Negative range size–abundance relationships in Indo-Pacific bird communities
tropical areas and those in temperate zones. Hypotheses to explain positive range size–abundance relationships have focused on the ability of generalist species to appropriate resources, which allows them to simultaneously expand their ranges and dominate local communities (Brown 1984). The combination of geographic isolation with the high environmental stability of the tropics, however, may cr...
متن کاملEvidence of taxon cycles in an Indo-Pacific passerine bird radiation (Aves: Pachycephala).
Many insular taxa possess extraordinary abilities to disperse but may differ in their abilities to diversify and compete. While some taxa are widespread across archipelagos, others have disjunct (relictual) populations. These types of taxa, exemplified in the literature by selections of unrelated taxa, have been interpreted as representing a continuum of expansions and contractions (i.e. taxon ...
متن کاملVariability of the Indo-Pacific Ocean exchanges
The ECCO–GODAE global estimate of the ocean circulation 1992–2007 is analyzed in the region of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), including the Southern Ocean flow south of Australia. General characteristics are an intense month-to-month noise, only weak trends, and an important annual cycle (which is not the focus of attention). Apart from the details of the unresolved flows within the various ...
متن کاملDiscriminant analysis of Indo-West Pacific Flabellum
CAIRNS, S.D., 1989:10:30. Discriminant analysis of Indo-West Pacific Flabellum. Mem. Ass. Australas. Palaeontols 8, 61-68. ISSN 0810-8889. Stepwise discriminant analysis was performed on 145 specimens of Indo-West Pacific Flabellum pertaining to 8 putative species. Posterior classification supported the premise of 8 species at the 99.3% level. Only two characters are needed to distinguish all s...
متن کاملHuman-caused Indo-Pacific warm pool expansion
The Indo-Pacific warm pool (IPWP) has warmed and grown substantially during the past century. The IPWP is Earth's largest region of warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs), has the highest rainfall, and is fundamental to global atmospheric circulation and hydrological cycle. The region has also experienced the world's highest rates of sea-level rise in recent decades, indicating large increases in...
