Abstract:
... Bacterial communities in sediments underneath milkfish cages and adjacent off‐cage areas in Bolinao, Lingayen Gulf, West Philippine Sea were characterized using PCR‐denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to assess influence of the fish farming to the sediments. The sediments in the fish cage (FC) area showed anoxic conditions [redox potential of −165 to −213 mV and acid‐volatile sulphide‐sulphur ...

Abstract:
... Predatory control of community structure, through consumption of herbivores and subsequent positive effects on the biomass or productivity of primary producers is common in marine ecosystems. We designed an experiment to analyse the effect of large-sized predators on the development of the macrofouling assemblage of a harbour. Predation was manipulated by randomly assigning artificial substrata to ...

Caprella; Posidonia oceanica; biomass; cages; community structure; meadows; predation; predatory fish
Abstract:
... Amphipod assemblages that inhabit Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows are potentially relevant trophic resources for ichthyofauna. However, the effects of fish predation on amphipod assemblages in this system have received little attention. To address this gap in knowledge, experimental manipulations of predation intensity (exclusion and inclusion cages) were conducted at two sites in a Mediterran ...

4. Experimental parasite community ecology: intraspecific variation in a large tapeworm affects community assembly

Abstract:
... Non‐random species associations occur in naturally sampled parasite communities. The processes resulting in predictable community structure (e.g. particular host behaviours, cross‐immunity, interspecific competition) could be affected by traits that vary within a parasite species, like growth or antigenicity. We experimentally infected three‐spined sticklebacks with a large tapeworm (Schistocephal ...

Abstract:
... The recruitment of seedlings from seeds is the key demographic transition for rain forest trees. Though tropical forest mammals are known to consume many seeds, their effects on tree community structure remain little known. To evaluate their effects, we monitored 8,000 seeds of 24 tree species using exclosure cages that were selectively permeable to three size classes of mammals for up to 4.4 year ...

Abstract:
... Expanding populations of the piscivorous seabird Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) in the Baltic Sea can have both bottom-up and top-down effects on lower trophic levels: nutrient runoff (bottom-up) from colonies increases algal growth, while predation on fish (top-down) can lead to decreased fish populations around colonies, potentially causing a trophic cascade and higher grazing pr ...

Abstract:
... While the importance of top‐down control by grazers in maintaining tropical reef community structure is well known, the effect of ‘fishing down the food web’, which simultaneously changes the abundance and size of herbivorous fishes, has received less attention. As many fishing practices target the biggest fish and regulations often set minimum size limits, understanding size‐dependency of this co ...

Abstract:
... Eukaryotes commonly host communities of heritable symbiotic bacteria, many of which are not essential for their hosts' survival and reproduction. There is laboratory evidence that these facultative symbionts can provide useful adaptations, such as increased resistance to natural enemies. However, we do not know how symbionts affect host fitness when the latter are subject to attack by a natural su ...
