Ecological Succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over a period of time.
But, over a long period of time, the climate conditions of an ecosystem is bound to change.
No ecosystem has existed or will remain unchanged over a Geological Time Scale.

2. Succession from Bare Rock
3. Succession from Disturbed Vegetation
The main causes of ecological succession include the biotic and climatic factors that can destroy the populations of an area. Wind, fire, soil erosion and natural disasters include the climatic factors. Ecological succession is important for the growth and development of an ecosystem. It initiates colonization of new areas and recolonization of the areas that had been destroyed due to certain biotic and climatic factors. Thus, the organisms can adapt to the changes and learn to survive in a changing environment.

IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPORTANT EDIBLE CRUSTACEANS.pptxDr. Karri Ramarao
Crabs, prawns, crayfish and lobster are examples of edible crustaceans that are among the main sources of nutrient-rich food for people. A crustacean's nutritional value is determined by its biochemical makeup, which includes its protein, amino acids, lipids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Habitat: All ctenophores are exclusively marine.
Habits: They feed on plankton, swim by cilia. Power of regeneration is well marked. Bioluminescence
Body form is variable
Symmetry:
Symmetry is biradial (radial + bilateral).
The spicules or sclerites are definite bodies, having a crystalline appearance and consisting in general of simple spines or of spines radiating from a point.
They have an axis of organic material around which is deposited the inorganic substance, either calcium carbonate or hydrated silica.
A number of different substances are used as liming materials, the chemical used for the liming of soil and water are the oxides, hydroxides and silicates of calcium or magnesium
Gynogenesis, a form of Parthenogensis, is a system of asexual reproduction that requires the presence of sperm without the actual contribution of its DNA for completion. The paternal DNA dissolves or is destroyed before it can fuse with the egg
A Secchi disk is a metal disk, 8 inches (20 centimeter) in diameter, It is an 8-inch (20 centimeter) diameter, black and white disk attached to a dowel rod, PVC pipe, rope or chain The depth that the Secchi disk can no longer be seen through the water is the Secchi depth.
Biostatistics is also known as biometry, the development and application of statistical methods to a wide range of topics in biology. It encompasses the design of biological experiments, the collection and analysis of data from those experiments and the interpretation of the results.
The alimentary canal of Scoliodon comprises:
the mouth,
buccal cavity,
pharynx,
oesophagus,
stomach,
intestine and
rectum opening in the cloaca through anus.
Fishes possess dermal scales on the body for protection. Each scale is made of dentine that is secreted by dermal papilla which is a group of specialized neighbouring tissues. The exposed
portion of scale is covered with a layer of hard enamel to minimise wear and tear. Ancient
fishes generally had thick bony scales while the modern fishes have evolved thin and flexible
scales for more agility.
Catadromous migration: The movement of large number of individuals from fresh water to sea water, generally for spawning as happens in the case of eels.
Anadromous fishes live and feed in ocean waters but their spawning grounds lie in the tributaries of rivers.
Fish culture is classified based on the number of fish species as monoculture and polyculture. This is the culture of single species of fish in a pond or tank. The culture of trout, tilapia, catfish , carps are typical examples of monoculture.
Classification of Nematodes
Nematodes are classified into the following classes:
1. Phasmidia or Secernentea
• These are mostly parasitic.
• Caudal glands are absent.
• Unicellular, pouch-like sense organs called plasmids are present.
• The excretory system has paired lateral canals.
• Eg., Ascaris, Enterobius
2. Aphasmidia or Adenophorea
• They are free-living organisms.
• The excretory system has no lateral canals.
• Caudal glands are present.
• Phasmids are absent.
• Eg., Capillaria, Trichinella
The most common fish diseases, particularly in freshwater aquaria, include columnaris, gill disease, ick (ich), dropsy, tail and fin-rot, fungal infections, white spot disease, pop-eye, cloudy eye, swim bladder disease, lice and nematode worms infestation, water quality induced diseases, constipation, anorexia, ...

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Ecological succession
1.
2. The numbers and types of species
that live in them generally change
through time.
This is called ecological succession.
The species living in a particular
place gradually change over time as
does the physical and chemical
environment within that area.
3. Ecological succession is a
very important form of grown and
development of an ecosystem as a
whole.
It allows new areas to be colonized
and damaged ecosystems to be
recolonized, so organisms can
adapt to the changes in the
environment and continue to
survive.
4. Succession takes place because
through the processes of living,
growing and reproducing,
organisms interact with and affect
the environment within an area,
gradually changing it.
6. Succession is directional. Different
stages in a particular habitat
succession can usually be
accurately predicted.
These stages, characterised by the
presence of different communities,
are known as 'seres.
7. Ecological succession is the
gradual process by which
ecosystems change and develop
over time.
Nothing remains the same and
habitats are constantly changing.
There are two main types,
primary succession and secondary
succession.
8. Succession occurs on many
different timescales, ranging from
a few days to hundreds of years
Fig 2: Succession stages
9. Primary Succession
Primary succession occurs in an
area that has never before been
colonized. Generally, the area is
nothing but bare rock. This type of
environment may come about
when
a) Lava flows from a volcano and hardens into rock.
b) A glacier retreats and leaves behind bare rock.
c) A landslide uncovers an area of bare rock
11. The first species to colonize a
disturbed area such as this are
called pioneer species.
They change the environment and
pave the way for other species to
come into the area.
Pioneer species are likely to include
bacteria and lichens that can live on
bare rock.
Along with wind and water, they
help weather the rock and form
soil.
12. Once soil begins to form, plants
can move in.
At first, the plants include grasses
and other species that can grow
in thin, poor soil.
As more plants grow and die,
organic matter is added to the
soil. This improves the soil and
helps it hold water.
14. Secondary Succession
Secondary succession occurs in a
formerly inhabited area that was
disturbed. The disturbance could
be a fire, flood, or human action
such as farming.
This type of succession is faster
because the soil is already in
place.
16. In this case, the pioneer species
are plants such as grasses, birch
trees, and fireweed.
Organic matter from the pioneer
species improves the soil. This
lets other plants move into the
area.
18. •Secoundary Succession.
•1st year after forest fire, flood,
or farmer abandons a field:
Weeds grow,
2nd year: Seeds blown in or
carried in by animals become
new weedy
5 to 15 years: Small pines begin
growing in the area, gradually
become a forest
19. Climax Communities
Ecologists assumed that
successions always ends with a
final stable stage. They called this
stage the climax community.
Today, most ecologists no longer
hold these views. They believe that
most of communities are
disturbed too often to become
climax communities.
