Subsidies mediate interactions between communities across space
Most spatial ecology focuses on how species dispersal affects community dynamics and coexistence. Ecosystems, however, are also commonly connected by flows of resources. We experimentally tested how neighbouring communities indirectly influence each other in absence of dispersal, via resource exchanges. Using two-patch microcosm meta-ecosystems, we manipulated community composition and dynamics...
متن کاملResource Subsidies across the Land–freshwater Interface and Responses in Recipient Communities
Fluxes of resource subsidies, such as terrestrial leaf litter to streams and adult aquatic insects to riparian predators, are examples of important links between adjacent ecosystems. The importance of these cross-ecosystem resource flows from donor systems to recipient consumers is increasingly recognized. Streams, especially small streams with their high edge ratio with the terrestrial system,...
متن کاملComplex interactions between spatial, orientation, and motion cues for biological motion perception across visual space.
Human observers are adept at perceiving complex actions in point-light biological motion displays that represent the human form with a sparse array of moving points. However, the neural computations supporting action perception remain unclear, particularly with regards to central versus peripheral vision. We created novel action stimuli comprised of Gabor patches to examine the contributions of...
متن کاملLateral interactions across space reveal links between processing streams for luminance-modulated and contrast-modulated stimuli
Foveal detection thresholds for luminance-modulated (LM) and contrast-modulated (CM) blobs in the presence of fixed modulation, laterally placed noise blobs (separations of 0-6 degrees ) were measured in four observers with normal vision. Detection thresholds measured for LM blobs placed between highly visible LM flankers (111) and for CM blobs placed between highly visible CM flankers (222) pr...
