Abstract:

I examined the relations between habitat structure, population variability and patterns of microhabitat use by demographic classes (sex, age, residency) in the rock mouse in southern Durango, Mexico. I also examined individual and population responses to experimental changes in food abundance, and the consequences for the prevalence of botfly parasitism. I used a gradient of habitats in manzanita-oak shrubland to analyze demographic variability and microhabitat use patterns. If demographic parameters of habitat specialists are closely associated with habitat structure, I expected populations

Abstract:

Lateral habitats provide a multitude of benefits to riverine fishes, including invasive Silver Carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix) and Bighead Carp (H. nobilis), hereafter bigheaded carp. Harvesters have focused removal efforts in lateral habitats (e.g., backwaters and side channels); however, little research has examined the lateral habitat use of bighead carps. The Starved Rock Pool (SRP) is the downstream most pool in the upper Illinois River where contracted commercial fishermen target bigheaded carp to reduce dispersal pressure towards the Laurentian Great Lakes.

Abstract:

The black-flanked rock-wallaby (Petrogale lateralis lateralis) has suffered a significant decline in its distribution in Western Australia. This has been attributed to introduced predators (predominantly the red fox) and herbivores, fire, and habitat destruction due to clearing. Although since 2001 the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) had begun to reintroduce this species back into its former range, little was known of the behavioural ecology of this species. Fox control in the 1980s and 1990s resulted in population increases of rock-wallabies on several reserves in the central

Abstract:

Micro-organisms are the most abundant and diverse form of life on Earth. Their ability to tolerate stress has enabled them to colonise many inhospitable environments. Microbial processes alter the chemistry of the environment which has left a lasting mark on the geological record. On the other hand, microbial life is heavily influenced by environmental conditions. Indeed, the history of the Earth is shaped by the co-evolution of microbial and geological processes. This thesis explores how micro-organisms are influenced by their environment, with particular reference to microbial rock habitats.

Abstract:

Since 1880 air temperature at global scale rapidly increased of c. 0.85 °C likely due to the increasing amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gas, and is forecast to increase over the 21st century as well. Cold-adapted species of the high latitude/altitude are the first to be threatened by such climate change, due to the progressive reduction of their suitable areas. Microclimatic heterogeneity at landscape level is supposed to play a key role in this scenario providing warm-stage refugia, sites able to preserve suitable climate conditions for cold-adapted species in spite of the ongoing climate

Previous psychological research has demonstrated the benefits of visiting natural environments, especially coastal areas. However, research within Marine Biology has shown that such visits can harm natural habitats.

This was investigated using seven studies that involved a range of methods. Perception-based surveys (Studies 1 & 2) explored the perceived impacts on the visitor, and

Rooks (Corvus frugilegus) are colonially breeding corvids found in most agricultural landscapes. Colonies in the County Durham area tend to be clustered at distances up to 500 m, but otherwise show little pattern in terms of spacing or size. Colony size was comparable between sites as changes in colony nest counts were allowed to stabilise before the whole area was surveyed. When measuring nest build-up at a sample of colonies in 1996, no further significant increases occurred after 9th April. The spatial size distribution of colonies was maintained between years.

The following chapters presented here use modern ecological data and modern marine systems to evaluate past marine depositional settings and the preservation potential of various environments in the geological record. While the chapters in this dissertation vary in terms of study area, sedimentary systems (carbonate vs. siliciclastic), depositional environment, and organisms, all projects are based on developing and using quantitative models to evaluate the present as a means for understanding the past. Chapter one focuses on the preservation potential of rocky intertidal environments.

Abstract:

A single-beam acoustic seabed classification system was used to map coral reef environments in the upper Florida Keys, USA, and the Bahamas. The system consisted of two components, both produced by the Quester Tangent Corporation. A QTCView Series V, operating with a 50 kHz sounder, was used for data acquisition, and IMPACT software was used for data processing and classification. First, methodological aspects of system performance were evaluated. Second, the system was applied to the assessment of grouper and snapper habitat. Two methodological properties were explored: transferability (i.e.

Abstract:

Projetos de monitoramento de longo prazo estão sendo desenvolvidos internacionalmente a fim de monitorar continuamente os impactos que as mudanças climáticas globais vêm gerando nas comunidades marinhas bentônicas, entretanto, no âmbito nacional, há uma carência desse tipo de estudo e dados para a costa brasileira. O objetivo do presente estudo foi a instalação de uma estação de monitoramento de longo prazo, bem como a caracterização da comunidade bentônica presente no médiolitoral do costão rochoso à direita da Enseada de Palmas, no Parque Estadual da Ilha Anchieta (Ubatuba, SP) seguindo as d

Abstract:

Les activités humaines, de loisir et professionnelles, vont en s'intensifiant sur les zones rocheuses intertidales. Le piétinement associé à ces activités, le remaniement des blocs pour rechercher des espèces consommables, ne sont pas sans incidence sur les biocénoses des milieux rocheux. Les conséquences de ces activités sur la structure et la dynamique des roches du médiolittoral et des champs de blocs de bas d'estran en particulier, nécessitent d'être caractérisées. A travers l'identification des espèces et descripteurs qui répondent le plus aux perturbations "piétinement des platiers roche

Abstract:

La distribution d'espèces benthiques intertidales est contrainte par l'océanographie côtière. On connaît moins les effets sur l'écologie des prédateurs. Les côtes sud de l'Afrique sont caractérisées par des contrastes de production primaire et d'assemblages intertidaux dus aux deux courants majeurs qui les longent. Le prédateur apical de ces côtes est un oiseau limicole endémique, l'huîtrier noir africain (Haematopus moquini), qui présente un polymorphisme favorable à la spécialisation alimentaire. Ces travaux ont étudié l'effet des variations spatiales de structure de communautés benthiques s
