The Population Community Interface: Demography of Soft Bottom Infaunal Succession

与人口有关的文学作品- 海洋软底系统群落界面大致分为福尔斯 分成两个班。 更普遍的观点是， 从上面的界面，通过研究社区的模式 并将这些模式与理论联系起来 关于种群之间的相互作用以及物种如何 生命史与环境的性质有关。 的 其他类型的研究方法人口社区 通过检查选定的 生物种群，并将这些模式与 关于人口之间相互作用的理论， 环境的性质。 这项研究提供了一个直接的 评估人口一级进程的贡献， 包括依赖于生活史的人口动态， 控制底栖动物群落结构的关键过程。更 总的来说，它将大大增加我们对 底栖动物的人口动态及其如何随生境而变化 条件此外，它还将提供人口水平 与其他海底研究领域有关的资料 如次级生产、觅食策略和存款 喂食

The body of literature relating to the population- community interface in marine soft-bottom systems falls roughly into two classes. The more common view has been to approach the interface from above, by studying patterns of community structure and function and relate these patterns to theories concerning the interactions between populations and how species life histories relate to the nature of the environment. The other class of studies approaches the population-community interface from below by examining details of selected populations of organisms and relating theses patterns to theories concerning the interactions between populations and the nature of the environment. This research provides a direct assessment of the contribution that population-level processes, including life history dependent demographic dynamics, make to key processes controlling infaunal community structure. More generally, it will add significantly to our understanding of infaunal demographic dynamics and how they vary with habitat conditions. In addition it will provide population-level information with bearing on other areas of benthic research such as secondary production, foraging tactics and deposit feeding.
