Functional Richness and Identity Do Not Strongly Affect Invasibility of Constructed Dune Communities
Biotic effects are often used to explain community structure and invasion resistance. We evaluated the contribution of functional richness and identity to invasion resistance and abiotic resource availability using a mesocosm experiment. We predicted that higher functional richness would confer greater invasion resistance through greater resource sequestration. We also predicted that niche pre-...
متن کاملModel uncertainties do not affect observed patterns of species richness in the Amazon
BACKGROUND Climate change is arguably a major threat to biodiversity conservation and there are several methods to assess its impacts on species potential distribution. Yet the extent to which different approaches on species distribution modeling affect species richness patterns at biogeographical scale is however unaddressed in literature. In this paper, we verified if the expected responses t...
متن کاملThe invasibility of marine algal assemblages: role of functional diversity and identity.
The emergence of the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning debate in the last decade has renewed interest in understanding why some communities are more easily invaded than others and how the impact of invasion on recipient communities and ecosystems varies. To date most of the research on invasibility has focused on taxonomic diversity, i.e., species richness. However, functional diversity of the...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولFunctional richness, functional evenness, and use of niche space in parasite communities.
Most efforts aimed at elucidating the factors responsible for the variation in species richness among different parasite communities have focused on host characteristics such as body mass or diet. Independently of host features, however, the way in which parasites use resources within the host may also affect the species richness of the community. The distribution of parasite individuals or bio...
