The effects of dispersal and recruitment limitation on community structure of odonates in artificial ponds
I examined the effects of isolation on the structure of both adult and larval dragonfly (Odonata: Anisoptera) communities forming at physically identical artificial ponds over two years. Isolation, whether measured by distance to the nearest source habitat or by connectivity to multiple sources, was significantly negatively related to the species richness of dragonflies observed at and collecte...
متن کاملCommunity response to enrichment is highly sensitive to model structure.
Biologists use mathematical functions to model, understand and predict nature. For most biological processes, however, the exact analytical form is not known. This is also true for one of the most basic life processes: the uptake of food or resources. We show that the use of several nearly indistinguishable functions, which can serve as phenomenological descriptors of resource uptake, may lead ...
متن کاملPredation, Enrichment, and Phytoplankton Community Structure
The significance of grazing and enrichment to the Pleasant Pond phytoplankton community was examined through a series of enclosure experiments. The addition of planktivorous fish led to the removal of large herbivores and to an order-of-magnitude increase in total phytoplankton biomass. This was a result of the appearance of several new algal species as well as the increase of most initial resi...
متن کاملComparative study of degradation of PP modified with organic pro-degradant subjected to natural and artificial ageing
In abiotic degradation the action of light radiation is one of the most important parameters, because polymers undergo degradation due to the action of light (natural or artificial). The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation rate for samples of polypropylene (PP) modified with an organic pro-degradant submitted to ageing in a natural environment and to accelerated ageing test. Th...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Network Approaches to the Prediction of Eutrophication and Algal Blooms in Aras Dam, Iran
Abstract Background and purpose: Eutrophication is one of the major environmental problems in waterways causing substantial adverse impact on domestic, livestock and recreational use of water resources. Aras Dam, Iran which provides Arasful city with drinking water, has chronic algal blooms since 1990. Levels of up to 900,000 cells/mL of toxic cyanobacteria (mainly Anabaena and Microcystis) hav...
