Stochastic and deterministic processes jointly structure tropical arthropod communities.
The question of whether ecological assemblages are structured by stochastic and deterministic (e.g. interspecific competition) processes is controversial, but it is difficult to design sampling regimes and experiments that can dissect the relative importance of stochastic and deterministic processes in natural assemblages. Using null models, we tested communities of arthropod decomposers in tro...
متن کاملImpact of Canopy Openness on Spider Communities: Implications for Conservation Management of Formerly Coppiced Oak Forests.
Traditional woodland management created a mosaic of differently aged patches providing favorable conditions for a variety of arthropods. After abandonment of historical ownership patterns and traditional management and the deliberate transformation to high forest after World War II, large forest areas became darker and more homogeneous. This had significant negative consequences for biodiversit...
متن کاملCentipedal hemocyanin: its structure and its implications for arthropod phylogeny.
The oxygen carrier hemocyanin occurs in the blood of Scutigera coleoptrata, a uniramous arthropod, as well as the crustaceans and chelicerates. The native polymer appears to be composed of substructures having the same size and electron-dense image as those of other arthropod hemocyanins but assembled into a unique multiple and arranged in a unique configuration. The simplest explanation of the...
متن کاملThe California Oak Disease and Arthropod ( CODA ) Database 1
The California Oak Disease and Arthropod (CODA) host index database is a compilation of information on agents that colonize or feed on oaks in California. Agents in the database include plant-feeding insects and mites, nematodes, microorganisms, viruses, and abiotic disease agents. CODA contains summarized information on hosts, agents, information sources, and the details of the host-agent inte...
متن کاملUnderstory-Canopy Relationships in Oak Woodlands and Savannas1
We summarize available information about the relationships between oak overstory and understory plants for major California rangeland types. Understory biomass, productivity, and plant species composition vary considerably because of geographic location, overstory species composition, and overstory density and distribution. Deciduous oak canopies in areas with less than 50 cm annual precipitati...
