Environmental proteomics, biodiversity statistics and food-web structure.
Pioneering studies in environmental proteomics have revealed links between protein diversity and ecological function in simple ecological communities, such as microbial biofilms. In the near future, high-throughput proteomic methods will be applied to more complex ecological systems in which microbes and macrobes interact. Data structures in biodiversity and protein surveys have many similariti...
متن کاملEelgrass (Zostera marina) Food Web Structure in Different Environmental Settings.
This study compares the structure of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) meadows and associated food webs in two eelgrass habitats in Denmark, differing in exposure, connection to the open sea, nutrient enrichment and water transparency. Meadow structure strongly reflected the environmental conditions in each habitat. The eutrophicated, protected site had higher biomass of filamentous algae, lower eel...
متن کاملBiodiversity in model ecosystems, II: species assembly and food web structure.
This is the second of two papers dedicated to the relationship between population models of competition and biodiversity. Here, we consider species assembly models where the population dynamics is kept far from fixed points through the continuous introduction of new species, and generalize to such models the coexistence condition derived for systems at the fixed point. The ecological overlap be...
متن کاملTowards a food web perspective on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
One of the most common questions asked by researchers across a variety of scientific disciplines is ‘How does the number of nodes connected together into a network influence the efficiency and reliability of that network?’. While social scientists and epidemiologists might think of ‘nodes’ and ‘connections’ as people interacting within a social network, computer scientists, neurologists, and ci...
متن کاملBiodiversity maintenance in food webs with regulatory environmental feedbacks.
Although the food web is one of the most fundamental and oldest concepts in ecology, elucidating the strategies and structures by which natural communities of species persist remains a challenge to empirical and theoretical ecologists. We show that simple regulatory feedbacks between autotrophs and their environment when embedded within complex and realistic food-web models enhance biodiversity...
