Abstract

Theory predicts that a predator can promote coexistence among competing prey, and so enhance prey diversity (the keystone predation effect), by fostering dominance of slow-growing, consumption-resistant prey. In contrast, if the predator promotes dominance by fast-growing vulnerable prey, theory predicts that the predator is unlikely to promote prey diversity. Theory is silent about keystone predation effects when the predator does not cause a net change in the vulnerability of the prey assemblage. I present experimental evidence that Daphnia can act as a keystone predator without causing a net change in the grazing resistance of the phytoplankton assemblage. No change in resistance was observed, despite strong Daphnia effects on the species composition of the phytoplankton.

Abstract

Primary production and calcification in response to different partial pressures of CO2(PCO2) (‘‘glacial,’’ ‘‘present,’’ and ‘‘year 2100’’ atmospheric CO2 concentrations) wereinvestigated during a mesocosm bloom dominated by the coccolithophorid Emilianiahuxleyi. The day-to-day dynamics of net community production (NCP) and netcommunity calcification (NCC) were assessed during the bloom development and declineby monitoring dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA), togetherwith oxygen production and 14C incorporation. When comparing year 2100 with glacialPCO2 conditions we observed: (1) no conspicuous change of net community productivity(NCPy); (2) a delay in the onset of calcification by 24 to 48 hours, reducing theduration of the calcifying phase in the course of the bloom; (3) a 40% decrease of NCC;and (4) enhanced loss of organic carbon from the water column. These results suggest ashift in the ratio of organic carbon to calcium carbonate production and vertical fluxwith rising atmospheric PCO2.
