Compte, Ciurana Jordi. "Food webs of Mediterranean coastal wetlands." Doctoral thesis, Universitat de Girona, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/7879.
Full textIn this PhD, direct and indirect effects of key species were studied in the aquatic community of the Empordà wetlands (Mediterranean coastal wetlands with a simple food web). Different field experiments were carried out using microcosms and mesocosms. To analyze the results, three approaches were used: taxonomic, functional and size-based. Results obtained from the experiments confirm that, in situation with absence of predator and dominance of single zooplanktonic specie (in this case Calanipeda aquaedulcis and Daphnia magna), resource partitioning among different developmental stages of same zooplanktonic specie is a strategy to reduce the intraespecific competence when the resource is limiting. On the other hand, the presence of different top-predators in aquatic community (in this case the jellyfish Odessia maeotica and the Iberian toothcarp Aphanius iberus) triggers a trophic cascade in plankton, however they have different top-down effects according to top-predator.

Full textEcological models have problems showing the positive relationship between diversity and stability found in nature. Theory states that complex food webs have high extinction risks and low stability. However, persistent food webs found in nature are large and complex containing many interconnections between species. There are many possible mechanisms enabling persistent food webs such as; complex interaction patterns, asynchronous fluctuations of species densities, environmental fluctuations and spatial distribution. These factors have not been used in classical models. In this study, coloured environmental 1/f noise and dispersal between subpopulations were incorporated into a diamond shaped food web based on a model by Vasseur and Fox 2007. Contradictions between theoretical and empirical results regarding food webs can be resolved by detailed analyses of models, withholding stabilizing mechanisms. Weak environmental 1/f noise generated an increased coefficient of stability but the stabilizing effect of noise can be questioned because of a decreased mean food web biomass and reduced stabilizing effect when reddened. However, detailed studies of the food web revealed that noise can redistribute density proportions between species, evading lowest species density and thereby increase food web resistance to demographic stochasticity and catastrophes. Noise induced density proportion shifts imply that large population sizes are no insurance towards future increase in environmental variance. Synchrony of species environmental responses and dispersal between subpopulations can both have major influences on stability and extinction risk of smaller food webs indicating that spatial structure could be one of the dominating factors stabilizing complex food webs found in nature.

Drakare, Stina. "The Role of Picophytoplankton in Lake Food Webs." Doctoral thesis, Uppsala University, Limnology, 2002. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-2710.
Full textPicophytoplankton were inferior competitors for inorganic phosphorus compared to heterotrophic bacteria. This may be due to the source of energy available for the heterotrophs, while cell-size was of minor importance. However, picophytoplankton were superior to large phytoplankton in the competition for nutrients at low concentrations.
Biomass of picophytoplankton was low in brownwater lakes and high in clearwater lakes, compared to the biomass of heterotrophic bacteria. The results suggest that picophytoplankton are inferior to heterotrophic bacteria in the competition for inorganic nutrients in brownwater lakes, where the production of heterotrophic bacteria is subsidized by humic dissolved organic carbon (DOC)
Relative to large phytoplankton, picophytoplankton were most important in lakes with intermediate water colour, despite the fact that the lowest nutrient concentrations were found in the clearwater lakes. Large phytoplankton in the clearwater lakes may be able to overcome nutrient competition with picophytoplankton by vertical migration.
In conclusion, changes in nutrient content, light availability and concentrations of DOC affect the interactions of heterotrophic bacteria, picophytoplankton and large phytoplankton and are therefore important factors for the structure of the food web in the pelagic zones of lakes.
Picophytoplankton (planktonic algae and cyanobacteria, < 2 µm) constitute an important component of pelagic food webs. They are linked to larger phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria through complex interactions including competition, commensalism and predation. In this thesis, field and laboratory studies on the competitive ability of picophytoplankton are reported.
