The Assembly of Ecological Communities Inferred from Taxonomic and Functional
Among-site variation in metacommunities (beta diversity) is typically correlated with the distance separating the sites (spatial lag). This distance decay in similarity pattern has been linked to both niche-based and dispersal-based community assembly hypotheses. Here we show that beta diversity patterns in community composition, when supplemented with functional-trait information, can be used ...
متن کاملAssessing the Classification Indices of Ecological Quality Status Using Benthic Macrofauna Identification in Gorgan Bay
The present study was conducted for the first time to investigate and identify the ecological quality status (EcoQ) of Gorgan Bay and also to emphasize the degree of agreement between the results of different benthic macrofauna indices, introduction of appropriate index and utilization of basic results in environmental management programs in the region. To do, 22 sites were selected and macrobe...
متن کاملBenthic diatom communities of coastal marine environments
This project examined the effects of ecological factors and anthropogenic contaminants on benthic diatom communities near Casey Station, in the Windmill Islands, Antarctica. Preliminary sampling indicated significant compositional differences occurred between diatom communities in bays immediately adjacent to Casey Station and those more distant. Subsequently, a more detailed appraisal of spati...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Antarctic Marine Benthic Communities
The Polar Frontal Zone, although predominantly a surface feature, forms a natural northernmost boundary for defining the Southern Ocean, and relatively few benthic organisms have distributions which cross this boundary. Many Antarctic benthic plants and animals have circumpolar distributions but some broad geographical subdivisions may be made. Detailed studies of community distribution are few...
متن کاملCoastal Habitats as Surrogates for Taxonomic, Functional and Trophic Structures of Benthic Faunal Communities
Due to human impact, there is extensive degradation and loss of marine habitats, which calls for measures that incorporate taxonomic as well as functional and trophic aspects of biodiversity. Since such data is less easily quantifiable in nature, the use of habitats as surrogates or proxies for biodiversity is on the rise in marine conservation and management. However, there is a critical gap i...
