DIVERSITY ON CORAL REEFS

DIVERSITY - PERSPECTIVES
1) taxonomic
2) ecological
3) genetic
4) functional

DIVERSITY – WHAT IS IT?
1) Number of taxa (=richness)
2) Measure of evenness in abundance
N species equally common > N species of unequal abundance
DIVERSITY ≈ RICHNESS

Why are coral reef environments so diverse?
1) Environmental favourability
2) Productivity
3) Habitat heterogeneity
4) Niche diversity
5) Niche breadth
6) Interspecific interactions
7) Evolutionary processes
- Historical stability
- Speciation rates
- Extinction rates

Species richness
-the number of species present in a given area
Locally - richness is affected by:
Rates of additionof new species
Rates of extinction/removalof existing species
Richness
(Rate = total number of species / unit time

Species richness
Affected by:
• Area
• Productivity and light
• Disturbance
• History/Biogeography ✔

Area
Habitat area
Richness
Why?
1. Larger habitats are larger targets for dispersing organisms
2. Larger habitats contain more diverse microhabitats
3. Larger habitats support larger populations which have lower rates of local extinction
![Page 45: DIVERSITY ON CORAL REEFS. DIVERSITY - PERSPECTIVES 1) taxonomic 2) ecological 3) genetic 4) functional](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d5f5503460f94a3ffb5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Area
Problems:
1. Measure of richness sampling unit
2. Corals take up substrate space so that richness may be limited by average colony size
3. If sampling unit is small (> 1m2) richness limited by size of single colonies
medium/large (≈ 10 m2) richness affected by habitat heterogeneity
very large (> 100 m2) richness between habitat heterogeneity

Summary
Shoreline
- frequent low level disturbance
- bright light but more turbid
Forereef
- less disturbance
- bright light and less turbid
- increased competition
Deeper forereef
- little disturbance
- lower light and little turbidity
- decreased reliance on symbionts
-more heterotrophic corals (but decline in abundance of plankton)
