Predation and secondary foundation species play crucial roles in structuring sessile mangrove prop root communities. However, their relative importance and their interactions across biogeographic gradients remain poorly understood. This study investigated the impact of predation and secondary foundation species on mangrove prop root epibiont assemblages along a latitudinal gradient in Florida. Predator exclusion treatments wer...

Whilst flow is often seen simplistically as a measurable and manageable variable in rivers, the habitat value of flow is delivered by interactions with channel morphology and substrate. The resulting hydromorphology impacts on all salmonid life stages; its proper understanding requires integration between the sciences of hydrology/hydraulics, geomorphology and freshwater ecology, but this integration is scarce. This study desc...

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1041–1054 Abstract Two major approaches address the need to predict species distributions in response to environmental changes. Correlative models estimate parameters phenomenologically by relating current distributions to environmental conditions. By contrast, mechanistic models incorporate explicit relationships between environmental conditions and organismal performance, estimated independently of...
