Environmental drivers of fish community functional diversity in arid mangroves compared to a tropical estuary

Mangroves are important habitats for fish across latitudinal gradients, but few studies have examined fish community functional diversity in mangroves from arid environments. To address this, we assembled 11 morpho-functional traits and taxonomic diversity for 123 fish species and environmental char...

description	Mangroves are important habitats for fish across latitudinal gradients, but few studies have examined fish community functional diversity in mangroves from arid environments. To address this, we assembled 11 morpho-functional traits and taxonomic diversity for 123 fish species and environmental characteristics from 3 mangrove ecosystems in the Gulf of California, where arid conditions prevail. We compared these arid mangrove fish communities to a semitropical community in an estuarine condition to analyze functionality. Arid mangrove fish communities were similar to each other, but different from semitropical estuarine fish communities (R = 0.951, P = 0.007). Mangrove fish communities had higher trait diversity than the estuarine community, but the estuary had higher redundancy. Taxonomic diversity showed a latitudinal gradient, with the southernmost site in the arid region functioning as a transition site to estuarine communities. Despite the different taxonomic composition, the functional structure remained similar in the fish communities within the arid region and had higher counts of diverse traits than the site with estuarine conditions. High salinity and evaporation deficit in the arid mangroves relaxed habitat filtering pressures relative to the estuarine conditions, where the higher tolerance to salinity changes imposes redundant morphologies. Future studies should focus on seasonal variation of environmental effects on the functional aspects of the fish community.

Los manglares son hábitats importantes para los peces a través de los gradientes latitudinales, pero pocos estudios han examinado la diversidad funcional de las comunidades de peces en ambientes áridos. Para abordar esto, reunimos 11 atributos morfofuncionales y analizamos la diversidad taxonómica de 123 especies de peces, además de analizar las características ambientales de 3 ecosistemas de manglar en el golfo de California, donde prevalecen condiciones áridas. Comparamos estas comunidades de peces de manglar árido con una comunidad semitropical en condiciones estuarinas para analizar la funcionalidad. Las comunidades de peces de los manglares áridos fueron similares entre sí, pero diferentes de las comunidades de estuarios semitropicales (R = 0.951, P = 0.007). Las comunidades de peces de los manglares áridos tuvieron una mayor diversidad de atributos que la comunidad estuarina, pero esta presentó una mayor redundancia de atributos. La diversidad taxonómica mostró un gradiente latitudinal, donde el sitio más sureño de la región árida funcionó como un sitio de transición para las comunidades estuarinas. A pesar de la diferente composición taxonómica, la estructura funcional siguió siendo similar en las comunidades de peces dentro de la región árida y obtuvo un mayor número de diversos atributos que el sitio en condiciones estuarinas. El alto déficit de salinidad y evaporación en los manglares áridos redujo la presión de filtrado del hábitat en relación con las condiciones estuarinas, donde la mayor tolerancia a los cambios de salinidad impone morfologías redundantes. Los estudios futuros deberán centrarse en la variación estacional de los efectos ambientales en los aspectos funcionales de la comunidad de peces. 2021-01-06 2021-06-03T03:55:44Z 2021-06-03T03:55:44Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/3102 10.7773/cm.v46i4.3102 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7581 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/3102/420420524 Copyright (c) 2020 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 46 No. 4 (2020); 193–210 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 46 Núm. 4 (2020); 193–210 2395-9053 0185-3880
