Road Zone Effects in Small-Mammal Communities
Ecology and Society, 2009 Our study focused on the putative effects of roads on small-mammal communities in a high desert region of southern Utah. Specifically, we tested whether or not roads create adjacent zones characterized by lower small- mammal densities, abundance, and ...

Can Rock-Rubble Groynes Support Similar Intertidal Ecological Communities to Natural Rocky Shores?
Land, 2020 Despite the global implementation of rock-rubble groyne structures, there is limited research investigating their ecology, much less than for other artificial coastal structures. Here we compare the intertidal ecology of urban (or semi-urban) rock-rubble

Ecological niche structure and rangewide abundance patterns of species [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2013 Spatial abundance patterns across species' ranges have attracted intense attention in macroecology and biogeography. One key hypothesis has been that abundance declines with geographical distance from the range centre, but tests of this idea have shown that the effect may occur indeed only in a minority of cases.

Effect of forest density on richness and diversity of spring oak gallwasps (sexual generation) at oak forests in West Azarbaijan [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2019 This research was carried out for investigating the effect of stand density on the richness and diversity of spring gallwasps species in Quercus branti stands in Sardasht forest (West Azarbaijan province).

Ecological Energetics of an Abundant Aerial Insectivore, the Purple Martin
PLoS ONE, 2013 The atmospheric boundary layer and lower free atmosphere, or aerosphere, is increasingly important for human transportation, communication, environmental monitoring, and energy production. The impacts of anthropogenic encroachment into aerial habitats are not well understood.

The structure of ant–plant ecological networks: Is abundance enough? [PDF]
Ecology, 2014 Knowledge of the mechanisms that shape biodiversity is essential to understand the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of interacting species. Recent studies posit that most of the organization of mutualistic networks is shaped by differences in species abundance among interacting species. In this study, we examined the mutualism involving plants with

Neotropical Ichthyology, 2017 Estimating population parameters is essential for understanding the ecology of species, which ultimately helps to assess their conservation status. The seahorse Hippocampus reidi is directly exposed to anthropogenic threats along the Brazilian coast, but

Diversity, 2021 Understanding the effect of nitrogen addition on species trait–abundance relationships is one of the central focuses of community ecology and can offer us insights into the mechanisms of community assembly under atmospheric nitrogen deposition.

A strong test of the Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology [PDF]
, 2013 The Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology (METE) is a unified theory of biodiversity that predicts a large number of macroecological patterns using only information on the species richness, total abundance, and total metabolic rate of the community. We evaluated four major predictions of METE simultaneously at an unprecedented scale using data from 60 ...
