Critical daylength for dormancy induction was similar for laboratory colonies of a northern (Delaware) and a southern (Louisiana) population of Toxorhynchites rutilus septentrionalis. The threshold daylength for dormancy induction was greater in the northern population and the photoperiodic response of the northern population was less affected by high temperature.Although photoperiod did not affect the duration of preadult development in the southern population, the duration of preadult development of the northern population varied in a nonlinear fashion with photoperiod at 27 °C and increased with decreasing daylength at 19 °C.The duration of the third instar was consistently longer in dormant than in active larvae of both populations.The pattern of prey consumption during larval development was similar in dormant and active larvae. Prey consumption terminated 24 h prior to pupation in active larvae; dormant larvae continued to feed at a low rate. Similar numbers of prey were consumed during development by active and dormant larvae.The differences in the biologies of the two populations are discussed in relation to climatological differences in the environments from which each population was derived.

Environmental conditions can have spatially complex effects on the dynamics of marine fish stocks that change across life-history stages. Yet the potential for non-stationary environmental effects across multiple dimensions, e.g. space and ontogeny, are rarely considered. In this study, we examined the evidence for spatial and ontogenetic non-stationary temperature effects on Pacific hake Merluccius productus biomass along the west coast of North America. Specifically, we used Bayesian additive models to estimate the effects of temperature on Pacific hake biomass distribution and whether the effects change across space or life-history stage. We found latitudinal differences in the effects of temperature on mature Pacific hake distribution (i.e. age 3 and older); warmer than average subsurface temperatures were associated with higher biomass north of Vancouver Island, but lower biomass offshore of Washington and southern Vancouver Island. In contrast, immature Pacific hake distribution (i.e. age 2) was better explained by a nonlinear temperature effect; cooler than average temperatures were associated with higher biomass coastwide. Together, our results suggest that Pacific hake distribution is driven by interactions between age composition and environmental conditions and highlight the importance of accounting for varying environmental effects across multiple dimensions.

AbstractIn this work, the first results of the effects of temperature during the production of Se2- ions and the effect during the interaction of Cd2+ and Se2- ions in the synthesis process of CdSe nanoparticles are presented. The synthesis of CdSe was carried out by the colloidal technique, in the first one we used a temperature of 63 °C to produce Se2- ions and in the second one an interaction temperature of 49 °C. The samples were characterized using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). From the SEM micrographs it was possible to identify the thorns formation and irregular islands. STM micrographs reveal elliptical shapes with a regular electron cloud profile.
