Full textThe South African abalone Haliotis midae is a commercially exploited species that is seriously threatened by overfishing and poaching. This not only affects the species itself but also the integrity and functionng of the ecosystem through associated changes in community structure. I assessed the influence of abalone on the ecosystem by a combination of (a) dietary studies, (b) comparisons of communities living on shell versus surrounding rock substratum, and (c) removal experiments using field exclusion/inclusion plots.

Full textSeveral aspects of seaweed ecology are poorly studied and documented in South Africa, especially the subtidal algal communities along the south coast. This study aims to investigate these communities where few other studies have been conducted. Sampling of shallow subtidal seaweed communities was undertaken at eleven sites along the south coast of South Africa from Still Bay to Mzamba. At each site a number of quadrats were placed within the shallow subtidal zone ranging in depth from O.3m to 2.5m. Within these quadrats all algae were destructively sampled (excluding encrusting algae), invertebrate grazers present were counted, and environmental measurements were taken. These environmental measurements included depth and slope, with temperature data supplied from a previous study. The biogeographical communities of this area were investigated using Detrended Correspondence Analysis, Canonical Correspondence Analysis and cluster analysis, in order to compare them with previous studies on the marine biogeography of the area. In the 85 quadrats that were sampled, 97 species of Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta were found. Articulated (or geniculate) coralline red algae were very abundant in the samples, with 17 species that contributed over 44 of the biomass. There was a high number of other red algal species (54 species) but they represented only 10 of the total biomass. Green algal species were not very common (there were only 12 species) but they contributed 42 to the biomass. There were a similar number of brown algal species (14), although they only contributed 2 of the total biomass.

Full textThe biogeography and ecology of benthic shallow subtidal reef communities in the western Indian Ocean is poorly known, particularly in north-eastern South Africa and southern Mozambique. This thesis uses quantitative information to resolve biogeographic patterns, define reef community types, elucidate potential abiotic determinants of community composition, and evaluate whether subsidies of riverine-derived particulate organic matter (POM) support filter-feeder biomass and drive biogeographic patterns. A large-scale biogeographic analysis was conducted using quantitative biomass data derived from 55 shallow subtidal reefs spanning five countries in the western Indian Ocean. Two statistically distinct marine provinces, Tropical Indo-West Pacific and Subtropical Natal, were recognised by differences in community composition and separated by a biogeographic break in the vicinity of Cape Vidal, South Africa. The biogeographic break took the form of a transitional or overlap area corresponding in location to the Delagoa Bioregion, one of three bioregions also revealed by post-hoc analyses. Significant differences in total average biomass and trophic structure were evident among bioregions, with a number of inter-bioregional trends in trophic groups being apparent. In total, 12 reef community types were recognised, based on similarity profile permutation tests. Most reefs in the Subtropical Natal Bioregion were dominated by a community type characterised by a high biomass of the filter-feeding ascidian Pyura stolonifera and various species of articulated coralline algae. In the Delagoa Overlap Bioregion, a comparatively high diversity of community types was defined, many dominated by algal turf, P. stoloniferaand various Alcyonacea and Scleractinia. Further north, P. stolonifera diminished and the contributions of Scleractinia, especially Porites spp., Pocilloporaspp. and Galaxea spp. increased. Many of these community types are not represented within protected area networks, particularly those in southern Mozambique. When the biomass data were correlated with nine abiotic variables, likely determinants of community composition emerged at both inter- and intra-regional scales. Sea surface temperature, significant wave height, chlorophyll-a and suspended inorganic sediment were the variables highly correlated with community composition and therefore most likely to drive biogeographic differences. Within each bioregion, different sets of abiotic variables were found to be important in driving community differences among sites, including turbidity, chlorophyll-a, reef susceptibility to sand inundation, reef heterogeneity and sea surface temperature. Striking differences in the oceanographic conditions of bioregions were evident, especially between Subtropical Natal and Delagoa Overlap bioregions. In particular, the strong influence of wave height emerged as a novel and unexpected correlate at a biogeographic scale. These differences initiated a trophic study conducted in the Subtropical Natal Bioregion, aimed at determining the importance of riverine-derived POM subsidies in supporting the high filter-feeder biomass in this bioregion. Using carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotopes and a three-source Bayesian mixing model to calculate proportional contributions, I determined that marine-derived POM formed the bulk of the diets of four species of filter-feeders, but the assimilation of riverine-derived POM was nevertheless notable, ranging from 8 to 33 %. I concluded that riverine POM is likely to play an important but secondary role to factors such as increased levels of turbidity and productivity in explaining the high filter-feeder biomass in the Subtropical Natal Bioregion. These findings provide the first evidence of riverine-inshore-pelagic coupling in filterfeeder communities in this bioregion, and throw light on the factors linked to large-scale biogeographic patterns.

Full textShallow subtidal epibenthic communities worldwide are under threat from exploitation, pollution, eutrophication, acidification, climate change, and invasive species, with implications for ecosystem diversity, productivity, function, and services. Subtidal ecosystems in the Gulf of Maine are particularly impacted, making it crucial to understand these habitats so that our impacts can be predicted and mitigated. I investigated the basic ecological forces that structure shallow subtidal epibenthic communities in this region, and how invasive species integrate themselves into these communities. I used community phylogenetic and functional trait analyses to investigate if invertebrate communities in the rocky subtidal are assembled via deterministic or random forces, experimental manipulations to quantify how macroalgae might influence sessile invertebrates on subtidal surfaces, and measurements of life history traits of Botrylloides violaceus, an invasive colonial ascidian, to estimate whether growth of this species differs among man-made versus natural habitats. Based on community phylogenetic analyses, rocky subtidal invertebrate communities appear to be structured by deterministic forces, with evidence for both competitive exclusion and environmental filtering operating at different spatial scales. These findings support existing studies that show that competition structures communities at local scales, and also expand our knowledge of the processes that act regionally, i.e. environmental filtering. On shallow sunlit experimental surfaces suspended from floating docks, macroalgae had little effect on invertebrate abundance or diversity, contrary to findings from experiments in the rocky subtidal. Macroalgae did influence composition as well as enhance invertebrate colonization in the early stages of community assembly. Different factors appear to influence the balance between heterotrophs and autotrophs in floating dock and rocky subtidal systems with implications for community structure, function and productivity. In different habitats, colonies of the invasive ascidian B. violaceus exhibited differences in life history traits. It grew faster and attained larger sizes in man-made floating dock versus natural rocky subtidal and eelgrass bed habitats. Again, differences among habitats appear to influence invasion success. In conclusion, competitive exclusion, facilitation, and environmental filtering play key roles in controlling the structure, composition, and function of shallow subtidal communities. Invasive species have the potential to disrupt these forces as they integrate themselves into man-made and subsequently natural habitats.
