Determinants of habitat suitability models transferability across geographically disjunct populations: Insights from Vipera ursinii urs inii. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Transferability of habitat suitability models (HSMs) has been a largely debated topic in predictive ecology for the last two decades. We investigated the factors affecting HSMs https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ncf transferability across geographically disjunct populations using as a model system Vipera ursinii ursinii, a meadow viper from ...

Predictive Distribution Modeling of the Medicinal Leech <i>Hirudo verbana</i> Carena, 1820 (Hirudinea, Hirudinidae) in Sicily: Implications for Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A predictive distribution model for Hirudo verbana in Sicily was developed using 1980–2024 occurrence data and environmental variables. The species is associated with densely vegetated, high‐elevation lentic habitats and avoids human‐disturbed areas.

Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

New records of Albunea carabus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Decapoda: Anomura: Hippoidea) in the Tyrrhenian Sea, with notes on its ecology and distribution in the Italian seas

The European Zoological Journal, 2021
Twenty-four individuals of Albunea carabus (Linnaeus, 1758), a species rarely reported in the Mediterranean Sea, have recently been collected in the Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy) in hydraulic dredge surveys carried out to assess local razor clam stocks.

A procedure to update quality indices based on species abundances: an example using the EPI-L diatom index

Journal of Limnology, 2023
We propose a procedure to update ecological quality indices using species autoecology estimated by gradient analysis when new species are found, or taxonomy is updated.

AUTOECOLOGY, DIVERSITY, AND INTERNAL GENETIC STRUCTURE OF Ocotea porosa (NEES & MART.) BARROSO: SUBSIDIES FOR SEED COLLECTION [PDF]

Revista Árvore, 2023
Ecological restoration mitigates the negative effects of fragmentation and habitat loss. This practice allows the conservation of key species, such as Ocotea porosa, a tree native to the Araucaria Forest and extremely endangered.

Successional theories

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2049-2077, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Succession is a fundamental concept in ecology because it indicates how species populations, communities, and ecosystems change over time on new substrate or after a disturbance. A mechanistic understanding of succession is needed to predict how ecosystems will respond to land‐use change and to design effective ecosystem restoration strategies.

Southward Migration of Arctic Ocean Species During the Last Glacial Period

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 23, 16 December 2022., 2022
Abstract The East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) is associated with northerly surface winds affecting crop and livestock productivity and social and economic activities across East Asia. However, the relationship between EAWM dynamics and marine biota remains poorly understood.
