SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN SPECIES COMPOSITION IN NEOTROPICAL MONTANE TREE COMMUNITIES
… characteristics, diversity, and floristic composition across the elevational gradient and at tree line. Thirty –six 0.1–ha tree plots were installed (1) along three different elevational transects in tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) between 1500 and 3600 m and (2) across a …

Using Plant Functional Traits to Estimate Prairie Restoration Species Composition
… data that may facilitate the prediction of plant species composition from species functional traits in different ages of prairie restorations. The inexpensive and diverse nature of Maxent makes it advantageous to restoration managers allowing them to manage expenditures in the field. Maxent …

CHARACTERIZING PATTERNS IN TEXAS GULF COAST BEACH DUNE PLANT SPECIES COMPOSITION
… percent bare sand, percent vegetative cover, and species richness. Cluster Analysis, ANOSIM, and SIMPER results indicate that Texas beaches can be divided into northern and southern regions based on differences in species composition of plant communities. Indicator Species Analysis (ISA) indicates …

Patterns of temporal changes in species composition and diversity in island ecosystems
… since there is an increasing awareness that species’ traits influence species coexistence and ecosystem function. Ecologists now quantify trait variation or multivariate trait differences within a community, generally referred to as ‘functional diversity’ (FD). This diversity facet …

Diversity, species composition and distribution of odonates (odonata) in Johor state, peninsular Malaysia
… this research are to determine the diversity and species composition of odonates in selected sites in Johor, to map distribution pattern based on faunistic and ecological aspects and to identify identify prioritize conservation areas and potential sites for odonate tourism using priority grid …

Exploring the relationship between restored ecosystem function and species composition: a meta-analysis
… former ecosystem functioning as well as specific species assemblages, not just biodiversity. In many cases monitoring programmes lack funds to measure all these aspects and often assume relationships between these variables; however, these relationships remain largely untested. In this thesis, I …

Mob stocking effects on herbage nutritive value, herbage accumulation, and plant species composition
… (2) compare the abundance of seeded clover species among the stocking methods; and (3) estimate the nutritional value of herbage that is consumed by beef cattle during mob stocking using extrusa sampled from esophageally-cannulated animals. Analysis of standing herbage during two years …

Fish species composition, fish sizes and diversity in the Kamutjonga floodplain, Kavango river, Namibia
… aims to provide information on the fish species composition, fish sizes and species diversity in the Kavango River’s Kamutjonga floodplain as a basis to provide management advice to ensure the sustainable use of the fisheries. The fish species composition and relative abundance were …

Phytoplankton Abundance and Species Composition in Relation to Environmental Paramenters in Coastal Mississippi Waters
… the spatial and temporal distributions and composition of phytoplankton communities. Concentration of phytoplankton pigments were analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and the compositional changes in phytoplankton communities were determined with CHEMTAX 1.95. Surface …

Perch Selection by Male Dragonflies (Odonata, Anisoptera) Related to Competitive Ability and Species Composition
<p>Males of many species of dragonflies (Odonata, Anisoptera) establish territories in aquatic habitats where they compete with other males for access to food and females. Territorial males typically perch on emergent vegetation and chase rival males who intrude into their territories. This …

Species composition and larval instar population structure of Scarabaeids in forestry in the Natal Midlands
… used to identify larvae as a particular morphospecies with the aid of the dissecting microscope. Head I capsule width pattern was used to determine the larval instars responsible for the damage. High incidences of seedling damage was recorded from December to April. Several morphospecies were …

Species Composition and Spatial Ecology of Amazonian Understory Mixed-Species Flocks in a Fragmented Landscape
… and roads. Conservation, however must take species interactions into consideration as they play a pivotal part the maintenance of several biological processes in the tropics. One of the most conspicuous interspecific interactions are seen in mixed-species flocks of birds, which in the …

Characterization of Vascular Plant Species Composition and Relative Abundance in Southern Appalachian Mixed-Oak Forests
… address questions concerning the variability in species composition, richness, and relative abundance of vascular plant species in those communities. All forest strata were sampled using a nested plot design. Variability in species richness and species composition was found to be high. Total …

Bycatch associated with a horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) trawl survey: identifying species composition and distribution
… Plan (FMP) was only recently created for this species. To date, there have not been any studies that have attempted to identify or quantify bycatch in the horseshoe crab trawl fishery. A horseshoe crab trawl survey was started in 2001 to collect data on the relative abundance, distribution, and …

Contribution of crop morphological characteristics and density of selected crops to weed species composition and suppression
… growing season to investigate the effect of crop species and sowing density on weed dynamics, productivity and species composition. Crops with a spreading (narrow-leafed lupin, Lupimus augustifolius and dwarf French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris), rosette (turnip, Brassica campestris and forage rape, …
