The biomass–density relationship in seagrasses and its use as an ecological indicator [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2018 Biomass-density relations have been at the centre of a search for an index which describes the health of seagrass meadows. However, this search has been complicated by the intricacy of seagrass demographics and their complex biomass-density relations, a consequence mainly of their modular growth and clonality.

Drought effect on plant biomass allocation: A meta‐analysis
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Drought is one of the abiotic stresses controlling plant function and ecological stability. In the context of climate change, drought is predicted to occur more frequently in the future. Despite numerous attempts to clarify the overall effects of drought

A theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecology
Ecology, 2019 We propose four postulates as the minimum set of logical propositions necessary for a theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecosystems: (1) resource dynamics characterizes the magnitude, rate, and duration of resource change caused by pulse events,

The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]
, 2012 Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...
