Abstract

Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive interactions is yet to be recognised. In this review, we provide evidence that rhodoliths can function as foundation species of multi-level facilitation cascades and, hence, are fundamental for the persistence of hierarchically structured communities within coastal oceans. Rhodoliths generate facilitation cascades by buffering physical stress, reducing consumer pressure and enhancing resource availability. Due to large variations in their shape, size and density, a single rhodolith bed can support multiple taxonomically distant and architecturally distinct habitat-forming species, such as primary producers, sponges or bivalves, thus encompassing a broad range of functional traits and providing a wealth of secondary microhabitat and food resources. In addition, rhodoliths are often mobile, and thus can redistribute associated species, potentially expanding the distribution of species with short-distance dispersal abilities. Key knowledge gaps we have identified include: the experimental assessment of the role of rhodoliths as basal facilitators; the length and temporal stability of facilitation cascades; variations in species interactions within cascades across environmental gradients; and the role of rhodolith beds as climate refugia. Addressing these research priorities will allow the development of evidence-based policy decisions and elevate rhodolith beds within marine conservation strategies.
积极的物种相互作用在全球范围内构建菱锰矿床群落
菱铁矿床是多种多样的栖息地,分布于全球各地。然而,人们尚未认识到红石在通过积极的相互作用层次结构相关物种群落方面所起的作用。在这篇综述中,我们提供的证据表明,菱铁矿可以作为多级促进级联的基础物种,因此是沿岸海洋中等级结构群落持续存在的基础。菱形石通过缓冲物理压力、减少消费者压力和提高资源可用性产生促进级联。由于其形状、大小和密度的巨大差异,单个菱形石床可支持多个在分类学上相距甚远、在建筑学上截然不同的生境形成物种,如初级生产者、海绵或双壳类动物,从而涵盖了广泛的功能特征,并提供了丰富的次生微生境和食物资源。此外,犀牛石通常具有移动性,因此可以重新分配相关物种,从而有可能扩大具有短距离传播能力的物种的分布范围。我们发现的主要知识空白包括:对菱铁矿作为基底促进剂的作用进行实验评估;促进级联的长度和时间稳定性;不同环境梯度级联内物种相互作用的变化;以及菱铁矿床作为气候避难所的作用。解决这些研究重点将有助于制定以证据为基础的决策,并提升红石床在海洋保护战略中的地位。

期刊介绍: Biological Reviews is a scientific journal that covers a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. It publishes several review articles per issue, which are aimed at both non-specialist biologists and researchers in the field. The articles are scholarly and include extensive bibliographies. Authors are instructed to be aware of the diverse readership and write their articles accordingly. The reviews in Biological Reviews serve as comprehensive introductions to specific fields, presenting the current state of the art and highlighting gaps in knowledge. Each article can be up to 20,000 words long and includes an abstract, a thorough introduction, and a statement of conclusions. The journal focuses on publishing synthetic reviews, which are based on existing literature and address important biological questions. These reviews are interesting to a broad readership and are timely, often related to fast-moving fields or new discoveries. A key aspect of a synthetic review is that it goes beyond simply compiling information and instead analyzes the collected data to create a new theoretical or conceptual framework that can significantly impact the field. Biological Reviews is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Diseases, Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, AgBiotechNet, AGRICOLA Database, GeoRef, Global Health, SCOPUS, Weed Abstracts, and Reaction Citation Index, among others.
