Habitat heterogeneity and mammalian predatorprey interactions
1. In predator–prey theory, habitat heterogeneity can affect the relationship between kill rates and prey or predator density through its effect on the predator’s ability to search for, encounter, kill and consume its prey. Many studies of predator– prey interactions include the effect of spatial heterogeneity, but these are mostly based on species with restricted mobility or conducted in exper...
متن کاملPhysiology is pivotal for interactions between salinity and acute copper toxicity to fish and invertebrates.
The present paper presents original data and a review of the copper (Cu) toxicity literature for estuarine and marine environments. For the first time, acute Cu toxicity across the full salinity range was determined. Killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, eggs were hatched in freshwater (FW), 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 22 and 35 ppt (seawater, SW) and juveniles were allowed to acclimate for 7 days prior to acu...
متن کاملInteractions Between Benthic Macroalgal and Microalgal Mats
Benthic primary producers play a key role in regulating carbon and nutrient turnover in shallow-water coastal areas. Macroalgal (MA) mats, which persist from months to over a year, consist of fast-growing filamentous or sheet-like algae on the sediment or floating at the water surface. Benthic microalgal mats (microphytobenthos, MPB), which occur throughout the year, are mostly dominated by dia...
متن کاملFunctional roles of an engineer species for coastal benthic invertebrates and demersal fish
Through their tissues or activities, engineer species create, modify, or maintain habitats and alter the distribution and abundance of many plants and animals. This study investigates key ecological functions performed by an engineer species that colonizes coastal ecosystems. The gregarious tubiculous amphipod Haploops nirae is used as a biological model. According to previous studies, the habi...
متن کاملMarine benthic invertebrates use multimodal cues for defense against reef fish
The use of bright coloration to warn predators of toxic prey, termed aposematism, is a defensive strategy well studied in terrestrial ecosystems. Some marine animals have contrasting color patterns and chemical defenses but few studies have tested the behavior of marine predators in response to aposematic coloration. In this study we tested fish feeding behavior in response to different types o...
