Abstract:
The practice of biogeography is rooted in disciplines that traditionally have had little intellectual exchange and yielded two complementary biogeographic approaches: ecological and historical biogeography. The aim of this paper is to review alternative biogeographic approaches in the context of spatial analysis. Biogeography can be used to set priorities for conservation of biological diversity, but also to design strategies to control biological invasions and vectors of human diseases, to provide information about the former distribution of species, and to guide development of ecological restoration initiatives, among other applications. But no one of these applications could be fully carried out until an integrative framework on biogeography, which bridges biogeographical historical and ecological paths of thinking, has been developed. Although we do not propose a new biogeographic method, we highlight the causes and consequences of the lack of a conceptual framework integrating ecology and history in biogeography, and how this required framework would allow biogeography to be fully utilised in fields such as conservation.

Abstract:
Recent methodological developments in historical biogeography generally treat biogeographic distribution as synonymous with occupancy of 'areas'. The aim of biogeographic analysis has been to determine the historical relationships of these areas using information from the distributions and phylogenetic relationships of animals and plants. While this may be of interest to geologists, it is of little interest to most biologists since it offers no direct insight into the historical processes that generate biogeographic patterns. Attempts to use relationships of areas (obtained from biogeographic patterns) to understand biogeographic processes can involve circularity. Focusing on relationships of areas relegates biology to a minor consideration in biogeography. This has resulted in the unfortunate dichotomy between 'ecological' and 'historical' biogeography. A biogeography of areas also limits the information potentially available from biogeographic distributions. Choice of areas for biogeographic analysis can be problematical and analysis is sensitive to this choice. Problems in identifying and analysing biogeographic areas are illustrated with trans-oceanic and local examples of austral biogeography.

Abstract:
In this article, I first review recent developments in biogeography, after which I discuss some attempts at synthesis. The main body of the article, however, is devoted to the conception of ranges in terms of physiological responses to environmental variation. Because of this variation, such deterministic responses have to be described in stochastic terms in the case of local processes. Moreover, because of the same variation, species ranges will change location, size, and shape all the time, whereas internally their numerical structure shows up their dynamic nature. Ranges, therefore, are to be conceived as processes rather than as patterns, as they have been for long in the past.

Abstract:
In this paper, I review the relevance of the niche to biogeography, and what biogeography may tell us about the niche. The niche is defined as the combination of abiotic and biotic conditions where a species can persist. I argue that most biogeographic patterns are created by niche differences over space, and that even ‘geographic barriers’ must have an ecological basis. However, we know little about specific ecological factors underlying most biogeographic patterns. Some evidence supports the importance of abiotic factors, whereas few examples exist of large-scale patterns created by biotic interactions. I also show how incorporating biogeography may offer new perspectives on resource-related niches and species interactions. Several examples demonstrate that even after a major evolutionary radiation within a region, the region can still be invaded by ecologically similar species from another clade, countering the long-standing idea that communities and regions are generally ‘saturated’ with species. I also describe the somewhat paradoxical situation where competition seems to limit trait evolution in a group, but does not prevent co-occurrence of species with similar values for that trait (called here the ‘competition–divergence–co-occurrence conundrum’). In general, the interface of biogeography and ecology could be a major area for research in both fields.

Abstract:
Although ecology and biogeography had common origins in the natural history of the nineteenth century, they diverged substantially during the early twentieth century as ecology became increasingly hypothesis-driven and experimental. This mechanistic focus narrowed ecology's purview to local scales of time and space, and mostly excluded large-scale phenomena and historical explanations. In parallel, biogeography became more analytical with the acceptance of plate tectonics and the development of phylogenetic systematics, and began to pay more attention to ecological factors that influence large-scale distributions. This trend towards unification exposed problems with terms such as ‘community’ and ‘niche,’ in part because ecologists began to view ecological communities as open systems within the contexts of history and geography. The papers in this issue represent biogeographic and ecological perspectives and address the general themes of (i) the niche, (ii) comparative ecology and macroecology, (iii) community assembly, and (iv) diversity. The integration of ecology and biogeography clearly is a natural undertaking that is based on evolutionary biology, has developed its own momentum, and which promises novel, synthetic approaches to investigating ecological systems and their variation over the surface of the Earth. We offer suggestions on future research directions at the intersection of biogeography and ecology.

