Testing Ecological Theory with Lianas [PDF]
, 2018 Lianas constitute a diverse polyphyletic plant group that is advancing our understanding of ecological theory. Specifically, lianas are providing new insights into the mechanisms that control plant distribution and diversity maintenance.

Modeling large scale species abundance with latent spatial processes [PDF]
, 2009 Modeling species abundance patterns using local environmental features is an important, current problem in ecology. The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) in South Africa is a global hot spot of diversity and endemism, and provides a rich class of species ...

Abundance and ecological associations of small mammals [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2019 ABSTRACTEffective conservation and management of small mammals require knowledge of the population dynamics of co‐occurring species. We estimated the abundances, autocorrelations, and spatiotemporal associations of 4 small‐mammal species from 2011–2016 using live‐trapping mark‐recapture methods on 9 sites across elevation and canopy openness gradients ...

Species richness, abundance and phenology of fungal fruit bodies over 21 years in a Swiss forest plot [PDF]
, 2001 Fungal fruit bodies were surveyed on a plot area of 1500 m2 from 1975¿99 (excluding 1980¿83) in the fungal reserve La Chaneaz in western Switzerland. Fruit bodies were identified and counted on a weekly basis.

Stochastic model for the species abundance problem in an ecological community [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2004 We propose a model based on coupled multiplicative stochastic processes to understand the dynamics of competing species in an ecosystem. This process can be conveniently described by a Fokker-Planck equation. We provide an analytical expression for the marginalized stationary distribution.

Heat Stress Altered the Vaginal Microbiome and Metabolome in Rabbits
Frontiers 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

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]
, 2008 1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Urbanization is quickly changing natural and agricultural landscapes, with consequences for the herbivorous arthropods dwelling in or near cities.

Species Lists in Ecology and Conservation: Abundances Matter [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2002 In a paper in the October 2001 issue of Conservation Biology , Gomez de Silva and Medellin (2001) studied the problem of incomplete species lists in conservation and macroecology. They based their study on the observation that “studies of species diversity, macroecology, and conservation are usually based on lists of species, but lists found in the ...

The influence of ecological factors on mosquito abundance and occurrence in Galápagos [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2018 We sampled mosquitoes across 18 sites established at different elevations and stretching from the north to the south of Isla Santa Cruz, Galápagos. Two commonly occurring species, Ae. taeniorhynchus and Cx. quinquefasciatus, were collected along with environmental variables characteristic of the trapping sites to assess their influence on mosquito ...
