Developing a broader scientific foundation for river restoration: Columbia River food webs.
Well-functioning food webs are fundamental for sustaining rivers as ecosystems and maintaining associated aquatic and terrestrial communities. The current emphasis on restoring habitat structure--without explicitly considering food webs--has been less successful than hoped in terms of enhancing the status of targeted species and often overlooks important constraints on ecologically effective re...
متن کاملThe possibility of occurrence of the phenomenon “fishing down marine food webs” in the coastal waters of Hormozgan Province (north of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea)
We examined the temporal trend in mean trophic level (mTL), trophic category landing (TrC) and landing profile (LP) of the exploited marine community (49 species) in the fishing zone of Hormozgan (north of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea) from 2001 to 2011. LP had an increasing trend (r = 0.88, P<0.001), whereas, mTL of the landings showed a significant decrease from 2001 to 2011 (r = -0.69, P<0.05)....
متن کاملModelling Food Webs
We review theoretical approaches to the understanding of food webs. After an overview of the available food web data, we discuss three different classes of models. The first class comprise static models, which assign links between species according to some simple rule. The second class are dynamical models, which include the population dynamics of several interacting species. We focus on the qu...
متن کاملTopological properties of food webs: from real data to community assembly models
We explore patterns of trophic connections between species in the largest and highest-quality empirical food webs to date, introducing a new topological property called the link distribution frequency (i.e. degree distribution), defined as the frequency of species SL with L links. Non-trivial differences are shown in link distribution frequencies between species-rich and species-poor communitie...
متن کاملRescaling stable isotope data for standardized evaluations of food webs and species niches
Many human and natural events can impact aquatic populations and communities, leaving strong imprints as altered food web dynamics. Stable C and N isotopes in fish can record these altered trophic dynamics in an integrated way, and a new simple methodology is presented to extract measures of food web change from isotope measurements of fish species. Measured C and N isotope data are re-scaled a...