Abstract:
The growing recognition that spatial scale and heterogeneity affect ecological processes has focused heightened attention over the last decade on principles from the field of landscape ecology. Landscape ecologists, drawing on principles from a diverse array of disciplines and fields, including physical and human geography, focus explicitly on the interrelation between landscape structure (i.e., pattern) and landscape function (i.e., processes). In this article, I discuss the application of landscape ecological principles to a specific and pressing issue: nature reserve design and functioning. To do so, I outline and review five landscape ecological themes with relevance to reserve design and management: reserve distribution, reserve shape, landscape corridor design and functioning, boundary dynamics, and reserve functioning. I particularly stress: 1) the role that landscape ecological theories may have in integrating existing principles from applied biogeography and population biology, and 2) the unique insights provided by a landscape ecological approach. Finally, I argue that biogeographers, because of our distinct skills, need to be more active in the development and advancement of landscape ecological theory.

Abstract:
Understanding how geography, oceanography, and climate have ultimately shaped marine biodiversity requires aligning the distributions of genetic diversity across multiple taxa. Here, we examine phylogeographic partitions in the sea against a backdrop of biogeographic provinces defined by taxonomy, endemism, and species composition. The taxonomic identities used to define biogeographic provinces are routinely accompanied by diagnostic genetic differences between sister species, indicating interspecific concordance between biogeography and phylogeography. In cases where individual species are distributed across two or more biogeographic provinces, shifts in genotype frequencies often align with biogeographic boundaries, providing intraspecific concordance between biogeography and phylogeography. Here, we provide examples of comparative phylogeography from (i) tropical seas that host the highest marine biodiversity, (ii) temperate seas with high productivity but volatile coastlines, (iii) migratory marine fauna, and (iv) plankton that are the most abundant eukaryotes on earth. Tropical and temperate zones both show impacts of glacial cycles, the former primarily through changing sea levels, and the latter through coastal habitat disruption. The general concordance between biogeography and phylogeography indicates that the population-level genetic divergences observed between provinces are a starting point for macroevolutionary divergences between species. However, isolation between provinces does not account for all marine biodiversity; the remainder arises through alternative pathways, such as ecological speciation and parapatric (semiisolated) divergences within provinces and biodiversity hotspots.

Abstract:
The biogeographic history of a species is a result of both stochastic processes such as dispersal and habitat filters that determine where a population with a given set of biological requirements can become established. In this dissertation, I examine the geographical and ecological distribution of the sedge tribe Schoeneae in conjunction with its inferred speciation history in order to determine the pattern of dispersal and the environmental factors that have influenced establishment. The biogeographic reconstruction indicates numerous transoceanic dispersal events consistent with random diffusion from an Australian point of origin, but with a bias towards habitats with vegetation type and moisture regime similar to the ancestral conditions of the given subgroup (open and dry habitats in the majority of cases). The global distribution of the tribe also suggests a preference for low-nutrient soils, which I investigate at the local (microhabitat) scale by contrasting the distributions of the tribes Schoeneae and Cypereae on the Cape Peninsula along soil fertility axes. The relationships between the phenotypic traits of species and their soil nutrient levels are also examined to determine whether the coexistence of the two groups in the Cape can be attributed to differences in nutrient accumulation behaviour or strategy of biomass allocation to roots or structural organs vs. leaves. No robust patterns were observed to identify such adaptations or to distinguish the tribes ecologically, a result that is at least partly due to low statistical power in the data set collected, which constrains the analysis to the use of simple models less able to detect subtle patterns in the ecological history of these sedges.

