Long-term coastal macrobenthic Community Trajectory Analysis reveals habitat-dependent stability patterns

Chirine Toumi et al.

Summary: Long-term monitoring programs are crucial for understanding changes in ecosystem health and ecological processes. In a 14-year study of benthic coastal invertebrates in the North-East Atlantic, community compositions varied between sites and habitats, but showed non-directional dynamics at the regional scale. The study confirmed the usefulness of community trajectory analysis (CTA) in linking observed patterns to ecological processes.

Detecting strong spatial and temporal variation in macrobenthic composition on an urban shelf using taxonomic surrogates

Broc S. Kokesh et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of different macrobenthic taxonomic sets in capturing spatial and temporal variations in community-level patterns. The results show that polychaetes accurately mirror the whole-fauna patterns, while bivalves are better at detecting the pollution gradient.

Extending community trajectory analysis: New metrics and representation

A. Sturbois et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a new framework for analyzing community dynamics and expands it by incorporating additional metrics related to initial states. It proposes using innovative maps, charts, and trajectory roses to represent ecological trajectories and enhance their interpretation. The authors urge ecologists skilled in multivariate analysis to integrate this Community Trajectory Analysis into their toolbox to quantitatively evaluate spatio-temporal changes.
