Fishways are built on obstacles to restore the connectivity between aquatic habitats. Our study investigated how species-specific fishways interact with interindividual trait differences among fish. We compared several groups of glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) climbing two types of fishways with those remaining below the water impoundments. We analy...

My project consists to evaluate the impact of the low dissolved oxygen on the prey of an endangered species. I would like to do a shuttle tank experiment to determine the dissolved oxygen threshold from when my animals (crabs) will start reacting. To do so I have the material from Loligo System but I miss one (or two) oxygen analyzer suitable for the software. ( https://www.loligosystems.com/1-channel-oxygen-analyzer-and-probe )
My PhD budget is limited and I know we often buy this kind of material to use only a few times. So I propose to extend its lifetime by using it on another project! (We are located in Hobart, Australia)
We are happy to pay the shipping fees of course, and we can discuss for any other requirement.
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
We have Eucalyptus which make the same kind of fruits, but there are various opening for seeds on this fruits. We don't know if this difference comes from a specimen only or if it comes from two trees (fruits are founded on the flour). But it would seem we have only one specie.
I enclose a picture of fruits.
Thank you for your help !
I try to identify this sepcies, with my books I find Scolymus hispanicus for the closer (I think), but the petals seem differents. We find it in mediterranean climat (on Porquerolles Island, France), near to the sea, with flowers in april.
Can anyone help me please ?

Understanding the threats facing endemic species is crucial to their survival: local extinction could be synonymous with global extinction. The Maugean skate, Zaeraja maugeana, is a restricted endangered species endemic to Macquarie Harbour (MH), although previously observed in Bathurst Harbour, in Western Tasmania. An increase in aquaculture over recent decades in MH has been linked to a degradation of benthic conditions and declines in dissolved oxygen (DO). Until now, studies have focused on the direct impacts of decreasing DO on this skate; in this study, we focus on the indirect threat, namely the response of their prey to the degrading health of the environment. As this skate has a specialised diet, any threats to these prey species could increase the extinction risk of the Maugean skate species, acting as indirect threats. Field assessment of abundance and distribution of two key skate prey species, the crab Paragrapsus gaimardii and the shrimp Palaemon spp., in conjunction with an assessment of the health of the benthic assemblages where these species are sampled, will be examined as a first step. Then, respirometry, blood chemistry and behaviour analysis of these prey species in response to low DO conditions will provide information on how the skate’s prey distribution/abundance may change in response to the changing environment in MH.
