Reducing consumer pressure increases community dissimilarity leading to coral‐ or algal‐dominance on a coral reef

Kelly E. Speare, Thomas C. Adam, Allison Aplin, Noe Castañeda et autres

Abstract In many ecosystems, anthropogenic influences are altering the strength of top‐down (e.g., herbivory and predation by consumers) and bottom‐up (e.g., nutrients) processes through the exploitation of consumers and increasing anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Altered top‐down and bottom‐up processes may significantly change ecological …

Status and trends of giant clam populations demonstrate the effectiveness of village-based protection in American Sāmoa

Paolo Marra‐Biggs, Eric K. Brown, Domingo Ochavillo, Alison L. Green et autres

Giant clams (subfamily Tridacninae) serve diverse ecological functions in coral reef ecosystems but have experienced severe populatiaon declines across much of their native ranges. Continued overharvesting, habitat degradation, and climate change impacts reinforce the need for updated population assessments and have prompted …

Terrigenous inputs link nutrient dynamics to microbial communities in a tropical lagoon

Christian John, Nyssa J. Silbiger, Thomas C. Adam, Danielle M. Barnas et autres

Abstract Nutrient availability drives community structure and ecosystem processes, especially in tropical lagoons that are typically oligotrophic but often receive allochthonous inputs from land. Terrestrially derived nutrients are introduced to tropical lagoons by surface runoff and submarine groundwater discharge, which are influenced …
