Multiple clones were initiated from stem females hatched from resting eggs in the sediment and cultured on <i>Cryptomonas erosa</i>, an alga containing tocopherol (vitamin E) required for induction of mictic females and hence production of males and fertilised resting eggs. Two hypotheses regarding the commitment of <i>A. brightwellii</i> to sexual reproduction were considered. First, does its propensity for sex differ in early and late parthenogenetic generations after stem females hatch? Second, is its propensity for sex affected by its population density?</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Experiments testing eight clones over 10 successive generations from the stem female showed no significant effect of generation on propensity for mictic-female production. Percentages of mictic females in small populations initiated by juvenile females from each generation generally were low (grand mean of 9%).</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Experiments with five clones showed that the propensity for mictic-female production was density independent. Percentages of mictic daughters produced by single amictic females cultured from birth in 70 mL or 2 mL did not differ significantly and generally were low (0%–18%).</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>The persistent and low propensity for sexual reproduction in laboratory populations of these <i>A. brightwellii</i> clones suggests a low, fixed propensity for sex whenever the diet contains tocopherol and allows induction of mictic females. Such a life cycle strategy appears suitable for an ephemeral habitat, where the duration of hydroperiods and growing seasons is very short and unpredictable. It assures the production of some resting eggs soon after population development without greatly limiting the potential for rapid population growth via female parthenogenesis. Clones with a relatively high propensity for sex may have an advantage during shorter growing seasons, and vice versa.</li>\u0000 </ol>\u0000 \u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12365,"journal":{"name":"Freshwater Biology","volume":"70 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145181605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baxter,&nbsp;Dana R. Warren,&nbsp;Keeley L.

Though development of meta-community theory has suggested that such spatial dynamics may help sustain biodiversity, empirical data remain limited. In northern Yellowstone National Park, over a century of terrestrial wildlife dynamics, including the extirpation and subsequent reintroduction of wolves, have contributed to a habitat mosaic in which stream-riparian ecosystems are dominated by either woody or herbaceous vegetation. In the context of this habitat mosaic, we addressed the overarching questions: (1) Are habitat mosaics associated with spatial and temporal variation in reciprocal fluxes and linked food webs and (2) how do biodiversity, organism traits and species interactions influence, and are they influenced by, that spatial and temporal variation?&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;From 2019 to 2021, we intensively sampled eight headwater streams to characterise reciprocal fluxes of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates and the patterns of potential responses by fish, birds, bats and spiders. We evaluated sites individually as well as how they contributed to a meta-community.&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;We found that local stream-riparian ecosystems contributed to a mosaic in which reciprocal fluxes of invertebrates among local patches were asynchronous and tracked by both aquatic and terrestrial consumers in ways mediated by organism traits. Within sites, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate fluxes were seasonally asynchronous with each other, but these patterns varied from site to site. Across the mosaic, comparisons of daily aquatic insect emergence varied from 25% to 167% among streams and did so variably throughout the year, revealing asynchronous dynamics created at the meta-community scale. Daily inputs of terrestrial invertebrates were similarly asynchronous across the mosaic, varying from 14% to 170%. These asynchronies were positively correlated with invertebrate beta diversity and associated with varying riparian vegetation, stream temperature, and flow regimes. In turn, in situ consumers tracked the allochthonous invertebrate prey in ways that were mediated by site context (i.e., local habitat characteristics) and consumer traits (e.g., range, foraging strategy and breeding requirements).&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;Based on these observations as an example, we infer there is not one way for food webs to be reciprocally and spatially linked, but multiple ways that can vary both across a spatial mosaic and through time.
