Ichthyoplankton assemblage structure of springs in the Yangtze Estuary revealed by biological and environmental visions [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
The ichthyoplankton assemblage structure in the Yangtze Estuary was analyzed based on four springs in 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2007 in order to provide detailed characterizations of the ichthyoplankton assemblage in springs, examine the long-term dynamics of

Drivers of Anuran Assemblage Structure in a Subtropical Montane Region. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACTElevation gradients provide excellent semi‐experimental conditions to investigate how the spatial distribution of biodiversity is shaped by the environment. Here, we investigate how temperature, productivity, and elevation are related to the diversity of anuran assemblages in a montane region of the southern Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Fish Assemblage Structure in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Is Associated with the Architectural Complexity of Coral-Reef Habitats

Diversity, 2020
The architectural complexity of coral-reef habitat plays an important role in determining the assemblage structure of reef fish. We investigated associations between the reef habitats and fish assemblages in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) using

Linking abiotic conditions to mosquito assemblage structure in bromeliads. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Bromeliads provide a unique habitat for many insect species, including immature forms of mosquitoes. This study investigates the effect of abiotic factors, specifically temperature, rainfall, water volume, and physicochemical parameters, on the occurrence and abundance of mosquitoes developing in bromeliads within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Climate mediates the effects of disturbance on ant assemblage structure. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2015
Many studies have focused on the impacts of climate change on biological assemblages, yet little is known about how climate interacts with other major anthropogenic influences on biodiversity, such as habitat disturbance. Using a unique global database of 1128 local ant assemblages, we examined whether climate mediates the effects of habitat ...

Coastal Upwelling Drives Intertidal Assemblage Structure and Trophic Ecology. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Similar environmental driving forces can produce similarity among geographically distant ecosystems. Coastal oceanic upwelling, for example, has been associated with elevated biomass and abundance patterns of certain functional groups, e.g., corticated macroalgae.

Human Disturbance Affects Dung Beetle Assemblages in French Guiana Forests

Diversity, 2022
French Guiana forests are threatened by increasing human activity such as infrastructure development, facilitating access to the forest and, therefore, logging, mining, farming and hunting.

Larval Fish Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Different Ecological Guilds in Yangtze Estuary

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Estuaries, as important fish nursery habitats, usually include a variety of larval fishes of different ecological guilds and exhibit complicated changing environmental conditions.

Spring Ichthyoplankton Assemblage Structure in the Yangtze Estuary Under Environmental Factors

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Estuaries, where fresh and salty water converge, provide abundant nutrients for ichthyoplankton. Ichthyoplankton, including fish eggs, larvae, and juveniles, are important fishery recruitment resources.

Macrobenthic Mollusca of the Prince Gustav Channel, Eastern Antarctic Peninsula: An Area Undergoing Colonisation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In 2018 RRS James Clark Ross investigated the marine benthic biodiversity of the Prince Gustav Channel area which separates the eastern coast of the Antarctic Peninsula from James Ross Island.