Abstract:
Rivers are hierarchical networks that integrate both large and small scale processes within catchments. They are highly influenced by variation in flow and are characterised by strong longitudinal movement of materials. I conducted an extensive literature review that indicated braided rivers lie at the upper end of the river complexity gradient due to the addition of strong lateral and vertical connectivity with their floodplains. The management of these rivers requires an understanding of the connective linkages that drive complexity, however in developed regions few braided river systems remain intact. The large number of relatively pristine braided rivers in New Zealand provided a unique opportunity to study physical and biotic patterns in these large dynamic systems. Initially I examined horizontal connectivity through patterns in regional and local diversity in eleven braided rivers in the North and South islands of New Zealand. Subsequently, the next component of my thesis focused on vertical connectivity through intensive investigations of energy pathways and the recipient spring stream food-webs. The eleven river survey included sampling of multiple reaches and habitats (main channels, side braids, spring sources, spring streams and ponds) and confirmed the importance of lateral habitats to invertebrate diversity. However, I found that large spatial scales made a greater contribution to diversity than small scales, such that major differences occurred between rivers rather than habitats. This result suggested either a role for catchment-scale factors, such as flow, or biogeographic patterning. Subsequent analysis of the relationships between invertebrate diversity and the physical environment indicated strong regulation by flow variability, but also biogeographic community patterns. Braided rivers are clearly disturbance dominated ecosystems, however the effects of disturbance are manifest in different ways across the riverscape. The role of vertical hydrological connectivity in linking the different components of the floodplain was investigated by tracing carbon pathways from the terrestrial floodplain to spring-fed streams and their communities. Using δ13C isotope signatures it was possible to show that inorganic carbon in groundwater was derived from terrestrial vegetation and subsequently incorporated into spring stream food-webs. However, the degree to which a stream community uses groundwater as opposed to allochthonous carbon is affected by the successional stage of riparian vegetation, a function of the shifting habitat mosaic that is regulated primarily by flow variation and sediment dynamics. In summary, the structure of braided river ecosystems is regulated primarily at the catchment scale, but connectivity at smaller scales plays an important role in determining ecological structure and function.

Abstract:
The termite family Rhinotermitidae contains some of the world’s most economically significant pests. In Australia, members of the Rhinotermitidae are found distributed across nearly all environments on the mainland. Some Australian species in this family are of particular evolutionary significance because they are the only species in the family to build mounds above ground- the other species nest underground or in wood. How these Australian rhinotermitids- in the genus Coptotermes- acquired the ability to build mounds has not been studied, nor has the time of their arrival in Australia or how they diversified there. Little is known also about the colony and population structure of many species in the Australian Rhinotermitidae. This thesis describes the use of several different methods to address the issues above. I conducted a mitochondrial and nuclear molecular phylogenetic analysis, including all Australian species of Coptotermes as well as members of the genus from around the world to estimate the timing and pattern of diversification in this group. Using environmental niche analysis software, I estimated the environmental niches of all Australian Coptotermes and compared them to determine environmental influences on the evolution of moundbuilding behaviour in this group and to analyse patterns of diversification in the group over evolutionary time. Having found two divergent genetic lineages among the Australian Coptotermes, I described two new species from Queensland and Western Australia based on morphological and molecular data. I performed the first investigation of colony and population structure in the Australian pest rhinotermitid Schedorhinotermes intermedius, using five microsatellites markers I discovered, and I also tested one hypothesis concerning the presence of all-female workers and soldiers in this species. Finally, we investigated the role of juvenile hormone analogues in inducing the differentiation of presoldiers in Coptotermes lacteus, S. intermedius, and Mastotermes darwiniensis. My project shows that the Australian Coptotermes termites arrived in Australia from South- East Asia about 12.5 million years ago and rapidly diversified, adapting to newly developing environments very different to those in which their ancestors existed. I found that the Australian Coptotermes’ niches diverged rapidly and that the degree of niche similarity between taxa was uncorrelated with their degree of phylogenetic relatedness. I also found that the Australian mound-building Coptotermes live in significantly different ecological niches from one another. My project also adds two new species to the known Australian Coptotermes fauna- C. cooloolae and C. nanus- and provides evidence that there are yet more species undiscovered in this group. This project also confirms genetically that S. intermedius colonies are usually headed by a single king and queen, with some being headed by secondary reproductives. I was able to rule out parthenogenesis as a mechanism maintaining its strongly biased sex ratio. Finally, this project demonstrated that C. lacteus and S. intermedius workers can be induced to differentiate into presoldiers using juvenile hormone analogues Hydroprene and Methoprene, with the former much more readily differentiating than the latter. This study furthers our understanding of the Australian termite fauna. My work contributes to the discussion of the systematics of the Australian Rhinotermitidae, our understanding of their evolution and colony dynamics.

