Sentence examples for by changes in community from inspiring English sources

Combined, these results suggest that the increased variability in butterfly species richness in forest fragments may be explained by changes in community composition and butterfly abundance.

This finding suggests that selection for body size is influenced by changes in community dynamics that are related to graded differences in area over what are otherwise similar bioclimatic conditions.

Traditionally, quantification of ecological damage and potential benefits of restoration have been based on the presence/absence of key indicator species or by changes in community structure as measured by point measurements of the relative abundance of animals or plants [e.g., [3], –[5].

These effects were accompanied by changes in the community extraenzymatic profile: the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acidic phosphatase, Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase (P cycle) and lipases increased in the SLNs microcosms.

Although these responses were soil specific, structural equation modelling by compiling all the data together showed that warming had significant direct and indirect impacts on soil nitrification which were driven by changes in AOA community structure, but no obvious effects of elevated CO2 could be identified.

Since offshore zooplankton and fish communities strongly differ from inshore species [25], [28], our methodology does not seem to be affected by changes in the communities composing acoustic scatterers.

Apart from invasion by non-native species, long-term changes in community structure resulting from biotic interactions have rarely been recorded in bioassessment studies (but see Marten 2001), and may represent an under-recognized cause of variability in benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages.

Knowledge and experience accumulated in practical restoration can considerably benefit theoretical ecology for example by improving the understanding on (i) temporal changes in community, (ii) species assembly, (iii) species dispersal and establishment and (iv) landscape-scale dynamics of biodiversity.
