Fotoperiodismo en la Guerra del Rif (1909)

[ES] En 1909 España entró en guerra con Marruecos, un conflicto armado que ha pasado a la historia como la guerra del Rif. En el transcurso de la misma cambiaron muchas casas en España, pues una población descontenta logró derrocar a un gobierno que promovió la injusta medida de enviar al frente a los reservistas. Paralelamente a ello, esta guerra significó el inicio efectivo del fotoperiodismo en España, ya que las principales revistas gráficas enviaron al escenario del conflicto a reporteros que semanalmente enviaban sus fotografías desde el mismísimo campo de batalla.

Testing zooplankton secondary production against growth in the marine mysid, "Leptomysis lingvura" (G.O. Sars, 1866)

[EN]Zooplankton growth and secondary production are key input parameters in marine ecosystem modelling, but their direct measurement is difficult to make. Accordingly, zooplanktologists have developed several statistical-based secondary production models. Here, three of these secondary production models are tested in Leptomysis lingvura (Mysidacea, Crustacea). Mysid length was measured in two cultures grown on two different food concentrations. The relationship between length and dry-mass was determined in a pilot study and used to calculate dry-mass from the experimental length data. Growth rates ranged from 0.11 to 0.64 , while secondary production rates ranged from 1.77 to 12.23 mg dry-mass . None of the three selected models were good predictors of growth and secondary production in this species of mysid.

Can zooplankton secondary production models predict growth in the marine mysid Leptomysis lingvura (G.O. Sars, 1866)?

[EN]Zooplankton growth and secondary production are key input parameters in marine ecosystem models, but their direct measurement is difficult to make. Accordingly, zooplanktologists have developed several statistical-based secondary production models. Here, three of these secondary production models are tested in the marine mysid Leptomysis lingvura (Mysidacea, Crustacea). Mysid length was measured in two cultures twice a day, which were grown on two different food concentrations. Growth rates ranged from 0.11 to 0.64 day-1, while secondary production rates ranged from 1.77 to 12.23 mg dry- mass day-1. None of the three selected models were good predictors of growth and secondary production in this mysid species.
