Mind the uncertainty: Global plate model choice impacts deep‐time palaeobiological studies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3007-3019, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Global plate models (GPMs) aim to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Earth by modelling the motion of the plates and continents through time. These models enable palaeobiologists to study the past distribution of extinct organisms. However, different GPMs exist that vary in their partitioning of the Earth's surface and the modelling of ...

Overlooked species diversity in the hyper‐arid Sahara Desert unveiled by dryland‐adapted lizards

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 101-115, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Hyper‐arid sandy and rocky fields rank among the least biologically diverse habitats of the desert biome, yet knowledge of local biodiversity patterns is also extremely poor. In the Sahara Desert, palaeoclimate oscillations affected the extent of hyper‐arid habitats, but it is unclear how these dynamics determined the evolution and ...

Responses of 73 Ecologists Important in Developing the Foundations of Ecology: Summary of a 1952–59 and 1972 Survey

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 103, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Many of the early leading ecologists, especially Americans, were surveyed (primarily between 1952 and 1959) to learn what (1) initially inspired an ecological interest, (2) stimulated a major career direction in ecology, and (3) was one’s major career accomplishment.

World Flora Online: Placing taxonomists at the heart of a definitive and comprehensive global resource on the world's plants

TAXON, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 1311-1341, December 2020., 2020
Abstract It is time to synthesize the knowledge that has been generated through more than 260 years of botanical exploration, taxonomic and, more recently, phylogenetic research throughout the world. The adoption of an updated Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2011 provided the essential impetus for the development of the World Flora ...

Release of Aphidius rhopalosiphi (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) for cereal aphid control: field cage experiments

European Journal of Entomology, 2000
The potential of the parasitoid Aphidius rhopalosiphi for controlling cereal aphids was tested in 16 m2 field cage experiments in 1998 and 1999. In the first year, aphids and parasitoids were released in cages containing naturally occurring populations ...

Typologie et dynamique forestières: Un exemple en Barousse (Hautes Pyrénées)

Pirineos: Revista de Ecología de Montaña, 1996
[fr] L'analyse phytoécologique de hêtraies des Pyrénées Centrales (Barousse) montre que ce sont surtout les variations des conditions hydriques qui déterminent, sur un même substrat colluvial, les différentes unités stationnelles observées.

Interspecific and interpopulation variation in individual diet specialization: Do environmental factors have a role?

Ecology, Volume 101, Issue 8, August 2020., 2020
Abstract Individual diet specialization (IS) has important community‐ and population‐level implications and its ecological drivers are actively investigated. Here, to test the hypothesis that local environmental conditions may influence IS in wild populations, we analyzed the stomach contents of 395 individuals from eight populations of five allopatric

Description de Nosopsyllus (N.) Atsbi n. sp. (Siphonaptera : Ceratophyllidae) d’Éthiopie et révision de l’espèce affine N. (N.) Incisus (Jordan & Rothschild, 1913) ; discussion biogéographique

Parasite, 2012
Nous décrivons un Nosopsyllus s. sto. nouveau du nord de l’Éthiopie, N. atsbi, montrant des ressemblances phylétiques avec N. incisus (Jordan & Rothschild, 1913), espèce cantonnée à la partie orientale de la région afrotropicale.

Mitochondrial ghost lineages blur phylogeography and taxonomy of Natrix helvetica and N. natrix in Italy and Corsica

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 395-411, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Grass snakes are widely distributed across the Western Palearctic. Recent phylogeographic studies provided evidence that three distinct parapatric species exist. Two of these occur in Italy, Natrix helvetica and N. natrix, and a contact zone between both taxa has been suggested for north‐eastern Italy.

Performances de germination et de croissance de trois provenances du tamarinier (Tamarindus indica L.) en région Guinéo-Congolaise

Revue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2021
Cet essai a été conduit en région Guinéo-Congolaise au Bénin afin d’évaluer la variation de l’aptitude des semences et des juvéniles du tamarinier à germer et à croitre en fonction des provenances écologiques.
