碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海洋生物研究所 / 98 / Coral reefs have high biodiversity among the many marine ecosystems. Many hypotheses explain marine biodiversity, e.g., the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, the Lottery hypothesis and the Resource Allocation Hypothesis, but there is no mention of the possible role of seasonal effects. Here, we propose the Seasonal Recruitment Hypothesis to explain the possible role of seasonal recruitment and succession in a disturbed ecosystem. In this investigation, we tested s...

Le maintien et le renouvellement des populations de poissons coralliens dépendent en grande partie du recrutement larvaire, c’est-à-dire de l’installation des larves pélagiques dans les habitats récifaux adultes, et de leur survie après s’être métamorphosées en juvéniles. De plus en plus d’études révèlent que les changements de composition de l’eau, causés par le changement climatique et la pollution, peuvent altérer les capacités sensorielles des poissons coralliens, diminuant leurs aptitudes à...

Le potentiel évolutif des populations naturelles à répondre aux changements environnementaux détermine leur capacité à s'adapter et à survivre. Pour achever une évolution adaptative, la fitness doit être héritable, i.e. doit être transmise des parents à leurs descendants par des gènes. Pour pouvoir mesurer le potentiel évolutif d'une population en milieu naturel, il est primordial d'avoir au préalable des informations sur la fitness des individus qui la composent, mais aussi de connaître la fitn...
