Biotic interactions and plant invasions.
Introduced plant populations lose interactions with enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions. From a biogeographical perspective, differences in the assemblage of interacting species, as well as in abiotic conditions, may explain the demographic success of the introduced plant populations relative to consp...
متن کاملBiodiversity: A Function of Plant-Animal Interactions in the Eastern Ghats Forest Ecosystem
---Biodiversity is a function of web of interactions taking place between plants and animals. The interactions between them are very complex, intricate and function in association with the abiotic environment. Since biodiversity is the key for the structural and functional integrity of ecosystems and it is the foundation for the very survival and sustainability of life on this planet, it is imp...
متن کاملDisentangling the effects of El Niño on a population of the polychaete Sigambra bassi in the Bay of Ancón, Peru
The macrobenthic community in shallow softbottom areas in the Bay of Ancón, Peru, is characterized by low biodiversity due to low oxygen concentrations. During El Niño (EN) events, higher water temperature and higher concentrations of dissolved oxygen induce a temporary increase in biodiversity. However, the structure and dynamics of the emerging macrobenthic community and populations, especial...
متن کاملPredicting biotic interactions and their variability in a changing environment.
Global environmental change is altering the patterns of biodiversity worldwide. Observation and theory suggest that species' distributions and abundances depend on a suite of processes, notably abiotic filtering and biotic interactions, both of which are constrained by species' phylogenetic history. Models predicting species distribution have historically mostly considered abiotic filtering and...
متن کاملDisentangling effects of abiotic factors and biotic interactions on cross-taxon congruence in species turnover patterns of plants, moths and beetles
High cross-taxon congruence in species diversity patterns is essential for the use of surrogate taxa in biodiversity conservation, but presence and strength of congruence in species turnover patterns, and the relative contributions of abiotic environmental factors and biotic interaction towards this congruence, remain poorly understood. In our study, we used variation partitioning in multiple r...
