Hydrodynamics influence coral performance through simultaneous direct and indirect effects
Hydrodynamic conditions can influence the distribution and abundance of aquatic species in many ways, including directly through disturbance and resource delivery, and indirectly by altering environmental cues and species interactions. In coral reef ecosystems, corallivory is an important top-down control of coral populations, while water motion can enhance coral performance via autotrophic and...
متن کاملModified Habitats Influence Kelp Epibiota via Direct and Indirect Effects
Addition of man-made structures alters abiotic and biotic characteristics of natural habitats, which can influence abundances of biota directly and/or indirectly, by altering the ecology of competitors or predators. Marine epibiota in modified habitats were used to test hypotheses to distinguish between direct and indirect processes. In Sydney Harbour, kelps on pier-pilings supported greater co...
متن کاملDirect and Indirect Effects
The direct effect of one event on another can be defined and measured by holding constant all intermediate variables between the two. Indirect effects present conceptual and prac tical difficulties (in nonlinear models), be cause they cannot be isolated by holding cer tain variables constant. This paper presents a new way of defining the effect transmit ted through a restricted set of paths...
متن کاملAssessing natural direct and indirect effects through multiple pathways.
Within the fields of epidemiology, interventions research and social sciences researchers are often faced with the challenge of decomposing the effect of an exposure into different causal pathways working through defined mediator variables. The goal of such analyses is often to understand the mechanisms of the system or to suggest possible interventions. The case of a single mediator, thus impl...
متن کاملSimultaneous Recording and Analysis of Direct and Indirect Fetal Electrocardiography
Recording and analysis of fetal heart rate variability is still the most common method for detection of early symptoms of fetal hypoxia. However, fetal heart rate obtained via ultrasound describes only mechanical activity of fetus heart. Limitations of this technique have stimulated the development of fetal electrocardiography. It ensures more precise determination of fetal heart rate and, whic...
