Statistical methods to correct for observation error in a density‐independent population model
Ecological Monographs - Tập 79 Số 2 - Trang 299-324 - 2009
John P. Buonaccorsi, John Staudenmayer
The problem of observation error in assessing the dynamics of populations over time has received increasing attention of late. Of particular interest has been a density‐independent dynamic model, which allows a trend and is commonly employed in population viability analysis (PVA). Most of the recent work in this area has focused on assessing the impact of the observation error and on finding corre... hiện toàn bộ
A Trophic Position Model of Pelagic Food Webs: Impact on Contaminant Bioaccumulation in Lake Trout
Ecological Monographs - Tập 66 Số 4 - Trang 451-477 - 1996
M. Jake Vander Zanden, Joseph B. Rasmussen
To test how well use of discrete trophic levels represents pelagic trophic structure, we compiled dietary data from >200 lake trout and pelagic forage fish populations and calculated a continuous (fractional) measure of trophic position for each population. Although discrete trophic levels qualitatively represent broad—scale patterns in trophic structure, pelagic food webs are characterized by com... hiện toàn bộ
PERMANOVA, ANOSIM, and the Mantel test in the face of heterogeneous dispersions: What null hypothesis are you testing?
Ecological Monographs - Tập 83 Số 4 - Trang 557-574 - 2013
Marti J. Anderson, Daniel C. I. Walsh
ANOSIM, PERMANOVA, and the Mantel test are all resemblance‐based permutation methods widely used in ecology. Here, we report the results of the first simulation study, to our knowledge, specifically designed to examine the effects of heterogeneity of multivariate dispersions on the rejection rates of these tests and on a classical MANOVA test (Pillai's trace). Increasing differences in dispersion ... hiện toàn bộ
Environmental controls on the distribution of wildfire at multiple spatial scales
Ecological Monographs - Tập 79 Số 1 - Trang 127-154 - 2009
Marc‐André Parisien, Max A. Moritz
Despite its widespread occurrence globally, wildfire preferentially occupies an environmental middle ground and is significantly less prevalent in biomes characterized by environmental extremes (e.g., tundra, rain forests, and deserts). We evaluated the biophysical “environmental space” of wildfire from regional to subcontinental extents, with methods widely used for modeling habitat distributions... hiện toàn bộ
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE AND SEAWATER TEMPERATURE VARIATION ON CORAL BLEACHING AND MORTALITY
Ecological Monographs - Tập 77 Số 4 - Trang 503-525 - 2007
Tim R. McClanahan, Mebrahtu Ateweberhan, Christopher A. Muhando, Joseph Maina, Mohammed S. Mohammed
Some Physical and Biological Determinants of Coral Community Structure in the Eastern Pacific
Ecological Monographs - Tập 46 Số 4 - Trang 431-456 - 1976
Peter W. Glynn
Various physical and biological factors affecting coral community structure were investigated by direct observation and periodic censusing (supplemented with laboratory observations and experiments) on three coral reefs off the Pacific coast of Panama from 1970 to 1975. The physical environment has a strong control over coral growth at shallow depth; physical factors are also important subtidally ... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative Demography of Three Species of Scleractinian Corals Using Age‐ and Size‐Dependent Classifications
Ecological Monographs - Tập 61 Số 3 - Trang 225-244 - 1991
Russell C. Babcock
Three species of massive reef—building coral, Goniastrea aspera, G. favulus, and Platygyra sinensis, were studied on two fringing reef flats in the central Great Barrier Reef from 1982 to 1984. Total population sizes ranged from 25 to 292 colonies, and remained relatively constant. Population structures and dynamics based on both age and size were described. Differences between these two classific... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Herbivorous Fishes in the Organization of a Caribbean Reef Community
Ecological Monographs - Tập 56 Số 3 - Trang 183-200 - 1986
Sara M. Lewis
Experimental manipulations of grazing intensity were used to examine the role of herbivorous fishes in the families Acanthuridae (surgeonfishes) and Scaridae (parrotfishes) in determining distributions and abundances of benthic species within and among shallow tropical reef habitats. A back reef habitat along the Belizean barrier reef was characterized by a diverse benthic assemblage of algal turf... hiện toàn bộ
A 30-YEAR STUDY OF CORAL ABUNDANCE, RECRUITMENT, AND DISTURBANCE AT SEVERAL SCALES IN SPACE AND TIME
Ecological Monographs - Tập 67 Số 4 - Trang 461-488 - 1997
Joseph H. Connell, Terence P. Hughes, Carden C. Wallace
Anthropogenic N deposition increases soil C storage by reducing the relative abundance of lignolytic fungi
Ecological Monographs - Tập 88 Số 2 - Trang 225-244 - 2018
Elizabeth Entwistle, Donald R. Zak, William A. Argiroff
AbstractAtmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has increased dramatically since preindustrial times and continues to increase across many regions of the Earth. In temperate forests, this agent of global change has increased soil carbon (C) storage, but the mechanisms underlying this response are not understood. One long‐standing hypothesis proposed to explain the accumulation of soil C proposes that ... hiện toàn bộ
