Impact of human intervention and predator–prey dynamics on ecosystem virus transmission

Chaos An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 35(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Humans and predators occupy dominant positions in ecosystems are generally believed to play a decisive role maintaining ecosystem stability, particularly the context of virus transmission. However, this may not always be case. By establishing some transmission models that cover both human perspectives predators, we have drawn following conclusions: (1) Controlling vaccination activities from perspective can potentially lower rate improve herd immunity, thereby indirectly protecting unvaccinated risk groups. (2) In ecosystem, does determine spread viruses. Once ecological balance between prey is disrupted, there scenarios where predator populations die out, overpopulate, or go extinct. such cases, has little impact, system cannot restore itself new equilibrium state. case, even if humans intervene, it difficult change fate species extinction. (3) situations maintain stable state, attitudes actions critical. Human intervention directly affect recovery hosts, rapidly reducing infection mitigating harm caused by virus. If do remain infected for long time, posing serious threat ecosystem.

Biota Connect Aquatic Habitats throughout Freshwater Ecosystem Mosaics

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 54(2), P. 372 - 399

Published: March 1, 2018

Freshwater ecosystems are linked at various spatial and temporal scales by movements of biota adapted to life in water. We review the literature on aquatic organisms that connect different types freshwater habitats, focusing linkages from streams wetlands downstream waters. Here, streams, wetlands, rivers, lakes, ponds, other habitats viewed as dynamic ecosystem mosaics (FEMs) collectively provide resources needed sustain life. Based existing evidence, it is clear biotic throughout FEMs have important consequences for biological integrity biodiversity. All move within among FEM components, but differ mode, frequency, distance, timing their movements. These allow recolonize avoid inbreeding, escape stressors, locate mates, acquire resources. Cumulatively, these individual populations contribute local regional diversity, resilience disturbance, persistence species face environmental change. Thus, connections established movement waters critical ecological systems. Future research will help advance our understanding link cumulative effects

Movement of organisms comprises a fundamental part coastal habitat connectivity. Determining the distribution and co-existence specialists generalists in shallow-water seascapes leads to better understanding strength connectivity-driven community patterns areas. In current study, unbaited Remote Underwater Video (RUV) systems were used study usage connectivity fish within six on Swedish west coast. Within each seascape, video sampling was conducted at three different habitats: seagrass meadows, rock-macroalgae unvegetated areas, June 2014. Comparative analyses showed that similar adjacent habitats though abundances higher structurally complex habitats. All dominated by juveniles, highlighting importance seascape for early life stages. The findings demonstrate temperate waters are linked through species utilization matrix could be regarded terms nursery fish. highlights considering conservation planning management.

Species range shifts along multistressor mosaics in estuarine environments under future climate

Fish and Fisheries, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 21(1), P. 32 - 46

Published: Oct. 16, 2019

Abstract Range shifts are a key mechanism that species employ in response to climate change. Increasing global temperatures driving redistributions cooler areas along three main spatial axes: increasing latitudes, altitudes and water depths. Climate‐mediated range shift theory focuses on temperature as the primary ecological driver, but change alters other environmental factors well, these rarely work isolation. Ecosystems often characterized mosaics of overlapping stressors, resulting temporal heterogeneity which differs between stable, low complexity (e.g. open ocean) highly variable, complex mosaic environments estuaries). We propose multistressor climate‐mediated across abiotic gradients, typical for mobile fish) variable coastal environments. conceptualize how climate‐driven changes salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen pH can drive redistribution estuarine future world. Non‐thermal drivers critical component when not considered, underestimate impact populations ecosystem services.
