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

Heat Stress Altered the Vaginal Microbiome and Metabolome in Rabbits

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Heat stress can have an impact on parental gamete maturation and reproduction functions. According to current research, the microbial composition of the vaginal cavity is species specific. Pregnancy, menstruation, and genital diseases have been linked to
