Influences of habitat complexity on the diversity and abundance of epiphytic invertebrates on plants

The amount of particulate organic matter, >225 lm (POM) and chlorophyll a showed mixed patterns on natural and artificial plants, suggesting that the availability of these resources is not an overriding proximate factor controlling invertebrate abundance on plants.
Life cycles and population dynamics
- M. Tokeshi
- Biology
- 1995
As insects belonging to the Endopterygota (or Holometabola), the life cycle of Chironomidae is divided into four distinct stages, i.e. egg, larva, pupa and imago, while the lengths of egg and larval stages vary substantially between and within species.
Dynamics of distribution in animal communities: Theory and analysis

- 1 December 1992
A new model in which the rate of local extinctions is assumed to be negatively related to patch occupancy (or population abundance) is in better agreement with observed data than earlier models.
Habitat complexity in aquatic systems: fractals and beyond
- M. Tokeshi, S. Arakaki
- Environmental ScienceHydrobiologia
- 1 April 2012
This review examines the multi-faceted characteristics of habitat complexity, focusing in particular on aquatic ecosystems, and hypothesises that, where an entire range of possible fractal dimension D is considered, intermediate levels of D are most likely to be associated with the highest level of biodiversity.
Effects of habitat complexity on benthic assemblages in a variable environment
- Hiromi Taniguchi, M. Tokeshi
- Environmental Science
- 1 September 2004
It is demonstrated that habitat structure affects benthic invertebrate assemblages in a complex manner and body size was larger in the resource-preconditioning treatment than in the control treatment, suggesting that body size in invertebrates was controlled by a mixture of factors.
Reproduction and recruitment of scleractinian corals in a high-latitude coral community, Amakusa, southwestern Japan

- Environmental Science
- 11 March 2006
Among the key stages examined, the low recruitment rate may be the most important step in limiting successful reproduction and recruitment of these high-latitude scleractinian populations.
Testing the facilitation–competition paradigm under the stress-gradient hypothesis: decoupling multiple stress factors
- T. Kawai, M. Tokeshi
- PsychologyProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 7 October 2007
The present study emphasizes the importance of an integrative and mechanistic approach to testing and deciphering the facilitation–competition paradigm, and conceptualized possible variations in the patterns of change in interaction strength along a full range of a stress gradient.
