Mechanisms That Generate Resource Pulses in a Fluctuating Wetland. [PDF]
Animals living in patchy environments may depend on resource pulses to meet the high energetic demands of breeding. We developed two primary a priori hypotheses to examine relationships between three categories of wading bird prey biomass and covariates ...

Coral cover a stronger driver of reef fish trophic biomass than fishing [PDF]
Abstract An influential paradigm in coral reef ecology is that fishing causes trophic cascades through reef fish assemblages, resulting in reduced herbivory and thus benthic phase shifts from coral to algal dominance. Few long‐term field tests exist of how fishing affects the trophic structure of coral reef fish assemblages, and how ...

MODELING FISH BIOMASS STRUCTURE AT NEAR PRISTINE CORAL REEFS AND DEGRADATION BY FISHING [PDF]
Inverted biomass pyramids (IBPs) seem to be extremely rare in natural communities. Until recently, the only examples have been in freshwater and marine planktonic communities. In 2002 and 2008, investigators documented inverted biomass pyramids for nearly pristine coral reef ecosystems within the NW Hawaiian islands and the Line Islands, where apex ...
