Freshwater habitats are of high conservation value and provide a wide range ecosystem services. Effective management requires regular monitoring. However, conventional methods based on direct observation or specimen collection so invasive, expensive labour-intensive that frequent monitoring is uncommon. Here, we test whether the evaluation environmental DNA (eDNA) from water simple protocol can be used for assessing biodiversity. We use universal metazoan primers characterizing eDNA across...
Urban stormwater ponds in Singapore are interspaced among the industrial and residential areas of this highly urbanized country represent potentially harsh artificial habitats which freshwater fish communities might be limited to low numbers just a few hardy species. A recent first-time survey three large urban Singapore, however, revealed that these greater density species richness than expected, with combined 24 densities ranging from 0.26 306.04 Ha -1 . These consisted only alien species,...
Abstract Studies of ecosystem functions are gaining traction in the scientific community along with a growing consensus that losses have widespread consequences. Food webs, which networks comprising all trophic interactions (represented by links) between taxa present nodes), important aspects functioning, yet clear understanding factors and mechanisms influencing their assembly structure is lacking. In our study, we addressed this fundamental question investigating respective roles (1)...
Reefs in Southeast Asia, such as those Indonesia's Riau archipelago, are among the most diverse habitats sea, but limited baseline data pose a severe challenge for their conservation. Here, we surveyed five reef sites along northern coast of Bintan Island to determine recent condition benthic and fish communities. Fourteen years resort development on island have elapsed since last survey 1993. Using several diversity measures compare reefs then 2007, found that abundances hard corals...
Recent biodiversity surveys in the lentic habitats of Singapore revealed that non-native cichlids (at least 14 species from different origins) were most abundant reservoirs Singapore. To understand diversity and distribution patterns six (two inland four coastal), we investigated richness abundances these cichlids. We also foodwebs to characterise trophic relationships relative aquatic community using stable isotope gut content analyses each reservoir. Based on various sampling methods...
Food webs summarise trophic interactions of the biotic components within an ecosystem, which can influence nutrient dynamics and energy flows, ultimately affecting ecosystem functions services. represent hypothesised links between predators prey be presented as empirical food webs, in relative strength/importance respective are quantified. Some common methods used web research include gut content analysis (GCA) stable isotope (SIA). We combine both to construct models a basis for monitoring...
This study provides length-weight relationships (LWR) for three common marine species collected from Singapore, a small tropical island country in southeast Asia, where monthly collections using seine netting and fish trapping were performed at six sites January to December 2010. The LWRs of these BW = 0.0348 SL3.002 (n 305, r2 .9747) Paracentropogon longispinis, 0.0315 SL3.039 104, r .9798) Trachicephalus uranoscopus 0.0651 SL3.021 70, .9601) Synanceja horrida respectively.
