Benthic Invertebrate Community Structure
Fundamental to the scientific method is the use of controls or control conditions against which results obtained under test conditions are compared. In field studies, all variables cannot be controlled and replicates cannot be randomly assigned to treatments, so an attempt is made to choose test and control conditions (often represented by different sites) that are as similar as possible; the v...
متن کاملChronic ®shing disturbance has changed shelf sea benthic community structure
1. Bottom ®shing using towed nets and dredges is one of the most widespread sources of physical disturbance to the continental shelf seas throughout the world. Previous studies suggest that degradation and ecosystem changes have occurred in intensively ®shed areas. Nevertheless, to date it has been dicult to attribute habitat and benthic community changes to ®shing eort at a spatial scale tha...
متن کاملOn the origin of Antarctic marine benthic community structure.
Environmental conditions fostering marine communities around Antarctica differ fundamentally from those in the rest of the world's oceans, particularly in terms of pronounced climatic fluctuations and extreme cold. Here, we argue that the rarity of pelagic larval stages in Antarctic marine benthic invertebrate species is a consequence of evolutionary temperature adaptation and that this has gre...
متن کاملLinking size-based and trophic analyses of benthic community structure
Models of biomass size spectra assume that organisms with higher body mass feed at higher trophic levels, but explicit empirical tests of this pattern are rare. We used nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) as an index of the trophic level in a benthic fish and invertebrate size-spectrum, and demonstrated that body mass was positively and significantly related to trophic level. This pattern was consi...
متن کاملthe biological assessment of the zaringol stream using the structure of benthic macroinvertebrates (golestan province)
this study was conducted to assess water quality level of zarin gol stream on macrobenthic invertebrates. macrobenthic fauna were sampled from 9 selected sampling stations along the stream with an average distance of 22 km by using a surber sampler every 45 days during the year. sampling was replicated 9 times in each sampling station. collected samples were fixed with 4% formalin, isolated, an...
