Host biology, ecology and the environment influence microbial biomass and diversity in 101 marine fish species [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Fish are the most diverse and widely distributed vertebrates, yet little is known about the microbial ecology of fishes nor the biological and environmental factors that influence fish microbiota.

Biomass stocks in California’s fire-prone forests: mismatch in ecology and policy
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Restoration of fire-prone forests can promote resiliency to disturbances, yet such activities may reduce biomass stocks to levels that conflict with climate mitigation goals.

Automatic image-based identification and biomass estimation of invertebrates [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Understanding how biological communities respond to environmental changes is a key challenge in ecology and ecosystem management. The apparent decline of insect populations necessitates more biomonitoring but the time-consuming sorting and identification of taxa pose strong limitations on how many insect samples can be processed.

Historical ecology with real numbers: past and present extent and biomass of an imperilled estuarine habitat [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 Historic baselines are important in developing our understanding of ecosystems in the face of rapid global change. While a number of studies have sought to determine changes in extent of exploited habitats over historic timescales, few have quantified ...

Dynamic coexistence driven by physiological transitions in microbial communities [PDF]
arXivMicrobial ecosystems are commonly modeled by fixed interactions between species in steady exponential growth states. However, microbes often modify their environments so strongly that they are forced out of the exponential state into stressed or non-growing states.

The benthic fauna: ecology, biomass and communities
, 1983 Benthos consists of all those aquatic organisms which are associated in some way with the bottom sediments. We shall, therefore, consider here only the organisms and communities inhabiting the lake sediments, reserving a study of the periphyton found on higher aquatic plants for a further chapter.

Predicting Whole Forest Structure, Primary Productivity, and Biomass Density From Maximum Tree Size and Resource Limitations [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In the face of uncertain biological response to climate change and the many critiques concerning model complexity it is increasingly important to develop predictive mechanistic frameworks that capture the dominant features of ecological communities and their dependencies on environmental factors.

Exploring a natural baseline for large‐herbivore biomass in ecological restoration [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2021 Abstract Large herbivores provide key ecosystem processes, but have experienced massive historical losses and are under intense pressure, leaving current ecosystems with dramatically simplified faunas relative to the long‐term evolutionary norm. Hampered by a shifting baseline, natural levels of large‐herbivore biomass are poorly understood and ...
