Diversity, Stability, and Ecosystem Function
One pervasive idea in a lot of ecosystem management has been that the more diverse an ecosystem is, the more stable it will be. I should point out right now that even though I’ll be raising some substantial doubts about simple formulations of this belief and how useful it is for conservation purposes, it’s not an unreasonable notion. It was, after all, first formalized This is, of course, an as...
متن کاملPhytoplankton size-diversity mediates an emergent trade-off in ecosystem functioning for rare versus frequent disturbances
Biodiversity is known to be an important determinant of ecosystem-level functions and processes. Although theories have been proposed to explain the generally positive relationship between, for example, biodiversity and productivity, it remains unclear which mechanisms underlie the observed variations in Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function (BEF) relationships. Using a continuous trait-distribution ...

متن کاملDiversity and abundance of Bolidophyceae (Heterokonta) in two oceanic regions.
The diversity and abundance of the Bolidophyceae (Heterokonta), a newly described picoplanktonic algal class which is a sister group to the diatoms, was assessed in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea by culture isolation, molecular biology techniques, and pigment analyses. Eight strains of Bolidophyceae were isolated in culture from different mesotrophic and oligotrophic ...
متن کاملDeep-sea nematode diversity and ecosystem function
Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract Alongside a primary productivity gradient between the Galicia Bank region in the northeast Atlantic and the more oligotrophic eastern Mediterranean basin, we investigated the bathymetric (1200–3000 m) and longit...
