ABSTRACT Species can evolve rapidly in response to competition but how evolution within communities affects community properties is unclear. To test this, we grew three marine phytoplankton species monoculture (alone) or polyculture (together) for 17 weeks. We then combined them based on their history (monoculture isolates) and tracked composition productivity over time. found that dominance was unaffected, coexistence reduced when evolved together (polyculture isolates). Total biovolume...
ABSTRACT Competition can drive rapid evolution, but forecasting how species evolve in communities remains difficult. Life history theory predicts that evolution crowded environments should maximize population production, with intra‐ and inter‐specific competition producing similar outcomes if compete for resources. Despite its appeal, this prediction has rarely been tested communities. To test generality identify physiological basis, we used experimental to maintain four of marine...
Abstract Global warming and ocean acidification are having an unprecedented impact on marine ecosystems, yet we do not know how phytoplankton will respond to simultaneous changes in multiple drivers. To better comprehend the combined of oceanic acidification, experimentally estimated evolution shifted temperature-CO2 growth response surfaces two strains Skeletonema marinoi that were each previously adapted four different temperature x CO2 combinations. These then grown under a factorial...
Abstract Over-exploitation of tropical lakes and reservoirs (‘lakes’) causes water quality problems that occur as a result competing socio-economic demands the presence feedback loops within system exacerbate situation. We review well documented case studies from Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia Mexico to examine effect changes in quantity have had on utilisation these lakes. By comparing different approaches used improve their sustainable management, we found nutrient enrichment is...
In freshwater systems, cyanobacteria are strong competitors under enhanced temperature and eutrophic conditions. Understanding their adaptive evolutionary potential to multiple environmental states allows us accurately predict response future To better understand if the combined impacts of nutrient limitation could suppress cyanobacterial blooms, a single strain Microcystis aeruginosa was inoculated into natural phytoplankton communities with different conditions: oligotrophic, addition...
Competition can drive rapid evolution but forecasting how species evolve in communities remains difficult. Life history theory predicts that crowded environments should maximise population production, with intra- and inter-specific competition producing similar outcomes if compete for resources. Despite its appeal, this prediction has rarely been tested communities. To test generality identify physiological basis, we experimentally evolved four of marine phytoplankton (spanning three orders...
ABSTRACT Water bodies located in floodplains and tropical forests are known to be important carbon stores, but many subjected intensive pressures from damming, land use climate changes. Sedimentary records preserve long‐term archives for understanding how such changes affect the quantity quality of stores. We analysed sediment cores seven sites across a flood‐pulse multi‐basin wetland, Tasik Chini Peninsular Malaysia (for percentage LOI 550 , density spheroidal carbonaceous particles),...
Abstract Understanding how lakes respond to changes in nutrient loading along a productivity gradient can help identify key drivers of aquatic change, thereby allowing appropriate mitigation strategies be developed. Physical, chemical and biological water column measurements combined with long-term monitoring data for six closely located crater lakes, Southeast Asia, were compared assess the response equating transect increasing aquaculture intensity. Increasing chlorophyll (phytoplankton...
Rapid development and climate change in southeast Asia is placing unprecedented pressures on freshwater ecosystems, but long term records of the ecological consequences are rare. Here we examine one basin Tasik Chini (Malaysia), a UNESCO‐designated flood pulse wetland, where human disturbances (dam installation, iron ore mining, oil palm rubber cultivation) have escalated since 1980s. Diatom analysis organic matter geochemistry (δ 13 C org C/N ratios) were applied to sediment sequence infer...
Abstract Cyanobacteria have a strong potential to compete well under elevated temperatures. Understanding how they acclimate and evolve climatic stressors can help us accurately predict their response forecasted future conditions. However, it is unclear whether increased temperature results in microevolution and/or changes gene expression. This the first study investigate long‐term exposure influences cyanobacterial genomes. Here, we cultivated three strains of Microcystis aeruginosa (M10,...
Understanding the long-term response of key marine phytoplankton species to ongoing global changes is pivotal in determining how oceanic community composition will respond over coming decades. To better understand impact ocean acidification and warming, we acclimated two strains Skeletonema marinoi isolated from natural communities three p CO 2 (400 μatm, 600 μatm 1000 μatm) for 8 months five temperature conditions (7°C, 10°C, 13°C, 16°C 19°C) 11 months. These were then tested microbial...
