Distribution of Meiofauna in Bathyal Sediments Influenced by the Oxygen Minimum Zone Off Costa Rica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Ocean deoxygenation has become a topic of increasing concern because of its potential impacts on marine ecosystems, including oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) expansion and subsequent benthic effects.

Florística e fitossociologia do componente arbóreo de uma floresta ribeirinha, arroio Passo das Tropas, Santa Maria, RS, Brasil Floristic composition and structure of arboreal species in a riverine forest, Passo das Tropas River, Santa Maria, RS, Brazil

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2004
Florestas ribeirinhas são caracterizadas por alta heterogeneidade ambiental, onde diferentes fatores físicos e bióticos regulam o mosaico vegetacional. Embora sejam áreas prioritárias à conservação, devido a sua fragilidade e importância, poucos estudos ...

Community structure and diversity of demersal fish assemblages: the role of fishery

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2004
Seasonal experimental trawl surveys were carried out in the Northern Aegean and Thracian seas (NE Mediterranean, Greece), from summer 1990 to autumn 1993, during which a total of 172 fish species were caught. In these areas, fishing pressure is very high,

Predacious activity of Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in conventional and in No-till agriculture systems

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008
This study had the objective of assessing the differences in foraging activity of the predacious ants between two areas, one conventional and other with no-till agriculture systems. The research was conducted in two contiguous 1.5 ha plots in Dourados MS,

Directed network Laplacians and random graph models

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
We consider spectral methods that uncover hidden structures in directed networks. We establish and exploit connections between node reordering via (a) minimizing an objective function and (b) maximizing the likelihood of a random graph model. We focus on

Extension of Modularity Density for Overlapping Community Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Modularity is widely used to effectively measure the strength of the disjoint community structure found by community detection algorithms. Although several overlapping extensions of modularity were proposed to measure the quality of overlapping community

Biodiversity and community structure [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021
In natural plant communities, one finds ample examples of both competitive and facilitative interactions. The effect of a species A on another species B is said to be competitive (facilitative) if an increase in A ’s population size reduces (enhances) the population growth rate of B .

Coupling Between the Responses of Plants, Soil, and Microorganisms Following Grazing Exclusion in an Overgrazed Grassland

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Grazing exclusion is an effective management practice to restore grassland ecosystem functioning. However, little is known about the role of soil microbial communities in regulating grassland ecosystem functioning during long-term ecosystem restorations.
