Community-level density dependence: an example from a shallow coral assemblage.
While density dependence is a popular topic of research in population ecology, it has received much less attention at the community level. Using 27 years of data from Heron Island, on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, we develop a matrix model of coral community dynamics that shows that community-level density dependence does occur and that it is fairly common, being found in 38% of the model par...
متن کاملClimate mediates the effects of disturbance on ant assemblage structure.
Many studies have focused on the impacts of climate change on biological assemblages, yet little is known about how climate interacts with other major anthropogenic influences on biodiversity, such as habitat disturbance. Using a unique global database of 1128 local ant assemblages, we examined whether climate mediates the effects of habitat disturbance on assemblage structure at a global scale...
متن کاملDifferential establishment potential of species predicts a shift in coral assemblage structure across a biogeographic barrier
have a unique assemblage structure. For these assemblages, an alternative explanation might be more appropriately sought at a smaller spatial scale to match the reduced geographical extent of these idiosyncratic reefs relative to a coherent province (Rahbek 2005, Fenberg et al. 2014). Coral assemblages located in marginal areas, such as those at higher latitudes, are of particular interest beca...
متن کاملStage Structure, Density Dependence and the Efficacy of Marine Reserves
The habitat requirements of fishes and other marine organisms often change with ontogeny, so many harvested species exhibit such extreme large-scale spatial segregation between life stages that all life stages cannot be protected within a single marine reserve. Nevertheless, most discussions of marine reserves have focused narrowly on single lifehistory events (e.g., reproduction or settlement)...
متن کاملIntra-reach Headwater Fish Assemblage Structure
INTRODUCTION The global connectedness of ecological systems and ecological problems is becoming ever more apparent, as are the associated complexities. As a result, effective large-scale conservation is relying more on regional modeling and assessment. These regional approaches allow for evaluation of resource conditions over large areas and often have multiscale capabilities allowing examinati...
