Spatial Processes

Compositional variation among local communities is a result of environmental (e.g., environmental filtering) and spatial (e.g., dispersal limitation) processes. Growing evidence suggests that their relative importance varies temporally, but little is known about the short-time scale dynamics, that is, seasonality. Using marine fish communities in a Japanese bay as a model system, we tested the hypothesis that seasonal changes in the environment induce a shift in the relative importance of environmental and spatial processes. We used one-year monthly monitoring data obtained using environmental DNA and conducted a variation partitioning analysis to decompose the two processes. The relative importance of environmental and spatial processes was comparable averaged over the year but changed seasonally. During summer, when lower dissolved oxygen concentrations may adversely affect organisms, species composition was more explained by space despite larger environmental heterogeneity than in other seasons. This suggests that environmental processes weakened during the season with extremely severe environments, likely due to the random loss of individuals. We conclude that the assembly processes of communities of mobile organisms, such as fishes, can shift even within a year in response to seasonal changes in environmental severity. The results also indicate the applicability of eDNA techniques for community assembly studies.

AbstractA fundamental challenge in ecology is to understand why species are found where they are and predict where they are likely to occur in the future. Trait-based approaches may provide such understanding, because it is the traits and adaptations of species that determine which environments they can inhabit. It is therefore important to identify key traits that determine species distributions and investigate how these traits relate to the environment. Based on scientific bottom-trawl surveys of marine fish abundances and traits of >1,200 species, we investigate trait-environment relationships and project the trait composition of marine fish communities across the continental shelf seas of the Northern hemisphere. We show that traits related to growth, maturation and lifespan respond most strongly to the environment. This is reflected by a pronounced “fast-slow continuum” of fish life-histories, revealing that traits vary with temperature at large spatial scales, but also with depth and seasonality at more local scales. Our findings provide insight into the structure of marine fish communities and suggest that global warming will favour an expansion of fast-living species. Knowledge of the global and local drivers of trait distributions can thus be used to predict future responses of fish communities to environmental change.
