Diversity-disturbance relationships: frequency and intensity interact.
An influential ecological theory, the intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH), predicts that intermediate levels of disturbance will maximize species diversity. Empirical studies, however, have described a wide variety of diversity-disturbance relationships (DDRs). Using experimental populations of microbes, we show that the form of the DDR depends on an interaction between disturbance freque...
متن کاملHow frequency and intensity shape diversity-disturbance relationships.
Understanding the relationship between disturbance regimes and species diversity has been of central interest to ecologists for decades. For example, the intermediate disturbance hypothesis proposes that diversity will be highest at intermediate levels of disturbance. Although peaked (hump-shaped) diversity-disturbance relationships (DDRs) have been documented in nature, many other DDRs have be...
متن کاملExercise motivation: a cross-sectional analysis examining its relationships with frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise
BACKGROUND It is important to engage in regular physical activity in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle however a large portion of the population is insufficiently active. Understanding how different types of motivation contribute to exercise behavior is an important first step in identifying ways to increase exercise among individuals. The current study employs self-determination theory as ...
متن کاملHigh Frequency Intensity Fluctuations
Intensity fluctuations were measured during August 2002 near San Diego using 20 and 40 kHz cw and fm signals. Source-receiver separation was 1km; source depths were 10m to 67m; receiver hydrophone depths were 44m to 217m. A 15-element chain of CTD sensors was towed to measure horizontal temperature and salinity with 1m resolution. Comparing the spectra of the acoustic intensity fluctuations and...
متن کاملAffect Intensity: Separating Intensity and Frequency in Repeatedly Measured Affect
E. Diener, R. J. Larsen, S. Levine, and R. A. Emmons (1985) distinguished between intensity and frequency as separable components in repeatedly measured affect. In this article, an improved way of differentiating intensity and frequency of affect is proposed that permits one to measure affect intensity separately for each emotion of interest. The results of 3 studies using this method provide f...
