Život na okraji: Limity výskytu larev hmyzu

Název projektu anglicky
Life at the Edge: The Limits of Occurrence of Insect Larvae
Anotace anglicky
Survival of animals under extreme environmental conditions has always been intriguing to ecologists and physiologists. Examples for an extreme environment are brooks in mountainous areas with different degrees of harshness. Despite the harsh conditions, these rivers are densely populated by chironomids (Diptera: Chironomidae) who are even found close to the mouth of glaciers. We hypothesize that i) different pathways of metabolism are differently affected by very low temperature, ii) carbohydrate metabolism may be more flexible than e.g. lipid metabolism, and iii) these differences are based on subspeciation and not a pure metabolic phenomenon. The study sites for this project are high alpine streams with a harshness gradient located in the Alps and the Tatra Mts. We assume that the harshness gradient must be strong enough to limit the occurrence of chironomid larvae and energy stores of an animal are a good proxy for its health. To study thresholds for survival of the high alpine stream chironomids in the past, lake sediments cores from 3 sites in the Bohemian Forest will be used.
