Phylogenetic structure of aquatic plant assemblages in a climate sequence

چکیده
Abstract Floristic studies of aquatic plants and flora associated with ecosystems carried out in the Neotropical region have demonstrated predominance co-occurrence same plant families under different climatic conditions. One way to interpret this groups non-random patterns assemblages is understand their phylogenetic structure. Herein, we present an investigation that studied rule assembly on reservoirs a tropical climosequence Northeast Brazil. We eight areas during dry rainy periods characterized climatic, chemical, trace elements, as well richness, diversity, structure assemblages. found Fabaceae, Poaceae Cyperaceae, especially border areas. Among species surveyed, highlight those amphibian life-form, autochoric-type dispersion syndrome taxa wide geographical distribution. observed seasonal effect ruled tendency for non-co-familiarity. Water quality sediment were abiotic factors most efficient predictors richness variations metrics. In sense, family identified was less deterministic than expected through non-randomness, because temporally, guilds distinctly structured function seasonality.

متن کاملGlobal patterns in the phylogenetic structure of island mammal assemblages.
Assemblage-level phylogenies carry the signature of ecological and evolutionary processes, which may provide useful information on modes of assemblage formation. We present a global-scale analysis of the emergent phylogenetic properties of mammal assemblages on islands, in which we compared the structure of 595 island assemblages with null models constructed under four alternative definitions o...
متن کاملPhylogenetic structure of mammal assemblages at large geographical scales: linking phylogenetic community ecology with macroecology.
Phylogenetic community ecology seeks to explain the processes involved in the formation of species assemblages by analysing their phylogenetic structure, and to date has focused primarily on local-scale communities. Macroecology, on the other hand, is concerned with the structure of assemblages at large geographical scales, but has remained largely non-phylogenetic. Analysing the phylogenetic s...

in fact this study is concerned with the relationship between the variation in thematice structure and the comprehension of spoken language. so the study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any relationship between thematic structure and the comprehension of spoken language? 2. which of the themes would have greated thematic force and be easier for the subjects to comprehend? accord...

Darwin's naturalization hypothesis (DNH) proposes that colonization is less likely when the colonizing species is related to members of the invaded community, because evolutionary closeness intensifies competition among species that share similar resources. Studies that have evaluated DNH from correlational evidence have yielded controversial results with respect to its occurrence and generalit...
