Habitat restoration affects immature stages of a wetland butterfly through indirect effects on predation

ECOLOGY, 96(7), 1761–1767.

By: E. Aschehoug n, F. Sivakoff n, H. Cayton n, W. Morris * & N. Haddad n

author keywords: Appalachian Brown; butterfly; indirect effects; Neonympha mitchellii francisci; predation; restoration; Satyrodes appalachia; St; Francis' satyr
MeSH headings : Animals; Butterflies / classification; Butterflies / growth & development; Environmental Monitoring; Environmental Restoration and Remediation; Larva / physiology; Ovum; Predatory Behavior; Wetlands
TL;DR: The results emphasize the need for experiments that evaluate the demographic responses of imperiled species to habitat restoration prior to management action and quantify potential indirect effects mediated through higher trophic levels. (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 journal article

Point-count methods to monitor butterfly populations when traditional methods fail: a case study with Miami blue butterfly

JOURNAL OF INSECT CONSERVATION, 19(3), 519–529.

By: E. Henry n, N. Haddad  n, J. Wilson  n, P. Hughes * & B. Gardner n

author keywords: Conservation; Distance sampling; Subtropics; Endangered species
TL;DR: A novel use of point transect distance sampling is presented to monitor the Miami blue, a highly endangered butterfly that occupies dense shrub habitat, and the determinants of adult flight phenology are identified to target monitoring efforts during periods of high adult abundance.

Do growing degree days predict phenology across butterfly species?

ECOLOGY, 96(6), 1473–1479.

By: H. Cayton  n, N. Haddad  n, K. Gross n, S. Diamond * & L. Ries *

author keywords: climate change; first emergence; growing degree days; Lepidoptera; Ohio, USA; ordinal date; peak abundance; phenology; temperature
TL;DR: It is shown that GDD acts as a better predictor than date for first emergence in nearly all species, and for peak abundance in more than half of all Species with less ecological flexibility, especially univoltine species, had greater predictability with GDD. (via Semantic Scholar)

Bristle worms attack: benthic jellyfish are not trophic dead ends

FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, 13(4), 226–227.

By: E. Stoner* & C. Layman n

TL;DR: To date, the only documented predator of Cassiopea is a nudibranch – Dondice parguerensis – that occurs around Puerto Rico; this animal consumes only the oral arms, which can subsequently regenerate (Brandon and Cutress 1985). (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 journal article

Biogeochemical implications of biodiversity and community structure across multiple coastal ecosystems

ECOLOGICAL MONOGRAPHS, 85(1), 117–132.

By: J. Allgeier n, C. Layman n, P. Mumby * & A. Rosemond *

author keywords: consumer-driven nutrient recycling; coral reef; diversity; ecosystem function; fish; food web; mangrove; nitrogen; nutrient storage and supply; phosphorus; richness; seagrass
TL;DR: It is suggested that conserving community biomass alone may be sufficient to sustain certain biogeochem processes, but when considering conservation of multiple simultaneous biogeochemical processes, management efforts should focus first on species richness. (via Semantic Scholar)

A complex interaction between a sponge (Halichondria melanadocia) and a seagrass (Thalassia testudinum) in a subtropical coastal ecosystem

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 465, 33–40.

By: S. Archer n, E. Stoner* & C. Layman n

author keywords: Context dependence; Foundation species; Halichondria melanadocia; Nutrient flux; Species interactions; Thalassia testudinum
TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying the interaction between H. melanadocia and T. testudinum suggest that the interaction is likely context dependent, and environmental change has the potential to shift the nature of this interaction from commensal to parasitic. (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 review

Size, sex and individual-level behaviour drive intrapopulation variation in cross-ecosystem foraging of a top-predator

[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY, 84(1), 35–48.

By: J. Nifong*, C. Layman n & B. Silliman *

author keywords: Alligator mississippiensis; crocodilian; diet; ecosystem connectivity; estuary; food web; individual specialization; trophic coupling
MeSH headings : Alligators and Crocodiles / growth & development; Alligators and Crocodiles / physiology; Animals; Body Size; Diet; Ecosystem; Estuaries; Gastrointestinal Contents; Georgia; Islands; Predatory Behavior; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the importance of intrapopulation characteristics (body size, sex and individual specialization) as key determinants of the strength of predator-driven ecosystem connectivity resulting from cross-ecosystem foraging behaviours. (via Semantic Scholar)

Fish movement from nursery bays to coral reefs: a matter of size?

HYDROBIOLOGIA, 750(1), 89–101.

By: C. Huijbers *, I. Nagelkerken * & C. Layman n

author keywords: Acoustic telemetry; Connectivity; Food web; Nursery habitat; Ontogenetic movement; Mangrove; Stable isotopes
TL;DR: Stable isotope values of fin tissue from fish that showed reef-ward movements were similar to those of fish remaining in the bay, indicating that these movements were likely exploratory behavior as opposed to repeated feeding excursions. (via Semantic Scholar)
