Abstract
The feeding ecology of the two gobiid species monkey goby Neogobius fluviatilis and western tubenose goby
Proterorhinus semilunaris was studied in four natural lakes of the Marmara Region (NW Turkey), with special emphasis on seasonal and ontogenetic shifts in diet. Both species had similar food composition consisting of zooplankton and detritus. However, diet composition of both species significantly varied amongst lakes, and particularly so for
P. semilunaris with seasonal and ontogenetic differences. Diet composition and seasonal/ontogenetic differences were overall similar to other populations of these gobiid species from both their native and nonnative ranges. The present findings suggest high plasticity in the diet of these two gobies, which can opportunistically utilize available food resources.
期刊介绍:
As human populations grow across the planet, water security, biodiversity loss and the loss of aquatic ecosystem services take on ever increasing priority for policy makers. International Review of Hydrobiology brings together in one forum fundamental and problem-oriented research on the challenges facing marine and freshwater biology in an economically changing world. Interdisciplinary in nature, articles cover all aspects of aquatic ecosystems, ranging from headwater streams to the ocean and biodiversity studies to ecosystem functioning, modeling approaches including GIS and resource management, with special emphasis on the link between marine and freshwater environments. The editors expressly welcome research on baseline data. The knowledge-driven papers will interest researchers, while the problem-driven articles will be of particular interest to policy makers. The overarching aim of the journal is to translate science into policy, allowing us to understand global systems yet act on a regional scale.
International Review of Hydrobiology publishes original articles, reviews, short communications, and methods papers.
