title: PISCO: Physical Oceanography: moored temperature data: Santa Cruz Island, California, USA (SMG)

description: This metadata record describes moored seawater temperature data collected at Santa Cruz Island, California, USA, by PISCO. Measurements were collected using StowAway Tidbit Temperature Loggers (Onset Computer Corp. TBIC32+4+27) beginning 2006-04-19. The instrument depth was 014 meters, in an overall water depth of 015 meters (both relative to Mean Sea Level, MSL). The sampling interval was 2.0 minutes.

title: Seasonal succession of a zooplankton metacommunity in the shallow ponds of the nature reserve

description: The pond complex is part of the De Maten nature reserve (50 degrees 57' N, 5 degrees 27' E) situated in the territory of Genk and Diepenbeek (Limburg province, Belgium; Figure 8.1). The area has been classified as a protected nature reserve since 1976 and now covers a surface of nearly 310 ha, of which 217 ha are managed by Natuurpunt vzw. The pond complex is a typical example of an ancient chain of fishing ponds. The ponds were created in the Middle Ages through peat digging and the construction of dykes. Fish farming continued until 1990 (Daniels 1998; W. Peumans, pers. comm.), but fish are still present in the ponds. All ponds studied are shallow (mean depth approximately 0.5 m) and eutrophied (except Pond 1). The pond complex is 3 Km long and 1.5 Km wide). There is a unidirectional flow of water from the upstream pond in the northeast corner of the nature reserve (Pond 32) at 55 m above sea level to the ponds in the southern end of the system at approximately 40 m above sea level. Almost half of the water in the system comes from two rivulets, and the remainder comes from ground water. The main rivulet, the Stiemerbeek, feeds Pond 32 and all downstream ponds. The second rivulet, the Heiweyerbeek, feeds a subset of ponds located in the northwest corner of the area and flows directly into Pond 18. At the southwest end of the pond complex, the water is diverted back into the Stiemerbeek, which flows into the Demer River. A subset of the pond complex (13 ponds, 8 from the upstream subgroup, and 5 from the downstream subgroup, with no direct water connection between the two subgroups) was sampled on 7 different dates between April 13 and July 17 1999, following an experimental manipulation of the different ponds (stocking with pike fingerlings and removing the water).

title: Plant-pollinator interaction matrices from Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina

description: The study was conducted in four grazed and four ungrazed sites in and around Nahuel Huapi National Park and surrounding areas in Rio Negro, Argentina from September 1999 to Feburary 2000. For each site, the plant-pollinator interaction network was described. Sources: Vazquez, D. P., and D. Simberloff. 2002.

title: Interaction Web Database

description: This is a cooperative database containing published data on species interaction networks. The database currently contains datasets on species interactions from several communities in different parts of the world. Data currently available are for a variety of interaction types, includying plant-pollinator, plant-frugivore, plant-herbivore, plant-ant mutualist and predator-prey interactions. Our goal is to expand the database to make it a repository of data on any kind of interactions.

title: Atlantic reef fish database

description: Detailed biogeographical studies of Atlantic reef-fishes were always hampered by the lack of up-to-date faunal checklists. Although we have excellent references available for certain regions (e.g. the Caribbean, Bermuda, Azores), as well as a recent checklist for Brazil (Floeter et al., 2001), no comprehensive database has ever been assembled for the entire tropical and subtropical Atlantic. Recent fieldwork and taxonomic research focusing on West Africa, the Brazilian coast, and isolated oceanic islands, revealed new extant species, and added considerable new information about the geographical distribution of tropical reef fishes. Concurrently, new works on the tectonic, eustatic, climatic, and oceanographic characteristics of the tropical Atlantic, as well as works on phylogeography of Atlantic species are available. Taking advantage of Internet's dynamic exchange of information, a multi-institutional international team of researchers - from both sides of the Atlantic - assembled the most accurate checklist possible for the whole tropical Atlantic. The checklist also includes important adjacent subtropical areas such as the Mediterranean Sea and Southern Africa. The present work aim to reevaluate biogeographical affinities in the Atlantic based on the new database compiled as well as evidences from recent phylogeographic works.

The database consists of binary presence/absence information of reef fish species. There are currently 27 columns of sites, and over 2000 rows of reef fish species. Each species was assigned a trophic category and major habitat.

title: Parasites of introduced species

description: We compiled species richness and prevalence data from parasitological studies of 26 invasive species from seven taxa examined in their natural habitats. In order to compare parasite measures across the diverse range of host taxa studied (which varied in their parasite richness), we standardized parasite species richness (SPSR) for each population of hosts within each study as a proportion relative to the total number of parasite species found in all studies within the native range of that host species. In addition, we compared both mean prevalence (averaged across parasite species for each host species and the summed prevalence (sum of all parasite species for each host species). The latter measure gives an indication of the cumulative extent of parasitism (or potential impact of parasitism on a host population) that each host experiences14. For each of these metrics, we estimated the proportional parasite release experienced by introduced species as: (N-I)/N, where N is the value for the native range and I is the value for the introduced range of the above metrics.
