Coral reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems. They teem with life, with perhaps one-quarter of all ocean species depending on reefs for food and shelter. This is a remarkable statistic when you consider that reefs cover just a tiny fraction (less than one percent) of the earth’s surface and less than two percent of the ocean ...
Qilianyu Islands coral reefs (QICR), located in the northeastern part of the South China Sea, has been affected by human activities and natural disturbance. To characterize the trophic structure, ecosystem properties and keystone species of this region, a food-web model for the QICR is developed using methods involving a mass-balance approach with Ecopath with Ecosim software. Trophic levels ...
19 de ago. de 2012 · Bioerosion is an important limiting factor in carbonate accretion and reef framework development; however, few studies have quantified the direct impact of macroborers on high-latitude coral communities, which are viewed as potential refuge during a period of global warming. In this study, internal macrobioerosion of Porites corals was examined at Daya Bay, subtropical northern South China Sea ...
Food webs represent one of the most complex aspects of community biotic interactions. Complex food webs are represented as networks of interspecific interactions, where nodes represent species or groups of species, and links are predator-prey interactions. This paper presents reconstructions of coral reef food webs in three Greater Antillean regions of the Caribbean: the Cayman Islands, Cuba ...
14 de jul. de 2016 · Coral reefs are an ecosystem that supports millions of different creatures. A coral reef food web is so complex, it’s better to think of it as a food web – a network of food chains – that tells a story about the interdependence of all the animals and plants that live in the reef. To learn more, check out our online coral reef ecology ...
3 de abr. de 2024 · That doesn’t mean, however, it should be ignored because the results we both had were quite impressive. Benereef is best used as a multi-target coral food in reef aquariums that have multiple coral types and filter-feeding organisms. The goal with Benereef is to target the entire tank.
25 de oct. de 2021 · We studied the food web structure and functioning of a coral reef ecosystem in the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, characterized by low coral cover, high sea surface temperature and meso- to ...
