Extreme climate events produce simultaneous changes to the mean and variance of climatic variables over ecological time scales. While several studies have investigated how systems respond in values variables, combined effects are poorly understood. We examined response low-shore assemblages algae invertebrates rocky seashores northwest Mediterranean factorial manipulations intensity temporal aerial exposure, a type disturbance whose patterning occurrence predicted change with changing...
Understanding the extent to which natural assemblages withstand changes in regime of disturbance has considerable practical and theoretical interest. In this paper we examine separate interactive effects intensity, temporal variation, spatial on variance algae invertebrates rocky shores northwest Mediterranean. Temporal variation is a predictor variable experiment, while abundance number taxa structure are response variables. Multivariate analyses detected positive relationship between...
Ecosystems are under pressure from multiple human disturbances whose impact may vary depending on environmental context. We experimentally evaluated variation in the separate and combined effects of loss a key functional group (canopy algae) physical disturbance rocky shore ecosystems at nine locations across Europe. Multivariate community structure was initially affected (during first three to six months) but after 18 months, were apparent only three. Loss canopy caused increases cover...

Understanding how species interactions drive succession is a key issue in ecology. In this study we show the utility of combining concepts and methodologies developed within biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research program with J. H. Connell R. O. Slatyer's classic framework to understand assemblages where multiple between early late colonists may include both inhibitory facilitative effects. We assessed net effect on successional changes by manipulating richness, composition, abundance...

The effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) and the conservation environments must be based on reliable information quality environment that can obtained in a reasonable timeframe. We reviewed studies evaluated all aspects related to MPAs order describe how were conducted detect fields which research is lacking. Existing parameters used evaluate are summarised.

Neutral models and differential responses of species to environmental heterogeneity offer complementary explanations abundance distribution dynamics. Under what circumstances one model prevails over the other is still a matter debate. We show that decay similarity time in rocky seashore assemblages algae invertebrates sampled period 16 years was consistent with predictions stochastic ecological drift at scales larger than 2 years, but not between 3 24 months when quantified an index...

Thus, how is it possible understand extension independence historical findings where does (mis)interpretations those begin?
