Trade-offs in community properties through time in a desert rodent community.
Resource limitation represents an important constraint on ecological communities, which restricts the total abundance, biomass, and community energy flux a given community can support. However, the exact relationship among these three measures of biological activity remains unclear. Here we use a simple framework that links abundance and biomass with an energetic constraint. Under constant ener...
متن کاملReestablishment of a Rodent Community in Restored Desert Scrub
I conducted small-mammal trapping surveys on a desert scrub restoration site in Palm Springs, California, to document concomitant recovery of the rodent community. These surveys were conducted following quantitative vegetation sampling efforts that indicated that a predefined successful restoration criterion of 15% total shrub cover had been met throughout most of the area. But shrub cover, nat...
متن کاملTemporal changes in a Chihuahuan Desert rodent community
We used time series analysis of ten years of monthly census data to assess the responses of both individual species and an entire community of rodents to a fluctuating desert environment. Autocorrelation analysis revealed different patterns of intra-annual fluctuation among the It species: Dipodomys spectabilis and Perognathus Jarus had pronounced annual cycles: D. ordii, D. merriaini, Chaetodi...
متن کاملFluorination in the Community
یکی از مهمترین دست آوردهای تکنولوژی غذایی، تصفیه شکر از نیشکر و چغندر بوده است. بین سال های ۱۸۷۰ و ۱۹۱۰، شکر یک ماده غذایی ارزان قیمت شد و به خاطر شیرینی، در دسترس بودن به اشکال مختلف و مفید بودن به عنوان یک ماده غذایی قابل نگهداری به خوبی مورد قبول واقع شد. ولی نتیجه بعدی و ناشناخته این دسترسی آسان به شکر، افزایش خرابی و پوسیدگی دندانها بود. بررسی های اپیدمیولوژیکی نشان داد که تا سال های ۱۹۳۰ ...
متن کاملLong-term Experimental Study of a Chihuahuan Desert Rodent Community: 13 Years of Competition'
d4hstract. An experimental study of competition between kangaroo rats (Dipodornys spp.) and other sympatric desert rodents using exclosures with "semipermeable" fences has been continuously maintained at a site in the northern Chihuahuan Desert since 1977. A new set of experimental manipulations begun in 1988 at the same site repeated this study. As reported previously for this community, exclu...
