Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes
A preliminary mass-balance trophic model was constructed for the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (0 - 120 m depth). The ecosystem was partitioned into 15 trophic groups, and biomasses for selected groups were obtained

Asynchronous population trends stabilize mesopredatory coral reef fish communities in the face of global change

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can underpin stability in communities, allowing them to withstand environmental fluctuations without changes in aggregate properties like total abundance or biomass. We investigated the influence of biodiversity on two crucial population‐level mechanisms governing abundance stability in mesopredatory coral reef fishes: 1) ‘community ...

Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Alike but still different: coexistence of four raptor species explained by breeding habitat segregation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled by comparing ecological niches of species pairs, although usually more than just two species compete for the same resources.
