Streszczenie:

Invertebrates influence primary productivity and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. They are also important links between producer and higher trophic levels. Despite their important role in terrestrial ecosystem function, invertebrates are frequently overlooked in ecological restorations. Thus, the objective of this research was to quantify how belowground macroinvertebrate ecosystem engineers and communities change over time following ecological restoration and examine whether the source of dominant plant species and the composition of non-dominant plant species influence aboveground macroinvert

Climate change is directly and indirectly impacting biota, A common prediction is that biogeographic ranges will extend poleward, with increases in abundance near the leading edge. Understanding how marine species will respond is hindered by a scarcity of long-term datasets. However, within the British Isles there is a long history of well-documented intertidal research. Historical data are stored in a variety of forms from grey-literature and national databases to published journals.

Recent theoretical and technological advances in ecosystem science have dramatically expanded the ways in which scientists can pursue and explore ecological questions. For my thesis research, I integrated the recent theoretical concept of organisms as ecosystem engineers with the relatively recent development of stable isotope tracer tests to ask the question: how does the invasive common carp affect stream ecosystem structure and function? To investigate the structuring role of carp, I measured autotroph seasonal distribution and abundance and macroinvertebrate seasonal abundance and diver

Pomacentridae is one of the most representative families of herbivorous fishes inhabiting both tropical and temperate reefs, yet the vast majority of studies examining feeding within this family have been undertaken in tropical rather than temperate regions. Despite the high abundances of the pomacentrid Parma mccullochi in temperate waters of Western Australia, and their likely importance in removing algae from reefs in the region, there is a lack of information on their diet and their impact on the reef algal community.

In arid landscapes limited resources are concentrated into fertile patches that allow greater productivity than would otherwise be expected. Fertile patches are created and maintained by processes that modify soil topography and interrupt the flow of resources across the landscape. These processes may be abiotic or biotic in origin. Species that modify, maintain or create habitat have been termed ecosystem engineers. One group of soil disturbing ecosystem engineers creates fertile patches by modifying soil microtopography through foraging for food and creating habitat. This thesis examines the

Species which play particularly important roles in ecosystem patterns and processes are recognised as keystone species or ecosystem engineers.

The modifications animals make to their environments can be critical to species diversity.

Beavers have been described as a “keystone species” and “ecosystem engineers”, and in this dual role have great potential to physically modify their environment through tree-felling, foraging and construction activities. The resultant change in habitat heterogeneity can affect the flora and fauna that share the habitat with them. There has been recent interest in reintroducing the Eurasian beaver to the United Kingdom after an absence of over 400 years.

Orientador: Gustavo Quevedo Romero<br>Banca: Martin Francisco Pareja<br>Banca: Thiago Junqueira Izzo<br>Resumo: Engenharia dos ecossistemas é um processo em que organismos modificam a distribuição de recursos (i.e, disponibilizando novos habitats) para outras espécies via interação não trófica. Lagartas de Lepidoptera enroladoras de folhas podem atuar como engenheiros dos ecossistemas florestais, uma vez que são capazes de modular interações entre comunidade artrópode - planta fornecendo aos colonizadores secundários diversos tipos de benefícios. Essas lagartas quando engenheiras influenciam o

A study of Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea Müller) colonization in relation to changes in aquatic vegetation community as a result of management of Hydrilla verticillata (L. f.) Royle with grass carp was conducted at the Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem Research Facility (LAERF), Lewisville, TX, from April 2015 through October 2016. Percent vegetation cover, C. fluminea abundance and water quality metrics (pH, turbidity, conductivity, DO, calcium, chlorophyll a) from 16 experimental subjects were analyzed. Treatments included four replicated grass carp stocking densities; 1-control with no fish sto

Streszczenie:

Termites are important ecosystem engineers in tropical and sub-tropical terrestrial regions where they influence ecosystem processes by altering the physical and chemical structure of the habitat. Termites affect nutrient availability by decomposition and comminution (shredding) of organic matter and act as agents of bioturbation as they re-work substrates during the construction of nests, tunnels and runways. At present we have a relatively good understanding of termite diversity patterns in the tropics through the extensive use of the standardised transect sampling protocol by Eggleton et al

A introdução de espécies não-indígenas começou a ser comum no início do século XX devido ao grande aumento do tráfego marítimo decorrente da globalização. Regra-geral, a introdução de novas espécies não é propositada. Grande parte dos indivíduos pioneiros são transportados em águas de lastro ou viajam encrustados em navios transoceânicos.

Streszczenie:

Ecosystem engineers can govern ecosystem dynamics, yet ecosystem consequences of trait variation within engineering species are often overlooked. Combining field and greenhouse experiments with mathematical modelling, this study aimed to assess the relative importance of heritable and non-heritable trait variation within the engineer species Spartina alterniflora in controlling salt marsh erosion. In the field experiment, plots along a devegetated shoreline were restored with wild and cultivated sources to test whether populations exerted different control on erosion. The greenhouse experiment

Streszczenie:

Low species diversity in the Arctic promotes strong food-web linkages, as changes in abundance of one species may influence many others. Using harvest records, I determined Arctic fox populations are declining in their southern distributional range due to shallower snow potentially limiting density of lemmings, their primary prey, which live and breed beneath snow. Additionally, warm fall and spring temperatures are shortening access to alternative prey, seals on sea ice. Arctic foxes also influence other species through non-trophic interactions, as lemming winter nests were found on 70% of f
