Can anyone identify this flagellate?

I am currently researching a network of species movement between temporary ponds using Least Cost Paths. With Conefor I have calculated the PCnum, EC(PC), and PC (probability of Connectivity, as in Saura & Pascual-Hortal, 2007) for the network situation in 1991 and again in 2020. I would like to compare the two with one another, and somehow the PC is higher in 2020 than in PCnum, despite there being less ponds in 2020. PCnum and EC(PC) are both higher for 1991. I am therefore wondering if I should focus on one of these or multiple of these metrics in my comparison, or if these metrics are at all even comparable in this way?

Secondly, I am creating a prioritization scheme based upon the change of PCnum and PC caused by restoring individual ponds. However, the two metrics result in different orders of priority for the destroyed ponds. I am wondering what would be the conditions for using one of them over the other, or what advantages one may have?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Three different ephemeral ponds, in a close vicinity and with varying utilization were selected to monitor the ecological components (Water quality, sediment and surface soil analysis in terms of physical and chemical) and their functions, contributing the environmental conditions of the experimental ponds.  Vegetation analysis (viz., IVI, diversity indices, richness, similarity index) was done in those ponds at their desiccate surface and bunds, at regular monthly intervals.  

Please suggest me the statistical procedure to reveal the specific variable or group of variables which is/are responsible for the impact of the land-use or such variable(s), indicate the ecological health of the experimental ponds.  

Is the effect of allelopathy of phanerophytes on ephemerals and other chaemeophyes always negative? Can't the effects be advantageous to other biotic components?

Microbial ecologists often apply diversity indices from the macro world (eg., animals or plants) to the microbial world. If you get certain numbers from calculations, what do those indices really mean for the microbial communities?

I am looking for a possibility to survey insects in the field using video cameras, possibly also at night. Does anybody have some good or bad experience with this kind of survey and some indications about possible material to use?

I have recently tried to detect HSP70 in roots of aquatic plants by immunohistochemistry and I have fixed them in PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde (as I do for aquatic invertebrate tissues).

After a conservation period of one week in the preservative, no detection could be possible (in contrast to animal samples). When the fixation was done in liquid N2, all was good. Does anyone have an explanation?

There are many studies which depict morphological, physiological and behavioural implications of POPs/BFRs on birds, but a gap exists where we can correlate bioaccumulation and biomagnification of these organic contaminants with their effects at molecular level, DNA damage, genetic expression analysis, etc. in top predatory birds.

Preferably high resolution and long time series. Thanks for any suggestions!

My initial and final pressures are 1.45 atm but the pressure fluctuates from approximately -3200 to +1500 atm! What is my fault? My fix command is:
