaunal larvae and juveniles recruit into the benthos, they are in the same size category as the meiofauna. These small size classes have been consistently ignored in macrofaunal studies despite the increasingly accepted idea that communities are structured not only by interactions between adults, but also by interactions which occurred when the animals were young and in the...

Accumulation, sublethal effects, and safe concentration of a refined oil as evaluated with cutthroat trout Accumulation, sublethal effects, and safe concentration of a refined oil as evaluated with cutthroat trout

Cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) were exposed for 90 days in the laboratory to a refined oil collected from the North Platte River at a seepage site below the American Oil Company refinery at Casper, Wyoming. Fish were exposed to five concentrations and a control, and seven biological responses (survival, growth, gill pathology, liver pathology, caudal fin erosion, caudal fin pathology and...
