Resource Partitioning in Two Coexisting Sunfish: Pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) and Northern Longear Sunfish (Lepomis megalotis peltastes)
TL;DR: Data from underwater transects indicated that large (> 75 mm standard length) longear sunfish occurred primarily in shallow regions containing moderate to low vegetation cover whereas large pumpkinseeds were concentrated in deeper areas with heavy vegetation cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metacommunity patterns in larval odonates
Shannon J. McCauley,Shannon J. McCauley,Christopher J. Davis,Rick A. Relyea,Kerry L. Yurewicz,David K. Skelly,Earl E. Werner +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the relative importance of these mechanisms may change across this habitat gradient and that a metacommunity perspective which incorporates both niche- and dispersal-assembly processes is necessary to understand how communities are organized.
Journal ArticleDOI
How dependent are species-pair interaction strengths on other species in the food web?
Scott D. Peacor,Earl E. Werner +1 more
TL;DR: The results strengthen previous claims that trait-mediated effects strongly influence species interactions and suggest that recent calls to quantify interaction strengths must be broadened to include examination of the variation in interaction strengths due to their dependence on densities of other species in food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competitive interactions between wood frog and northern leopard frog larvae : the influence of size and activity
TL;DR: The le Leopard frog was consistently more active than the wood frog; it is argued that this difference in activity contributes to the competitive superiority of the leopard frog in these experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental gradients and the structure of freshwater snail communities
Jason T. Hoverman,Christopher J. Davis,Earl E. Werner,David K. Skelly,Rick A. Relyea,Kerry L. Yurewicz +5 more
TL;DR: Heterogeneity in habitat conditions mediated species-sorting mechanism to drive patterns in snail species richness across sites, which suggests that niche-assembly mechanisms are more important than dispersal- assembly mechanisms for structuring local snail communities.
