Changes in functional composition and diversity of waterbirds: The roles of water level and submerged macrophytes

Water level and submerged macrophytes are critical players for the functioning of shallow lake ecosystems; understanding how waterbird communities respond to changes in both can have important implications for conservation and management. Here, we evaluated the effects of changes in water level and submerged macrophyte status on wintering waterbird community size, functional group abundances, functional diversity (FD), and community assembly by using a dataset compiled over 50 years.

Changes in plant-herbivore network structure and robustness along land-use intensity gradients in grasslands and forests

Land-use intensification poses major threats to biodiversity, such as to insect herbivore communities. The stability of these communities depends on interactions linking herbivores and host plants. How interaction network structure begets robustness, and thus stability, in different ecosystems and how network structure and robustness are altered along land-use intensity gradients are unclear. We analyzed plant-herbivore networks based on literature-derived interactions and long-term sampling from 289 grassl...
Changes in biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes and macrobenthos in the Southern Caspian Sea after the invasion of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis Leidyi

Monitoring for 6 years (2001-2006) showed that the population explosion of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the southern Caspian Sea coincided with a decline in the abundance and species number of mesozooplankton. While this decline appeared to have reduced the nourishment of sprat (also known as kilka), it seemed to have affected phytoplankton favorably mainly due to the decrease in grazing pressure. During 2001-2002, when M. leidyi abundance and biomass were at their highest levels, abundance of ...
Changes in the structure and digestion fractions of wheat starch cooked with and without fiber
Ataç, Leyla Elif; Şensoy, İlkay; Department of Food Engineering (2021-2-10)
Starch digestibility affects blood glucose levels. Dietary fibers had been shown to slow down starch digestibility. Therefore, the objective was to understand the effect of fiber type on in vitro digestion of wheat starch. Wheat starch with and without fiber was heated at 90°C for 10 minutes at three different water concentrations (50%, 65%, and 80%). The starch to fiber ratio was 1:1 (dry basis) for the fiber added samples. In vitro digestion analyses were conducted for wheat starch with or without psylliu...
