Mangrove expansion into salt marshes alters associated faunal communities
Climate change is altering the distribution of foundation species, with potential effects on organisms that inhabit these environments and changes to valuable ecosystem functions. In the Gulf of Mexico, black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) are expanding northward into salt marshes dominated by Spartina alterniflora (hereafter Spartina). Salt marshes are essential habitats for many organisms, i...
متن کاملTemporal and Spatial Variations of Bacterial and Faunal Communities Associated with Deep-Sea Wood Falls
Sinking of large organic food falls i.e. kelp, wood and whale carcasses to the oligotrophic deep-sea floor promotes the establishment of locally highly productive and diverse ecosystems, often with specifically adapted benthic communities. However, the fragmented spatial distribution and small area poses challenges for the dispersal of their microbial and faunal communities. Our study focused o...
متن کاملFaunal Communities Are Invariant to Fragmentation in Experimental Seagrass Landscapes
Human-driven habitat fragmentation is cited as one of the most pressing threats facing many coastal ecosystems today. Many experiments have explored the consequences of fragmentation on fauna in one foundational habitat, seagrass beds, but have either surveyed along a gradient of existing patchiness, used artificial materials to mimic a natural bed, or sampled over short timescales. Here, we de...
متن کاملConsiderations for the Management of Vernal Pool Faunal Communities
The faunal community of California’s vernal pools is less obvious and has been less studied than the floral community but is similarly diverse, endemic, and endangered. Species richness and composition vary between pool types, between pools of a given type, and within individual pools between years and through the season. The physiology, life history, and ecology of the pool organisms contribut...
متن کاملSurveying soil faunal communities using a direct molecular approach
Soil faunal communities are often phylogenetically diverse and the accurate assessment of the taxonomic structure of these communities is both time-consuming and requires a high level of taxonomic expertise. Here we describe a DNA sequence-based methodology for characterizing soil microand mesofaunal communities that is similar to the molecular approaches commonly used to survey soil microbial ...
