Measured environmental concentrations of copper and hazard quotients in the German Bight in summer from 1986 to 2021

Data includes the measured environmental concentrations (MEC) of the summer copper (Cu) concentration in the German Bight from 1986 to 2021 (MUDAB database, https://geoportal.bafg.de/MUDABAnwendung/), including sampling points coordinates, year of sampling and Cu concentration. Additionally the Hazard quotient (HQ) is provided by dividing the MEC with the predicted no effect concentration (PNEC), defined as EC10 estimates from Crassostrea gigas embryos exposed for 48 h at 18°C and LC10 estimates from C. gigas larvae exposed for 24 h at 24°C, divided by an assessment factor (AF) of 5.

Larval survival and development of Carcinus maenas from Norway and Spain reared in a laboratory experiment

Larval and adult stages of marine species with complex life cycles often differ in thermal tolerance, with larvae typically showing narrower thermal tolerance limits. To assess how such stage-specific differences may influence species' range dynamics under climate change, we quantified larval performance of the European shore crab Carcinus maenas across an environmental temperature gradient. We measured larval survival rates (%) from hatching to metamorphosis to megalopa and the duration of development (days) at seven constant-temperature treatments (9-27 °C, in 3 °C increments). Data represent experimental observations of larval performance under laboratory conditions and are reported at the level of replicates by females of each population. Replication was performed on two levels: 5 * 10 larvae were reared per female, and 4 to 6 females were used per population. Larvae originated from berried females collected from populations at the southern and northern parts of the native European distribution (Vigo, Spain; Bergen and Trondheim, Norway). The data were collected during one reproductive period in 2022. We aimed to test the hypothesis that larvae from northern populations are more tolerant to low temperatures, while southern populations exhibit increased tolerance to high temperatures, which would facilitate poleward range expansion under warming conditions. Our results show that larvae from Spain displayed slightly higher survival rates to megalopa at warmer temperatures compared to those from northern populations. However, little variation in tolerance was observed between northern Spain and Norway, with low survival at the temperature extremes (9 °C and 27 °C). Notably, larvae from Norway exhibited faster development at low temperatures.

Growth rates and carbon and nitrogen contents of Carcinus maenas at metamorphosis to megalopa Norway and Spain reared in a laboratory experiment

Larvae of marine species with complex life cycles with wide latitudinal distribution ranges can differ not only in their thermal tolerance, but also in responses to temperature, such as growth rates and carbon or nitrogen accumulation. To assess population-specific growth rates, based on dry mass and carbon and nitrogen contents, we studied larval growth rates of the European shore crab Carcinus maenas across an environmental temperature gradient. We measured larval growth (day-1) from hatching to metamorphosis to megalopa at seven constant temperature treatments (9-27 °C, in 3 °C increments). Data represent experimental observations of larval dry mass, carbon and nitrogen contents under laboratory conditions and are reported at the level of replicates by females of each population. Replication was performed on two levels: 5 **10 larvae were reared per female, and 4 to 6 females were used per population. Larvae originated from berried females collected from populations at the southern and northern parts of the native European distribution (Vigo, Spain; Bergen and Trondheim, Norway). The data were collected during one reproductive period in 2022. Growth rates were low at low temperatures and increased with temperature, reaching a plateau at 21 °C. This increase in growth coincided with a reduction in duration of development, leading to similar body mass at metamorphosis across temperature treatments. Contrastingly, at the high temperature treatments 24°C and 27°C, reductions in duration of development did not coincide with increased growth rates, hence larvae metamorphosed with reduced body mass.

Data on the effect of temperature and trace metal exposure on early life stages of European flat oysters and Pacific oysters

Data collection of concentration dependent abnormal larval development of Crassostrea gigas during 24 h at 24°C and 48 h at 18°C for the trace metals copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Data were collected via microscopic observation. Data collection of concentration dependent mortality within a 24 h period at 18°C and 24°C for the D- larvae stage of Ostrea edulis and C. gigas for Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb. Data were collected via microscopic observation. All data were collected from February to April 2024 at IFREMER Bouin (La plateforme mollusques marins de Bouin) in France. Data includes the measured environmental concentrations (MEC) of the summer Cu concentration in the German Bight from 1986 to 2021 (MUDAB database, https://geoportal.bafg.de/MUDABAnwendung/), including sampling points coordinates, year of sampling and Cu concentration. Additionally the Hazard quotient (HQ) is provided by dividing the MEC with the predicted no effect concentration (PNEC), defined as EC10 estimates from C. gigas embryos exposed for 48 h at 18°C and LC10 estimates from C. gigas larvae exposed for 24 h at 24°C, divided by an assessment factor (AF) of 5.

Ecosystem functions of rare arable plants - field experiment: Aphidoidea data

Taken from materials and methods of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2022.12.003: Aphids were counted on 50 randomly selected shoots in two crop rows (100 shoots in total) per plot and sampling round. To reduce edge effects, rows with less than 20 cm to the edge were excluded. Counting took place twice a year, that is, once during crop flowering (BBCH 61; beginning of aphid population growth) and once during crop milk ripening stage (BBCH 75).

Eichenprozessionsspinner-Befall Landkreis Lüneburg

Gemeldete Standorte für den Eichenprozessionsspinner-Befall im Sommerjahr 2025 Der Eichenprozessionsspinner ist ein Nachtfalter, der von Ende Juli bis Anfang September fliegt und seine Eier bevorzugt auf freistehenden Eichen ablegt. Ab dem dritten Raupenstadium bilden die Raupen giftige Brennhaare aus, die für Menschen und andere Tiere gefährlich sind. Seit Mai 2022 ist zum ersten Mal ein neues biologisches Mittel mit besonderem Wirkstoff im Einsatz: Nematoden – auch Fadenwürmer genannt –, die sich im Körper der Raupen entwickeln und diese dadurch abtöten. Da die winzigen Fadenwürmer lichtempfindlich sind, wird das Mittel erst nach Sonnenuntergang auf die befallenen Stellen in den Bäumen gesprüht. Für Menschen und Haustiere sind diese Würmer ungefährlich. Sie erzeugen keine Nebenwirkungen und fallen weder unter die Biozidverordnung, noch unter das Pflanzenschutzgesetz.

Experiment on feeding rates of the first, third, and fifth zoae stages of the crab Hemigrapsus takanoi from Kiel fjord under different temperature and salinity levels for a period of 24 hours

Feeding rates of Hemigrapsus takanoi Zoea I , Zoea III, and Zoea V were assessed under laboratory conditions, as the number of individual Artemia spp. consumed within 24 h. Ovigerous females were collected from inner Kiel Fjord in July 2018, and reared in constant laboratory conditions. After egg hatching, larvae were reared, exposed, and held at the respective experimental treatments. Experiments were conducted on combined effect of salinity (6 levels, 10–25) and temperature (19 and 23 °C).

Experiment on Hemigrapsus takanoi larvae from Kiel Fjord under different tempaerature and salinity levels

Ovigerous females were collected by scraping from inner Kiel Fjord in July 2018 and kept under control constant temperature room (~19°C) until egg hatching. Newly hatched larvae were reared under combination of different salinity (6 levels, 10–25) and temperature (19 and 23 °C) treatments in order to estimate the salinity threshold and the interactive role of temperature for larval development in Kiel Fjord Hemigarspus takanoi. Experiments were conducted until larvae reached the megalopae stage (last larval stage) or died. The results of such study could give us a primary outlook on the dispersal ability of H. takanoi larvae along the Baltic Sea.