Abstract:
The kingdom Fungi is taxonomically and ecologically diverse, containing an estimated 1.5 million species. Fungi include decomposers, pathogens, and plant and animal mutualists. Many fungi are microorganisms, and the processes shaping microbial diversity may be fundamentally different from those that shape plants and animals. However, ecologists do not yet fully understand how fungal species are distributed over space and time. Using fungi that inhabit the water of Sarracenia carnivorous pitchers, I describe inter and intraspecific fungal diversity and investigate the processes that shape fungal diversity. I introduce these concepts in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, I describe changes in fungal species diversity over space and time. I enumerated fungal species in five Sarracenia populations across the United States and Canada, and show that thousands, but not hundreds of kilometers separate distinct fungal communities. I also sampled a single Sarracenia population over a Sarracenia growing season, and found that young fungal communities are significantly different from older fungal communities. Observed patterns correlate with environmental factors including temperature and pitcher pH, and with the presence or population structure of pitcher inhabiting arthropods. In Chapter 3, I describe dispersal of and competition among three common pitcher fungi. I tracked Candida glaebosa, Rhodotorula glutinis, and Pseudozyma aphidis appearances in pitchers in a single Sarracenia population, and show that different appearances reflect different dispersal times. I also describe interactions between dispersal and competition in microcosms: high numbers of propagules introduced into a microcosm give a competitive advantage to investigated fungi. In Chapter 4, I describe changes in genotype composition of a population of Candida glaebosa, which is widespread and abundant in pitchers, and disperses early in the season. I observed three C. glaebosa populations in five locations; C. glaebosa population structure does not reflect broader community structure as described in Chapter 2. Population structure instead correlates with host taxonomy, and I contrast inter and intraspecific diversity patterns and the processes that potentially cause such patterns.

Abstract:
The fungal microbiome, or “mycobiome” of plants is diverse and important to host health, but the fluxes of fungi among plant hosts and with the surrounding environment are poorly understood. In chapter two, we employed sterile culture techniques and spatial sampling to examine leaves as possible vectors for transfer of their endophytic fungi from the canopy to substrate on the forest floor, as predicted by the Foraging Ascomycete hypothesis. Some foliar endophytic fungal species are also present as wood-decomposing fungi on the forest floor, that transfer of mycelium across these two life history stages can occur, that endophytic life history stages are buffered from environmental conditions in comparison to wood-decomposing fungi, and that spatial linkages between the two life history stages can be observed. In another study, described in chapter 3, wood and leaf wood endophytes were sampled across a 25 ha plot, to explore landscape patterns of mycobiomes, and to explore the concept of a core microbiome in aerial plant tissues. We found that core microbiomes may be observed in a real ecological setting, but that the concept of core must be carefully defined and that some level of buffering from disturbance may be necessary to allow core microbiomes to assemble. In chapter four, we return to examine some of the assumptions and implications of the Foraging Ascomycete hypothesis, with an agent-based model. We model the conditions under which dispersal through falling leaves may represent a fitness-enhancing dispersal strategy for fungi, and that deforestation as is currently underway throughout the world may have impacts on fungi that rely upon a canopy- inhabiting life stage for dispersal. In chapter five, some challenges associated with environmental sampling of microbes using illumina© MiSeq sequences are critically examined. We find that biases introduced by random sampling at various stages of IVenvironmental DNA extraction and illumina© MiSeq sequencing are not well corrected by currently accepted bioinformatic algorithms. In addition, information loss from differential extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing success, requires that users of MiSeq read libraries to interpret read abundances carefully. This dissertation includes previously published, co-authored material.

