摘要

基础物种支撑着高生产力和高价值的生态系统,但人为干扰和环境变化正日益导致基础物种的转移,即一种基础物种取代另一种基础物种。由于对不同基础物种的等同性及其支持功能的研究有限,人们对基础物种转移的后果还不甚了解。在墨西哥湾,典型的沼泽基础物种(Spartina alterniflora)正在被红树林基础物种(Avicennia germinans)取代,迫使沼泽动物依赖 Avicennia 提供基础支持。我们评估了两种常见的、具有生态价值的基底消费者--招潮蟹(Uca spp.)和沼泽长春花螺(Littoraria irrorata)--在不同红树林侵占程度的地点与这两种基础物种的相互作用。通过调查物理支持(以栖息地关联和共存衡量)和营养支持(以基础资源膳食贡献衡量),我们发现,Avicennia 可以在物理上取代 Spartina 对某些消费者的作用,但并不能提供同等的营养支持。Uca 和 Littoraria 通常占据被侵占的地点,并与红树林有联系,但它们的食物中几乎没有红树林植物物质。在红树林侵蚀的情况下,地基转移的最终后果可能包括能量流和资源使用的改变以及基底消费者数量的减少。要全面了解地基变化所产生的影响,有必要从多个角度研究与地基物种的相互作用,尤其是在地基变化越来越普遍的情况下。

Foundation Species Shift Causes a Partial Loss of Functional Support for Benthic Coastal Consumers

Foundation Species Shift Causes a Partial Loss of Functional Support for Benthic Coastal Consumers

Foundation species support highly productive and valuable ecosystems, but anthropogenic disturbances and environmental changes are increasingly causing foundation species shifts, where one foundation species replaces another. The consequences of foundation shifts are not well understood, as there is limited research on the equivalency of different foundation species and the functions they support. Here, we provide insight into community-level consequences of foundation shifts in the Gulf of Mexico, where the typical marsh foundation species (Spartina alterniflora) is being replaced with a mangrove foundation species (Avicennia germinans), forcing marsh fauna to rely on Avicennia for foundational support. We evaluated the interactions of two common and ecologically valuable basal consumers, fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) and marsh periwinkle snails (Littoraria irrorata), with both foundation species across sites with different levels of mangrove encroachment. By investigating both physical support, measured as habitat association and co-occurrence, and trophic support, as basal resource diet contributions, we found that Avicennia can physically replace Spartina for some consumers, but is not providing equivalent trophic support. Uca and Littoraria commonly occupy encroached sites and associate with mangroves but incorporate almost no mangrove plant matter into their diets. The ultimate consequences of a foundation shift in the case of mangrove encroachment may include shifting energy flows and resource use and decreased populations of basal consumers. Looking at interactions with foundation species from multiple perspectives is necessary to obtain a complete picture of the effects that foundational shifts are having, especially as such shifts are becoming increasingly common.

期刊介绍: Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science, the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today, the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons, wetlands, tidal fresh water, shores and beaches, but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical, chemical, geological or biological processes, as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings, reviews and perspectives, techniques, comments, and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive, strongly place-based, or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.
