Journal ArticleDOI

Neutral communities may lead to decreasing diversity-disturbance relationships: insights from a generic simulation model

Francisca Ana Soares dos Santos, +2 more
- 01 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: A spatially explicit, individual-based community model that simulates species coexistence in a landscape subjected to disturbances is used to compare diversity-disturbance curves of communities with different coexistence mechanisms: neutrality, trade-off mechanism and intraspecific density dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term socio-ecological research (LTSER) for biodiversity protection – A complex systems approach for the study of dynamic human–nature interactions

Cornelia Ohl, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how LTER could meet the challenges of the future: the increase of knowledge on issues of biological diversity and of partnership approaches among the natural and social sciences in common research facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and Disturbances in the Antarctic Megabenthos: Feasible versus Theoretical Disturbance Ranges

Karin Johst, +3 more
- 17 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) predicts a hump-shaped relationship between regional diversity and the disturbance rate in megabenthos inhabiting the Antarctic sea floor, which is disturbed by iceberg scouring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metapopulation mean life time within complex networks

Stuart Kininmonth, +3 more
- 04 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: A graph-theoretical framework for analysing the dispersal network is provided and this model is applied to the small-world network of the Great Barrier Reef as well as to conservation planning in general.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid viability analysis for metapopulations in dynamic habitat networks

Martin Drechsler, +1 more
- 22 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: An analytical formula is provided for the mean lifetime of species in fragmented and dynamic habitat networks where habitat patches may be destroyed and created elsewhere and can be used for the optimization of spatio-temporal land-use patterns in real landscapes.
