The extent to which the effects of rising water temperature could drive changes in fish populations and if and how these effects may interact with potential management interventions remain unclear. The objective of this study was to test various hypothesized mechanisms by which sea surface temperature (SST) could affect reef fish population dynamics and explore these effects in combination with fishing effort restrictions and spatial closures. To do this, we modeled hypothesized relationships between SST and two governing parameters of the fish populations: intrinsic growth rate (<i>r</i>) and carrying capacity (<i>K</i>). We coupled these temperature-dependent fish population models with a fisheries harvest model and explored interactions between thermal effects, fishing effort level, and spatial closures. Under small closure scenarios, we found that the thermal effects models predicted substantially lower fish population biomass and harvest compared to the baseline (constant <i>r</i> and <i>K</i>) model. Under large closure scenarios, the thermal effects models more closely resembled the baseline. Generally, incorporating spatial closures mitigated some of the detrimental thermal effects on fish biomass and allowed for increased harvest under certain fishing effort levels. Whether intrinsic growth or carrying capacity most affected fish population levels also depended on the fishing effort and the spatial closure area. Overall, we described how fishing effort and spatial closures can influence the relative importance of key processes and the extent to which rising water temperatures affect fish populations and harvest.</p>","PeriodicalId":51198,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Ecology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because the mutation rates considered in their work are much larger than those experienced by living organisms, there is still some question as to whether speciation will occur in this type of model under realistic conditions. Here, I develop a variant of the neutral model that includes a realistic mechanism for organism dispersal. I explore speciation in the model for a class of mobile organisms (butterflies), and I find that speciation does occur under conditions consistent with butterfly populations, albeit on narrow landscapes. The model also appears to exhibit scaling behavior—specifically, if the model is “scaled up” by increasing the area of the landscape while holding its length to width ratio and population density constant, the number of species tends to an asymptotic value.

In this study, we evaluate the extent of deciduous-evergreen coexistence in tropical forests and develop a simple model of competition for water between leaf habits. Using this model, we formalize two mechanisms representing rainfall variability across time scales that may explain their stable coexistence: the temporal storage effect via interannual variability in rainfall vs. rainfall partitioning via evergreen access to dry-season rainfall. In our model, both mechanisms resulted in coexistence, but coexistence was more robust via resource partitioning. Empirically, remotely sensed deciduousness increased with precipitation seasonality, but effects of interannual rainfall variability on deciduousness were minor.

