Journal - Spider Lizards Flashcards
What did this paper show about non-synchronous recovery?
It shown species did this, like they didn’t recover in abundance at same rates.
4 years before ,immediately after and 4 years after.
What happened to lizard effects on abundance.
These lizard effects declined after large population wipe, but it increased back to levels after population raised again.
*Species richness however, had pretty much vanished in tis effect.
What was unique about the 41 islands studied in this paper?
It’s super rare to check out effects of natural disasters.
What happened to free-living spider species after the… disaster?
They dramatically reduced in number, averaging a mere 1.7% of last recorded values. after 2 months of ‘disaster’
Had species richness around 24.6% and 20.9%
Interestingly initially not much difference between liz and nolizard islands.
How did species richness differ between lizard and no lizard islands.
It averaged 66% when compared to no level islands.
