Assembly rules and functional groups at global biogeographical scales
1. The taxonomic and functional composition of reef fish assemblages are quantified in three biogeographical regions: Great Barrier Reef, French Polynesia and Caribbean. Assemblages are described in three habitats of differing wave exposure. Functional abilities are estimated based on published analyses linking fin morphology and swimming performance. 2. Two questions were addressed: (1) To wha...
متن کاملSelf-assembly at all scales.
Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures without human intervention. Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and technology. They involve components from the molecular (crystals) to the planetary (weather systems) scale and many different kinds of interactions. The concept of self-assembly is used increasingly in many disciplines, wit...
متن کاملAssembly rules for functional groups of North American shrews: effects of geographic range and habitat partitioning
We examined the representation of shrew species within assemblages at 197 sites in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA. Assemblages were classified according to representation of functional groups, including fossorial, small epigeal, and large epigeal. Average (9/SD) species richness was 2.99/1.0 and assemblages averaged 0.8 species in the fossorial and large epigeal groups and 1.3 species ...
متن کاملDynamics of the Eyeblink EMG at Global and Microscopic Scales
Eyeblink electromyogram (EMG) is a noninvasive and reliable tool for evaluating information processing at different levels of the central nervous system.The recently developed method of fragmentary decompositioncreates the model of a single trial eyeblink EMG as the series of consecutive, partly overlapping components, with the generic mass potential being the basis element. Here we express thi...
متن کاملGlobal Biogeographical Pattern of Ecosystem Functional Types Derived From Earth Observation Data
The present study classified global Ecosystem Functional Types (EFTs) derived from seasonal vegetation dynamics of the GIMMS3g NDVI time-series. Rotated Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was run on the derived phenological and productivity variables, which selected the Standing Biomass (approximation of Net Primary Productivity), the Cyclic Fraction (seasonal vegetation productivity), the Perm...
