HOW ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES ARE STRUCTURED: A REVIEW ON ECOLOGICAL ASSEMBLY RULES
(Fondo Editorial EIA - Universidad EIA, 2016-02-25)
Whether biological communities are deterministic or stochastic assemblages of species has long been a central topic of ecology. The widely demonstrated presence of structural patterns in nature may imply the existence of ...
Testing the niche variation hypothesis in a community of passerine birds
(Ecological Society of America, 2017)
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) predicts that populations with broader niches should exhibit greater between- individual diet variation or individual specialization (IS) relative to populations with narrower niches. ...
Cryptic interactions revisited from ecological networks: Mosses as a key link between trees and hummingbirds
(Wiley, 2020)
1. Ecological interactions are the glue of biodiversity, structuring communities and
determining their functionality. However, our knowledge about ecological interactions
is usually biased against cryptic interactions ...
The Salivary Mycobiome contains 2 ecologically distinct Mycotypes
(SAGE, 2020)
A broad range of fungi has been detected in molecular surveys of the oral mycobiome. However, knowledge is still lacking on interindividual variability of these communities and the ecologic and clinical significance of ...
Three levels of integrating ecology with the conservation of South American temperate forests: The initiative of the Institute of Ecological Research Chiloe, Chile
(2000)
The diversity of native species assemblages and that of indigenous cultures that once characterized the temperate forests of southern Chile have experienced a process of homogenization ever since the Spanish conquest. Today ...
Molecular analysis of microbiota along the digestive tract of juvenile atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Springer New York, 2009)
Dominant bacterial microbiota of the gut of juvenile farmed Atlantic salmon was investigated using a combination of molecular approaches. Bacterial community composition from the stomach, the pyloric caeca, and the intestine ...
Retrospective qualitative analysis of ecological networks under environmental perturbation: a copper-polluted intertidal community as a case study
(Springer, 2012)
The coast of Chañaral Bay in northern Chile
has been affected by copper mine wastes for decades. This
sustained perturbation has disrupted the intertidal community
in several ways, but the mechanisms behind the
...
Pollination ecology and breeding system of two Calceolaria species in Chile
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2014)
Many angiosperms are exclusively dependent on pollinators
for its reproduction (Matallana et al. 2010; Arroyo
et al. 2006). However, pollinators sometimes could be
erratic and variable in relation to the ecological ...
Induced defenses within food webs: The role of community trade-offs, delayed responses, and defense specificity
(2009)
In nature, prey and predator species are embedded in complex networks of ecological interactions. As a
consequence, organism level reactions such as predator-induced prey defenses will not only influence
the dynamics of ...
Indirect interactions in a microcosm-assembled cladoceran community: Implications for apparent competition
(2002)
Apparent competition occurs when species that otherwise may not directly interact still exhibit negative indirect effects on one another because they share a food-limited predator (enemy). Even though this type of indirect ...
