Oribatid assemblies of tropical high mountains on some points of the “Gondwana-Bridge” – a case study [PDF]
This work is the first part of a series of studies, which introduces the methodological possibilities of coenological and zoogeographical indication and – following the climate, vegetation and elevation zones – the pattern-describing analysis of the main

Autoecology of the Ruderal Weed Heterotheca grandiflora With Emphasis on Germination Dimorphism [PDF]
Weedy species, as they occupy diverse and unpredictable environments, are expected to possess considerable variability in numerous characteristics, including germination. The visually dimorphic achenes of Heterotheca grandiflora Nutt. (Asteraceae) were tested for potentially adaptive differences in their germination, the establishment of the resulting ...

Up-beat motion in swimming limbs: New insights into assessing movement of free-living marine vertebrates. [PDF]
A new system is presented for assessing the movement of animal limbs including, after suitable calibration, quantification of limb stroke frequency and amplitude, which may be used to derive limb angular velocity and acceleration.

Autoecological study of Ricinodendron heudelotii (Baill) Pierre et Pax. in Agulli forest
Autoecology seeks to explain how, or to what extent species are regulated in nature, why some are common, others, rare, and why some remain relatively rare over many consecutive generations. Timber and non-timber resources have suffered serious decline due to unregulated exploitation. More than 11million hectares of mature tropical forest are converted
