Low-temperature tolerance of African jewelfish, (Hemichromis letourneuxi)

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Florida Integrated Science Center (FISC, Gainesville) | Format: URL

fl.biology.usgs.gov — Because the African jewelfish has a broad salinity tolerance, scientists tested how the species low-temperature tolerance varied at three salinities: freshwater (0 ppt), brackish (10 ppt) and marine (35 ppt) in the laboratory. A field experiment was then conducted to examine the survivorship of individuals when caged in several common aquatic More...

Community Structure and Adaptive Strategies of Fungi in Geothermal Soils

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC, Seattle) | Format: URL

wfrc.usgs.gov — There are approximately 500,000 abandoned mines in the western US. Collectively, these mines pollute rivers, streams, and western reservoirs with millions of tons of metals annually that degrade aquatic habitat and water used by humans for drinking, recreation, and irrigation. However, there is great potential in decreasing or eliminating the flow More...
