Effects of Space and Scale in the Food Web Structure of the Aleutian Archipelago
One of the challenges in fisheries management as it moves from a single-species to an ecosystem approach, is to meet the ecological and management needs of fish, seabirds, marine mammals, and humans, all of which operate over widely different spatial scales. This relatively new approach to fisheries management involves developing and fine-tuning predictive models that incorporate complex food w...
متن کاملEffects of Trophic Skewing of Species Richness on Ecosystem Functioning in a Diverse Marine Community
Widespread overharvesting of top consumers of the world's ecosystems has "skewed" food webs, in terms of biomass and species richness, towards a generally greater domination at lower trophic levels. This skewing is exacerbated in locations where exotic species are predominantly low-trophic level consumers such as benthic macrophytes, detritivores, and filter feeders. However, in some systems wh...
متن کاملThe possibility of occurrence of the phenomenon “fishing down marine food webs” in the coastal waters of Hormozgan Province (north of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea)
We examined the temporal trend in mean trophic level (mTL), trophic category landing (TrC) and landing profile (LP) of the exploited marine community (49 species) in the fishing zone of Hormozgan (north of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea) from 2001 to 2011. LP had an increasing trend (r = 0.88, P<0.001), whereas, mTL of the landings showed a significant decrease from 2001 to 2011 (r = -0.69, P<0.05)....
متن کاملEutrophication and overfishing in temperate nearshore pelagic food webs: a network perspective
We investigated the effects of human activities on the pelagic food web structure of nearshore marine ecosystems. Their generic structure was established on the basis of literature review and analyzed by qualitative structural network analysis. Two main issues were addressed: (1) the role of species capable of forming harmful algal blooms (HABs) and red tides (Noctiluca spp.), as well as the ro...
متن کاملClimate shifts the interaction web of a marine plankton community
Climatic effects in the ocean at the community level are poorly described, yet accurate predictions about ecosystem responses to changing environmental conditions rely on understanding biotic responses in a food-web context to support knowledge about direct biotic responses to the physical environment. Here we conduct time-series analyses with multivariate autoregressive (MAR) models of marine ...