Full text
Abstract:
The Labrador Sea is a high latitude sea of the sub-Arctic region known to be an important oceanic sink for atmospheric CO2 due to intensive convective mixing during winter and the development of extensive phytoplankton blooms that occur during spring and summer. Therefore, a broad-scale investigation of the response of phytoplankton community composition to environmental forcing is essential for understanding planktonic food-web organization and biogeochemical functioning in the Labrador Sea. The aim of the research included in this thesis is to investigate the biogeographical and biochemical aspects of phytoplankton communities resulting from the contrasting hydrographical zones that divide the Labrador Sea into distinct ecological provinces. In Chapter 2, the phytoplankton community structure from near surface waters during spring and early summer (2011 to 2014) was investigated in detail, including species composition and environmental controls. This initial results demonstrated that the Labrador Sea spring and early summer blooms were composed of contrasting phytoplankton communities, for which taxonomic segregation appeared to be controlled by the physical and chemical characteristics of the dominant water masses. In Chapter 3, further work included an investigation of spring phytoplankton communities from surface waters of the Labrador Sea using pigment-based data and CHEMTAX analysis over ten-years (2005-2014). The photophysiological parameters (derived from photosynthesis-irradiance curves) and biochemical (particulate organic carbon to nitrogen ratio (POC:PON)) values differed among distinct phytoplankton communities. These results have provided a baseline of current distributions and an evaluation of the biogeochemical role of spring phytoplankton communities in the Labrador Sea, which will improve our understanding of potential long-term responses of phytoplankton communities in high-latitude oceans to a changing climate. In Chapter 4, potential indicator phytoplankton species of Atlantic and Arctic waters were investigated during spring in the Labrador Sea to identify possible functional traits driving biogeography. Future implications in trait biogeography and species distributions under a global warming scenario are discussed. In Chapter 5, a synthesis of the main findings of each result Chapter is included, in addition to schematic representation of the environmental controls on phytoplankton communities and species/classes succession from May to June in the Labrador Sea. Work that would increment our knowledge of phytoplankton from the Labrador Sea is suggested together with a final conclusion.

Full text
Abstract:
As one of the most diverse and ecologically important clades of life, fungi are best known as pathogens, saprotrophs, mycorrhizae, and lichens. Yet an enormous amount of previously unknown diversity occurs among endophytic and endolichenic fungi--species-rich, horizontally transmitted fungi that live within asymptomatic photosynthetic structures such as leaves and lichens. Here, I explore the biodiversity of these understudied symbiotrophs and the ecological and biogeographic factors influencing their communities.To evaluate methods currently used in ecological studies of environmental samples of fungi, I assessed inter- and intraspecific divergence of a fast-evolving locus for four genera commonly found as endophytes, and compared analytical methods for identifying and delimiting OTUs. Then I used the most robust methods to show that after soil contact, seeds of a focal tree species contain diverse fungi that are closely related to endophytes and pathogens.To explore the ecological specificity of symbiotrophic fungi, I examined endophytic, endolichenic, and saprotrophic communities inhabiting physically proximate hosts in a biotically rich area of southeastern Arizona. I found that endolichenic fungi are largely distinct from plant-associated fungi, with the exception of a group of ecologically flexible symbionts that occur in lichens and mosses. Although numerous endophytes were found in non-living leaves, fungi that were highly abundant in leaf litter were seldom found as endophytes.To assess symbiotroph biodiversity and ecological specificity at a broad geographic and phylogenetic scale, I isolated>4100 endophytic and endolichenic fungi from diverse communities of plants and lichens across five climatic regions in North America. I found that the abundance, diversity, and composition of these nearly ubiquitous fungi differ as a function of climate, locality, and host. Differences among communities reflect environmental characteristics more strongly than geographic distance.Last, I addressed a series of hypotheses regarding the ecological specificity of fungi inhabiting living and non-living leaves. I show that like endophytes, saprotrophic communities are structured by environmental characteristics, and at small spatial scales by host and leaf status. Yet, differences in communities between living leaves and leaf litter suggest that most endophytes either rapidly complete their life-cycle or are out-competed by robust saprotrophs once leaves senesce.

