Historical Ecology of Seagrass Meadows Along the Gulf Coast of Florida by Alizé Marie Hardin PDF Summary

Book Description: Transennella spp., indicating that ecological and taphonomic attributes varied notably within and across estuaries. Relative abundance, body size, and taphonomic attributes of Transennella spp. did not correlate significantly with focused productivity proxies or predation. However, drilling frequency had a strong positive correlation with productivity proxies (total dissolved phosphorus and chlorophyll-a) suggesting that predator-prey interactions co-varied tightly with local primary productivity. The uncovered spatial gradient in predation archived by drilling frequencies in mollusk accumulations implies a long-term stability in spatial structuring of ecological interactions. The congruence between the long-term record of predation and the current productivity gradient suggests that long-term spatial dynamics in predator-prey interactions may be hydrologically controlled. This study demonstrates that geohistorical approaches can document long-term relationships between environmental gradients and ecological processes.
