IMPACTS OF ROOT COMPETITION IN FORESTS AND WOODLANDS: A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND REVIEW OF EXPERIMENTS.
May 01, 2000; COOMES, DAVID A. ... DAVID A. COOMES [1,3] PETER J. GRUBB [2] Abstract. Light is widely considered to be the most important factor limiting the performance of plants on the floors of forests and woodlands, but the roles of nutrient availability and water supply remain poorly defined. We ...
FOREST BIRD COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN CENTRAL PANAMA: INFLUENCE OF SPATIAL SCALE AND BIOGEOGRAPHY.
May 01, 2000; ROBINSON, W. DOUGLAS ... W. DOUGLAS ROBINSON [1,3] JEFFREY D. BRAWN [2] SCOTT K. ROBINSON [2] Abstract. Historical and biogeographic contexts can play important, yet sometimes overlooked, roles in determining structure of local communities. In particular, few examinations of ...
STRONG IMPACTS OF GRAZING AMPHIPODS ON THE ORGANIZATION OF A BENTHIC COMMUNITY.(Statistical Data Included)
May 01, 2000; DUFFY, J. EMMETT ... J. EMMETT DUFFY [1,3] MARK E. HAY [2] Abstract. Large brown seaweeds dominate coastal hard substrata throughout many of the world's oceans. In coastal North Carolina, USA, this dominance by brown seaweeds is facilitated by omnivorous fishes, which feed both on red ...
RECRUITMENT VS. POSTRECRUITMENT PROCESSES AS DETERMINANTS OF BARNACLE POPULATION ABUNDANCE.(Statistical Data Included)
May 01, 2000; MENGE, BRUCE A. ... BRUCE A. MENGE [1] Abstract. Determining the relative contributions of recruitment vs. postrecruitment processes to adult populations is an unresolved issue. The "recruit-adult" hypothesis suggests that the density of recruits is a good predictor of adult density when low but ...
GENETIC INFLUENCES ON EXPERIMENTAL POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE LEAST KILLIFISH.(Statistical Data Included)
May 01, 2000; LIEPS, JEFF ... JEFF LEIPS [1] JOSEPH TRAVIS F. HELEN RODD [2] Abstract. When natural populations differ in density or in the dynamic fluctuations of population size, some of those differences may result from their different ecological conditions, and some may originate ...
THERMAL ECOLOGY AND SEXUAL SIZE DIMORPHISM IN NORTHERN WATER SNAKES, NERODIA SIPEDON.(Statistical Data Included)
May 01, 2000; BROWN, GREGORY P. ... GREGORY P. BROWN [1] PATRICK J. WEATHERHEAD [2] Abstract. We used more than 326 000 observations of temperature collected by radio telemetry from 38 individuals over three years to investigate thermoregulation and thermal relations of northern water snakes (Nerodia ...
SEED DISPERSAL, SEED PREDATION, AND SEEDLING RECRUITMENT OF A NEOTROPICAL MONTANE TREE.(Statistical Data Included)
May 01, 2000; WENNY, DANIEL G. ... DANIEL G. WENNY [1] Abstract. Postdispersal fate of seeds from Ocotea endresiana (Lauraceae), a bird-dispersed Neotropical montane tree, was studied in Costa Rica to determine the influence of seed dispersers, seed predators, and microhabitat characteristics on seedling ...
