متن کاملTrophic and individual efficiencies of size-structured communities.
Individual and trophic efficiencies of size-structured communities are derived from mechanistically based principles at the individual level. The derivations are relevant for communities with a size-based trophic structure, i.e. where trophic level is strongly correlated with individual size as in many aquatic systems. The derivations are used to link Lindeman's trophic theory and trophic theor...
متن کاملlanguage learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners
learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...
Linking 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 کاملNegative range size–abundance relationships in Indo-Pacific bird communities
tropical areas and those in temperate zones. Hypotheses to explain positive range size–abundance relationships have focused on the ability of generalist species to appropriate resources, which allows them to simultaneously expand their ranges and dominate local communities (Brown 1984). The combination of geographic isolation with the high environmental stability of the tropics, however, may cr...
