Examples of aquatic

• Aquatic organic matter is subject to a hard-water error and is therefore not usable.

• Triculines form a wholly aquatic group exhibiting today an amazing adaptive radiation of three tribes, over 20 genera and more than 120 species.

• Species that depend on large, and/or permanent, aquatic sites for reproduction simply go extinct as is reflected in species composition and turnover patterns.

• It is argued that these features probably reflect common adaptations to the constraints imposed by the aquatic environment.

• Scope for use of stable carbon isotopes in discerning the incorporation of forest detritus into aquatic foodwebs.

• However, there is much work to do in both integration of the theories and applicability of the real aquatic mechanisms.

• In sites where visibility was too poor for observation of tadpoles, such as areas with submerged aquatic vegetation, microhabitats were sampled with a small dipnet.

• It is found that on an average annually about 6 per cent of the total aquatic biomass is utilized by the villagers as fodder.
