DESCRIPTION:Many species exist together\, allowing high levels of biodiver
 sity and efficiently functioning communities. Ecological dynamics on commu
 nities\, such as stochasticity and density dependance\, affect the trophic
  and social interactions between species and thus affect outcomes of speci
 es persistence\, community biodiversity and functioning. The other major i
 nfluence on these interactions will be the characteristics of the species.
 \n\nA computer model is used to track the effects of stochasticity and den
 sity dependance on a Scottish deep-sea fish community using real species t
 raits. Results highlight the importance of using characteristics in modell
 ing accurate community reactions to changing ecological situations.
