Desynchronizing effects of lightning strike disturbances on cyclic forest dynamics in mangrove plantations. (2011)
Journal Article
Kautz, M., Berger, U., Stoyan, D., Vogt, J., Khan, N. I., Diele, K., …Nam, V. N. (2011). Desynchronizing effects of lightning strike disturbances on cyclic forest dynamics in mangrove plantations. Aquatic Botany, 95, 173-181. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquabot.2011.05.005

Plantations released from management are vulnerable to transient oscillations until cohort dynamics are broken and the vertical and horizontal structures of the plantation are transformed to those of more natural forests. Cohort-desynchronizing facto... Read More about Desynchronizing effects of lightning strike disturbances on cyclic forest dynamics in mangrove plantations..

Influence of salinity on the larval development of the fiddler crab Uca vocator (Ocypodidae) as an indicator of ontogenetic migration towards offshore waters (2011)
Journal Article
de Jesus de Brito Simith, D., de Souza, A. S., Maciel, C. R., Abrunhosa, F. A., & Diele, K. (2012). Influence of salinity on the larval development of the fiddler crab Uca vocator (Ocypodidae) as an indicator of ontogenetic migration towards offshore waters. Helgoland Marine Research, 66, 77-85. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10152-011-0249-0

Larvae of many marine decapod crustaceans are released in unpredictable habitats with strong salinity fluctuations during the breeding season. In an experimental laboratory study, we investigated the influence of seven different salinities (0, 5, 10,...
