Species turnover and the regulation of trophic structure

Article Abstract:

Short-term experiments yield fewer changes in the composition of species than those observed in natural communities. This is due primarily to the different temporal scales governing experiments and naturally occurring phenomena. Experiments also lack the impacts of resource productivity and predators as found in natural environments, creating further research disparity.

Patch shape and orientation influences on seagrass epifauna are mediated by dispersal abilities

Article Abstract:

The affect of patch shape and orientation on colonization of artificial seagrass patches by adults of a range of animal taxa is examined. The response of passively dispersed seagrass epifauna towards the shape and orientation of artificial seagrass patches in the instance of strong dispersal mechanism is presented.
