The communities of Laurencia Lamouroux are predominam among the dendroid algal communities of the Cape Verde Islands. These are found all around the islands; the most abundant species are Laurencia majuscula (Harvey) Lucas ...

We found that four 10-minute samples of chironomid surface floating pupal exuviae per season were sufficient to characterize 91-100% of the abundant taxa in chironomid communities of urban lakes with contrasting trophic ...

A phytosociological study of the Cystoseira abies-marina (Gmelin) C. Agardh communitie has been carried out in the Canary Islands. An exhaustive description of this taxon is done as the most abundance species of the subtidal ...

This paper summarises one year's colletions from three (of a total of six) rivers, in order to establish a Regional monitoring method for biological assessment of water quality, impact assessment, land-use and river habitat ...

This study reports on a visual census of the ichtyofauna of the sea front of Funchal in order to describe the fish community assemblages associated with the bottom habitats. This is a more quantitative approach following ...

Chironomid pupal exuviae were collected along a stretch of the River Elbe (Germany) to test whether they indicated industrial pollution impacts on the river biota. The communities found were typical for a potamal river ...

Living organisms as well as ecosystems can be regarded as 'dynamical systems' (in the physical sense), and thus the theory of deterministic chaos can be applied to them, to elucidate both the ontogenesis of individuals, ...

The terrestrial and freshwater faunas of North and South Atlantic island faunas are discussed in relation to the twin hypotheses of survival in refugia and postglacial immigration. The palaeoclimatological record and ...

The following families of macrolepidoptera occur in Northern Macaronesia (archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores): Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Danaidae, Nymphalidae (Satyrinae and Nymphalinae), Geometridae, Sphingidae, Arctiidae ...
