Integrated Water and Catchment Research for the Public Good: The Motueka River–Tasman Bay Initiative, New Zealand
The goal of the Motueka Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) Programme is to develop integrated, multidisciplinary research approaches to address water resource management issues defined by strong stakeholder consultation. This programme, initiated in 2000, is focused on the Motueka River catchment and Tasman Bay. The Motueka catchment is sparsely populated, but is a heavily used and highly pr...
متن کاملBenthic Biotopes Remote Sensing Using Single Beam Acoustics on the South Coast of the Qeshm Island, the Persian Gulf
The study presents the result of a new attempt for benthic biotopes remote sensing in the southern coast of the Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. This survey site covers approximately 233 km2 in water depth between five and 25 m. Bathymetric data was derived from the single beam survey and grab stations, underwater video and photos were undertaken as ground-trusthing. The acoustic results showe...
متن کاملDifferential responses of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores to traits of New Zealand subalpine shrubs.
Plant traits are influenced by herbivore diet selection, but little is known about how traits are affected by different types of herbivores. We related eight traits of 27 subalpine shrub species in South Island, New Zealand, to damage of these shrubs by introduced red deer (Cervus elaphus) and native invertebrate herbivores using phylogenetically explicit modeling. Deer preferentially consumed ...
متن کاملEffect of sea surface temperature (SST) changes on coral ecosystems in Kish Island
Background and Theoretical Foundations: Coral reefs are one of the world's most attractive ecosystems. They have been covering large parts of the world in the tropic areas. Coral reefs in the Iranian waters of the Persian Gulf are largely limited to the Islands. Many factors, including natural and anthropogenic activities cause stress to the reef communities affecting reef development. Coral bl...
متن کاملHabitat heterogeneity drives the geographical distribution of beta diversity: the case of New Zealand stream invertebrates
To define whether the beta diversity of stream invertebrate communities in New Zealand exhibits geographical variation unexplained by variation in gamma diversity and, if so, what mechanisms (productivity, habitat heterogeneity, dispersal limitation, disturbance) best explain the observed broad-scale beta diversity patterns. We sampled 120 streams across eight regions (stream catchments), spann...
