我们最近发表在《生态圈》(Lesser and Slattery 2018)上的论文解决了珊瑚礁生态学中的一个重要问题:海绵生物量和/或丰度是否会随着深度的增加而增加,从浅(< 30米)到中光(~ 30-150米)梯度?Scott和Pawlik(2018)基于对17项研究的回顾,得出结论认为“海绵增加假说”不受支持。重要的是要注意,任何假设都是“稻草人”,最终可能会受到额外的科学审查,并且目前对中光珊瑚生态系统(MCE)的更全面了解受到这些深度研究数量有限的阻碍(Loya等人2016)。尽管如此,使用历史和当代数据,我们证明了热带浅水和中光珊瑚礁海绵密度随深度增加的全球现象(Lesser和Slattery 2018:图3; R2= 0.449,P< 0.001),支持海绵增加假说。Pawlik和Scott(2019)不同意我们关于他们缺乏任何定量分析的声明。Scott和Pawlik(2018)确实报告了作者的许多描述性统计数据以及可用的定量统计数据,
Our recent paper in Ecosphere (Lesser and Slattery 2018) addressed an important question in coral reef ecology: Does sponge biomass and/or abundance increase with depth over the shallow (< 30 m)-to-mesophotic (~ 30–150 m) gradient? Scott and Pawlik (2018), based on a review of 17 studies, concluded that the “sponge increase hypothesis” is not supported. It is important to note that any hypothesis is a “strawman” that may ultimately fall under additional scientific scrutiny, and that a more complete understanding of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) is currently hindered by the limited number of studies at these depths (Loya et al. 2016). Nonetheless, using both historical and contemporary data, we demonstrated a global phenomenon of increasing sponge density with depth on tropical shallow and mesophotic reefs (Lesser and Slattery 2018: Fig. 3; R2= 0.449, P<<< 0.001) that supports the sponge increase hypothesis.In their response to our contribution, Pawlik and Scott (2019) take issue with our statement about their lack of any quantitative analysis. Scott and Pawlik (2018) did report many of the descriptive statistics, as well as quantitative statistics where available, by the authors of the
