متن کاملInferring biotic interactions from proxies.
Inferring biotic interactions from functional, phylogenetic and geographical proxies remains one great challenge in ecology. We propose a conceptual framework to infer the backbone of biotic interaction networks within regional species pools. First, interacting groups are identified to order links and remove forbidden interactions between species. Second, additional links are removed by examina...
متن کاملBiotic Interactions Influencing Shrub Establishment
BIOTIC INTERACTIONS INFLUENCING SHRUB ESTABLISHMENT ON AN ATLANTIC COAST BARRIER ISLAND. Elucidating mechanisms influencing the establishment of woody species is essential for understanding community dynamics and successional processes on barrier islands. The relative intensity of facilitation and inhibition of grasses on seedling establishment of two woody species common to Atlantic Coast barr...
متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity and biotic interactions – scaling from experiments to natural systems
Much of current ecological theory stems from experimental studies. These studies have often been conducted in closed systems, at spatial scales that are much smaller than the systems of interest. It is known that the outcome of these experiments may be seriously affected by artefacts associated with the caging procedures, as well as by the actual difference in spatial scale between experimental...
متن کاملHow latitude affects biotic interactions.
A re biotic interactions, such as competition and predation, stronger in the tropics than at higher latitudes? Biologists have long speculated that more intense interactions tend to occur at lower rather than at higher latitudes as a result of year-round warm and wet conditions near the equator, particularly in lowland tropical rainforests (1). This idea is now well established in the ecologica...
