Abstract
The flow direction forms a west-east nutrient gradient in Lake Balaton and separates two basins with different food conditions indicated by the annual mean of water chlorophyll-a concentration. Trends of protein and carbohydrate contents of the invasive quagga mussel decline along the longitudinal coordinates, whereas lipids increase in mussels living between the two basins under moderate food conditions. Lipid accumulation might rescue the mussels when carbohydrate stores deplete.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of the International Society of Zoological Sciences focuses on zoology as an integrative discipline encompassing all aspects of animal life. It presents a broader perspective of many levels of zoological inquiry, both spatial and temporal, and encourages cooperation between zoology and other disciplines including, but not limited to, physics, computer science, social science, ethics, teaching, paleontology, molecular biology, physiology, behavior, ecology and the built environment. It also looks at the animal-human interaction through exploring animal-plant interactions, microbe/pathogen effects and global changes on the environment and human society.
Integrative topics of greatest interest to INZ include:
(1) Animals & climate change
(2) Animals & pollution
(3) Animals & infectious diseases
(4) Animals & biological invasions
(5) Animal-plant interactions
(6) Zoogeography & paleontology
(7) Neurons, genes & behavior
(8) Molecular ecology & evolution
(9) Physiological adaptations
