Partitioning the variation among spatial, temporal and environmental components in a multivariate data setWiley - Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 158-167 - 1998
Marti J. Anderson, N. A. Cribble
Abstract We propose a method of partitioning the variation in a multivariate set of data according to (i) environmental variables, (ii) variables describing the spatial structure in the data and (iii) temporal variables. This method is an extension of an existing method for partialling out the spatial component of environmental variation, using canonical analysis. Ou...... hiện toàn bộ
Role of meiofauna in estuarine soft‐bottom habitats*Wiley - Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 327-343 - 1999
Bruce C. Coull
Meiofauna are ubiquitous in estuaries worldwide averaging 106 m−2. Abundance and species composition are controlled primarily by three physical factors: sediment particle size, temperature and salinity. While meiofauna are integral parts of estuarine food webs, the evidence that they are biologically controlled is equivocal. Top down (predation) co...... hiện toàn bộ
Insect herbivory on mangrove leaves in North Queensland*Wiley - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 1-7 - 1987
A. I. Robertson, Norman C. Duke
AbstractEstimates of leaf damage by insect herbivores are presented for 25 species of mangrove plants, comprising canopy and understorey species. Leaf area loss was highly variable among the species sampled, with means ranging from 0.3 to 35.0% of expanded leaf area. There was also great variability amongst leaves within species, and the mean coefficient of variati...... hiện toàn bộ
Non‐parametric multivariate analyses of changes in community structureWiley - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 117-143 - 1993
K.R. Clarke
Abstract
In the early 1980s, a strategy for graphical representation of multivariate (multi‐species) abundance data was introduced into marine ecology by, among others, Field, et al. (1982). A decade on, it is instructive to: (i) identify which elements of this often‐quoted strategy have proved most useful in practical assessment of c...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantifying observer heterogeneity in bird countsWiley - Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 270-277 - 1999
Ross B. Cunningham, David B. Lindenmayer, H. A. Nix, Bruce D. Lindenmayer
An essential pilot study was designed to quantify observer heterogeneity and to compare observation methods for the detectability of forest birds in stands of Eucalyptus and Pinus radiata forest as a basis for a major research project on habitat fragmentation near Tumut, southern New South Wales. Twelve experienced observers participate...... hiện toàn bộ
Taxonomy of estuarine invertebrates in AustraliaWiley - Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 381-394 - 1999
Pat Hutchings
An Australian estuary is primarily a marine‐dominated environment, subjected to major salinity changes only after heavy rains and during flood conditions. In southeastern Australia estuarine biota are similar to those in shallow coastal bays and some of the coastal lagoons, and most taxonomic studies on estuarine fauna have occurred in this region. Several major surveys of estuarine and co...... hiện toàn bộ