Abstract:
Regional climate changes impacts induce vegetation zones shift to higher altitudes in temperate landscape. This paper deals with applying of regional biogeography model of climate conditions for vegetation zones in Czechia to doctoral programme Regional Geography in Palacky University Olomouc. The model is based on general knowledge of landscape vegetation zonation. Climate data for model come from predicted validated climate database under RCP8.5 scenario since 2100. Ecological data are included in the Biogeography Register database (geobiocoenological data related to landscape for cadastral areas of the Czech Republic). Mathematical principles of modelling are based on set of software solutions with GIS. Students use the model in the frame of the course “Special Approaches to Landscape Research” not only for regional scenarios climate change impacts in landscape scale, but also for assessment of climate conditions for growing capability of agricultural crops or forest trees under climate change on regional level.

Abstract:
Channel Islands National Park (CHIS) has conducted long-term ecological monitoring of the kelp forests around San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands since 1982. The original permanent transects were established at 16 sites between 1981 and 1986 with the first sampling beginning in 1982, this being the 33rd year of monitoring. An additional site, Miracle Mile, was established at San Miguel Island in 2001 by a commercial fisherman with assistance from the park. Miracle Mile was partially monitored from 2002 to 2004, and then fully monitored (using all KFM protocols) since 2005. In 2005, 16 additional permanent sites were established to collect baseline data from inside and adjacent to four marine reserves that were established in 2003. Sampling results from all 33 sites mentioned above are included in this report. Funding for the Kelp Forest Monitoring Program (KFM) in 2014 was provided by the National Park Service (NPS). The 2014 monitoring efforts utilized 49 days of vessel time to conduct 1,040 dives for a total of 1,059 hours of bottom time. Population dynamics of a select list of 71 “indicator species” (consisting of taxa or categories of algae, fish, and invertebrates) were measured at the 33 permanent sites. In addition, population dynamics were measured for all additional species of fish observed at the sites during the roving diver fish count. Survey techniques follow the CHIS Kelp Forest Monitoring Protocol Handbook (Davis et al. 1997) and an update to the sampling protocol handbook currently being developed (Kushner and Sprague, in progress). The techniques utilize SCUBA and surface-supplied-air to conduct the following monitoring protocols: 1 m2 quadrats, 5 m2 quadrats, band transects, random point contacts, fish transects, roving diver fish counts, video transects, size frequency measurements, and artificial recruitment modules. Hourly temperature data were collected using remote temperature loggers at 32 sites, the exception being Miracle Mile where there is no temperature logger installed. This annual report contains a brief description of each site including any notable observations or anomalies, a summary of methods used, and monitoring results for 2014. All the data collected during 2014 can be found in the appendices and in an Excel workbook on the NPS Integrated Resource Management Applications (IRMA) portal. In the 2013 annual report (Sprague et al. 2020) several changes were made to the appendices. Previously, annual report density and percent cover data tables only included the current year’s data. Now, density and percent cover data are presented in graphical format and include all years of available monitoring data. Roving diver fish count (RDFC), fish size frequency, natural habitat size frequency, and Artificial Recruitment Module (ARM) size frequency data are now stored on IRMA at https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2259651. The temperature data graphs in Appendix L include the same graphs that were used in past reports, but include additional violin plot sections that compare monthly means from the current year to past years. In addition to the changes listed above, the layout of the discussion section was reordered by species instead of by site. The status of kelp forests differed among the five park islands. This is a result of a combination of factors including but not limited to, oceanography, biogeography and associated differences in species abundance and composition, as well as sport and commercial fishing pressure. All 33 permanent sites were established in areas that had or were historically known to have had kelp forests in the past. In 2014, 15 of the 33 sites monitored were characterized as developing kelp forest, kelp forest or mature kelp forest. In addition, three sites were in a state of transition. Two sites were part kelp forest and part dominated by Strongylocentrotus purpuratus...
