Testing the abundant-centre hypothesis using intertidal porcelain crabs along the Chilean coast: Linking abundance and life-history variation
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 22:12 authored by Rivadeneira, MM, Hernaez, P, Antonio Baeza, J, Boltana, S, Cifuentes, M, Correa, C, Cuevas, A, Del Valle, E, Hinojosa Toledo, IA, Ulrich, N, Valdivia, N, Vasquez, N, Zander, A, Thiel, MAim The abundant-centre hypothesis (ACH) is based on the assumption that physiological constraints limit populations at the edges of their distributional range, yet the geographical variation of physiological performance or life-history traits has rarely been examined. Here we examine the applicability of the ACH in a marine system by testing whether physiological predictions are reflected in large-scale variations of life-history traits.
