Comparative Analysis of Core Microbiome Assignments: Implications for Ecological Synthesis

open access: yesmSystems, 2023
The concept of a core microbiome has been broadly used to refer to the consistent presence of a set of taxa across multiple samples within a given habitat.

Tiger abundance and ecology in Jigme Dorji National Park, Bhutan

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Conservation of large carnivores, especially, wild tigers (Panthera tigris) require an accurate population estimate and knowledge of their ecology. Camera traps have been widely used to estimate the population abundance of animals with unique natural ...

Abundance-weighted phylogenetic diversity measures distinguish microbial community states and are robust to sampling depth [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2013
In microbial ecology studies, the most commonly used ways of investigating alpha (within-sample) diversity are either to apply non-phylogenetic measures such as Simpson’s index to Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) groupings, or to use classical ...

Pre-whaling genetic diversity and population ecology in eastern Pacific gray whales: insights from ancient DNA and stable isotopes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Commercial whaling decimated many whale populations, including the eastern Pacific gray whale, but little is known about how population dynamics or ecology differed prior to these removals.

Trap efficiency evaluation for small mammals in the southern Amazon [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 2015
The effectiveness of ecological researches on small mammals strongly depends on trapping techniques to survey communities and populations accurately. The main goal of this study was to assess the efficiency of three types of traps (Sherman, Tomahawk and ...

Towards precision ecology: Relationships of multiple sampling methods quantifying abundance for comparisons among studies

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Because different sampling techniques will provide different abundance values, it is currently difficult to compare results among many studies to form holistic understandings of how abundance influences ant ecology.

Functional Traits Are Good Predictors of Tree Species Abundance Across 101 Subtropical Forest Species in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
What causes variation in species abundance for a given site remains a central question in community ecology. Foundational to trait-based ecology is the expectation that functional traits determine species abundance. However, the relative success of using
