Stochasticity, succession, and environmental perturbations in a fluidic ecosystem.
Unraveling the drivers of community structure and succession in response to environmental change is a central goal in ecology. Although the mechanisms shaping community structure have been intensively examined, those controlling ecological succession remain elusive. To understand the relative importance of stochastic and deterministic processes in mediating microbial community succession, a uni...
متن کاملInsect Succession in a Stored-Corn Ecosystem in Southeast Georgia
Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 81(6): 899-912 (1988) ABSTRACT Insect populations infesting a small bulk of corn stored in southeastern Georgia were followed for 8 yr by monthly sampling beginning 8 mo after the corn was placed in storage. The species composition of the insect community changed as the corn deteriorated. Nine species became dominant at some stage of succession. Sitotroga cerealella (Oliv...
متن کاملTemporal Succession in a Desert Stream Ecosystem following Flash Flooding1
Recovery of a desert stream after an intense flash flooding event is described as a model of temporal succession in lotic ecosystems. A late summer flood in Sycamore Creek, Arizona, virtually eliminated algae and reduced invertebrate standing crop by 98%. Physical and morphornetric conditions typical of the preflood period were restored in 2 d and the biota recovered in 2-3 wk. Algal communitie...
متن کاملEnvironmental stochasticity and the speed of evolution
Biological populations are subject to two types of noise: demographic stochasticity due to fluctuations in the reproductive success of individuals, and environmental variations that affect coherently the relative fitness of all individuals in the same clone. The rate in which the average fitness of a population increases has been considered so far using models with pure demographic stochasticit...
