  • Population dynamics of coral-reef fishes : spatial variation in emigration, mortality, and predation

    Creator:
    Overholtzer-McLeod, Karen L.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the dynamics of open marine populations is difficult. Ecological processes may vary with the spatial structure of the habitat, and this variation may subsequently affect demographic rates. In a series of observational and experimental studies in the Bahamas, I examined the roles of emigration, mortality, and predation in the...

  • Factors affecting the dynamics and regulation of coral-reef fish populations

    Creator:
    Webster, Michael Scott
    Abstract:
    Ecologists have long questioned why fluctuating populations tend to persist rather than go extinct. Populations that persist indefinitely are regulated by mechanisms that cause demographic density dependence, which works to bound fluctuation above zero. In a series of studies, I have sought to determine the processes and mechanisms that regulate...

  • Role of priority effects and habitat complexity in coral-reef fish communities

    Creator:
    Almany, Glenn R.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the processes that influence the composition of animal communities is a central goal in ecology. Interactions between established residents and colonizing juveniles that affect the subsequent survival of juveniles may influence community composition. In a series of experiments on coral reef fish communities in the Bahamas and Australia, I...
