  • Linking marine communities and ecosystems : invertebrates mediate nutrient availability in intertidal communities

    Creator:
    Bracken, Matthew E.
    Abstract:
    While community ecologists have traditionally focused on local-scale processes, it has become apparent that a broader perspective, which explores the community-level ramifications of material fluxes within and between ecosystems, is necessary to effectively evaluate bottom-up influences on community structure and dynamics. In this dissertation, I employed ecosystem principles to understand...

  • 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...

  • Cannibalism in larvae of the long-toed salamander, Ambystoma macrodactylum

    Creator:
    Wildy, Erica Lynn
    Abstract:
    Predator-prey interactions have historically been studied to explain patterns of organization observed in populations and communities. They have also been important in understanding the evolution of antipredator responses in prey and counterstrategies in predators. Despite the breadth of knowledge that exists for heterospecific interactions, relatively few studies have investigated the...
