Competition-colonization dynamics in experimental bacterial metacommunities.
One of the simplest hypotheses used to explain species coexistence is the competition-colonization trade-off, that is, species can stably coexist in a landscape if they show a trade-off between competitive and colonization abilities. Despite extensive theory, the dynamics predicted to result from competition-colonization trade-offs are largely untested. Landscape change, such as habitat destruc...
متن کاملInformed movement and dispersal in experimental metacommunities
Dispersal, and the underlying movement behaviour, are processes of pivotal importance for understanding and predicting metapopulation and metacommunity dynamics. Generally, dispersal decisions are non-random and rely on information, such as the presence of conspecifics. However, studies on metacommunities that include interspecific interactions generally disregard information use. Therefore, it...
متن کاملMetacommunities . Spatial Dynamics and Ecological Communities
In the early to mid-twentieth-century ecology was often dismissed as “the study of everything connected to everything else.” This book’s title, obviously extending Levins’s metapopulation concept, suggests an expanded interest in ecological linkages. The editors, also major contributors, are to be commended for the assembly, and the conceptual integration they anticipate will launch a new (and ...
متن کاملDendritic connectivity controls biodiversity patterns in experimental metacommunities.
Biological communities often occur in spatially structured habitats where connectivity directly affects dispersal and metacommunity processes. Recent theoretical work suggests that dispersal constrained by the connectivity of specific habitat structures, such as dendrites like river networks, can explain observed features of biodiversity, but direct evidence is still lacking. We experimentally ...
متن کاملCondition-dependent movement and dispersal in experimental metacommunities.
Dispersal and the underlying movement behaviour are processes of pivotal importance for understanding and predicting metapopulation and metacommunity dynamics. Generally, dispersal decisions are condition-dependent and rely on information in the broad sense, like the presence of conspecifics. However, studies on metacommunities that include interspecific interactions generally disregard conditi...
