Taxonomic and functional diversity of a coastal planktonic bacterial community in a river-influenced marine area.
The Gulf of Naples is a dynamical area with intense exchanges between offshore oligotrophic and coastal eutrophic waters with frequent freshwater inputs. The Sarno River, one of the most polluted rivers in Europe, strongly contributes to the pollution of the area, discharging high amounts of heavy metals and organic wastes from heavily cultivated and industrial areas. This paper reports on the ...
متن کاملEffects of Introduced Small Wood in a Degraded Stream on Fish Community and Functional Diversity
Though the effects of introduced wood on fishes is widely studied for salmonids in upland coldwater streams, there are few studies on this topic conducted in the Coastal Plain of the southeastern US. This research gap is problematic because the introduction of wood is a critical component of efforts aimed at conserving the threatened fish diversity of the Coastal Plain, but managers lack data o...
متن کاملTaxonomic distinctness and diversity measures: responses in marine fish communities
In a recent paper Warwick & Clarke (1995: Mar Ecol Prog Ser 129:301-305) introduced 2 new measures of community diversity, A and A' These measures dlffer from more conventional d~ver sity indices by incorporating the taxonomic relatedness of species into their calculation. In this paper we compare temporal trends in A and A' with more conventional diversity measures for the demersal fish commun...
متن کاملContrasting “Fish” Diversity Dynamics between Marine and Freshwater Environments
Two theoretical models have been proposed to describe long-term dynamics of diversification: the equilibrium model considers the Earth as a closed system with a fixed maximum biological carrying capacity, whereas the expansion model hypothesizes a continuously increasing diversification of life. Based on the analysis of the fossil record of all organisms, Benton suggested contrasting models of ...
متن کاملDisturbance Increases Microbial Community Diversity and Production in Marine Sediments
Disturbance strongly impacts patterns of community diversity, yet the shape of the diversity-disturbance relationship remains a matter of debate. The topic has been of interest in theoretical ecology for decades as it has practical implications for the understanding of ecosystem services in nature. One of these processes is the remineralization of organic matter by microorganisms in coastal mar...