Below this threshold, stochasticity eventually causes pathogen extinction. Here, we introduce a mechanism of behaviour-mediated persistence, by which the population response to the pathogen alters the CCS. We exemplify this with infection transmission and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in a population where both individuals and government authorities restrict transmission more strongly when case numbers are higher. This results in a coupled social-ecological feedback between disease dynamics and population behaviour. In a parameter regime corresponding to a moderate population response, this feedback allows the pathogen to avoid extinction in epidemic troughs. The result is a very low CCS that allows long-term pathogen persistence. Hence, an incomplete population response represents a “sour spot” that not only ensures relatively high case incidence but also promotes long-term persistence of the pathogen by reducing the CCS. We illustrate this mechanism for parameters corresponding to severe coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given the worldwide prevalence of small, isolated populations, these results emphasize the need for incorporating behavioural feedback into CCS estimates. Regional elimination and global eradication programs for vaccine-preventable infections could also account for this effect.</p>","PeriodicalId":51198,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Ecology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given this perspective, remote sensing has gained widespread recognition as a powerful tool for assessing the spatial heterogeneity of ecosystems by analyzing the variability among different pixel values in both space and, potentially, time. Several measures of spatial heterogeneity have been proposed, broadly categorized into abundance-related measures (e.g., Shannon’s H) and dispersion-related measures (e.g., Variance). A measure that integrates both abundance and distance information is the Rao’s quadratic entropy (Rao’s Q index), mainly used in ecology to measure plant diversity based on in-situ based functional traits. The question arises as to why one should use a complex measure that considers multiple dimensions and couples abundance and distance measurements instead of relying solely on simple dispersion-based measures of heterogeneity. This paper sheds light on the spatial version of the Rao’s Q index, based on moving windows for its calculation, with a particular emphasis on its mathematical and statistical properties. The main objective is to theoretically demonstrate the strength of Rao’s Q index in measuring heterogeneity, taking into account all its potential facets and applications, including (i) integrating multivariate data, (ii) applying differential weighting to pixels, and (iii) considering differential weighting of distances among pixel reflectance values in spectral space.</p>","PeriodicalId":51198,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interaction between ecological dynamics and evolutionary processes is essential to simulating evolutionary branching, a precursor to speciation. The creation and maintenance of biodiversity in models depends upon their ability to capture the dynamics of evolutionary branching. Understanding these systems requires low-dimension models that are amenable to analysis. The rapid reproduction rates of marine plankton ecosystems and their importance in determining the fluxes of climatically important gases between the ocean and atmosphere suggest that the next generation of global climate models needs to incorporate eco-evolutionary models in the ocean. This requires simple population-level models, that can represent such eco-evolutionary processes with orders of magnitude fewer equations than models that follow the dynamics of individual phenotypes. We present a general framework for developing eco-evolutionary models and consider its general properties. This framework defines a fitness function and assumes a beta distribution of phenotype abundances within each population. It simulates the change in total population size, the mean trait value, and the trait differentiation, from which the variance of trait values in the population may be calculated. We test the efficacy of the eco-evolutionary modelling framework by comparing the dynamics of evolutionary branching in a six-equation eco-evolutionary model that has evolutionary branching, with that of an equivalent one-hundred equation model that simulates the dynamics of every phenotype in the population. The latter model does not involve a population fitness function, nor does it assume a distribution of phenotype abundance across trait values. The eco-evolutionary population model and the phenotype model produce similar evolutionary branching, both qualitatively and quantitatively, in both symmetric and asymmetric fitness landscapes. In order to better understand the six-equation model, we develop a heuristic three-equation eco-evolutionary model. We use the density-independent mortality parameter as a convenient bifurcation parameter, so that differences in evolutionary branching dynamics in symmetric and asymmetric fitness landscapes may be investigated. This model shows that evolutionary branching of a stable population is flagged by a zero in the local trait curvature; the trait curvature then changes sign from negative to positive and back to negative, along the solution. It suggests that evolutionary branching points may be generated differently, with different dynamical properties, depending upon, in this case, the symmetry of the system. It also suggests that a changing environment, that may change attributes such as mortality, could have profound effects on an ecosystem’s ability to adapt.

Our model involves key components including seed-reproduction rates, plant dispersal abilities, the germination probabilities of seeds surviving predation, local interactions among plants, seed-predation rates, and herbivore conversion efficiencies. The plant-herbivore system has exhibited short-term and long-term transient behaviour and strong dependence of plant demography and predation pressure on abrupt transient shifts and duration of transients. Our results have demonstrated that high seed-reproduction rates obstruct long transients and can lead to extinctions of plants with low dispersal abilities.

Temperature is thought to be a key determinant of treeline because it affects the rates at which trees establish, grow, produce seeds, and die. As climate change causes temperature increases, treelines have been observed to move in response—but there is considerable variability. In this study, we present a general mathematical model that provides possible explanations for both the general patterns observed in treelines and some of the variation. Avoiding system-specific details, our model assumes simply that all life processes are temperature-dependent. We incorporate the possibility of positive or negative feedback, in which the presence of trees either increases or decreases the temperature at their location. Our results indicate that this feedback and the relationship between temperature thresholds for growth, seed production, and seedling establishment are the key determinants of tree line form and movement. The model also shows that under many conditions bistability is predicted: treeline can equilibrate at two different elevations under the same conditions, depending on the system’s history.
