Attachment sites of generalist ticks on birds depend on environmental factors (habitat and season) rather than on tick species

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
The aim of this investigation was to analyze predilection sites of ticks on avian hosts according to tick species and developmental stages, as well as individual and ecological characters of bird species (i.e., their age, habitat type, seasonality).

Zooplankton biodiversity and community structure vary along spatiotemporal environmental gradients in restored peridunal ponds

Journal of Limnology, 2015
Zooplankton assemblages in neighboring ponds can show important spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Disentangling the influence of regional versus local factors, and of deterministic versus stochastic processes has been recently highlighted in the ...

Detecting Critical Scales in Fragmented Landscapes

Ecology and Society, 1997
We develop methods for quantifying habitat connectivity at multiple scales and assigning conservation priority to habitat patches based on their contribution to connectivity.

Invasive species control: incorporating demographic data and seed dispersal into a management model for Rhododendron ponticum [PDF]

, 2009
Rhododendron ponticum is a serious invasive alien plant in the British Isles and is of significant conservation and economic concern. Here, we integrate information on both the life-history and spatial dynamics of this species within an individual-based,

Life path analysis: scaling indicates priming effects of social and habitat factors on dispersal distances [PDF]

, 2001
1. Movements of many animals along a life-path can be separated into repetitive ones within home ranges and transitions between home ranges. We sought relationships of social and environmental factors with initiation and distance of transition movements

Modeling the dispersal-reproduction trade-off in an expanding population [PDF]

, 2020
Trade-offs between dispersal and reproduction are known to be important drivers of population dynamics, but their direct influence on the spreading speed of a population is not well understood.

Future Representation of Species’ Climatic Niches in Protected Areas: A Case Study With Austrian Endemics

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Climate driven species’ range shifts may interfere with existing protected area (PA) networks, resulting in a mismatch between places where species are currently protected and places where they can thrive in the future.

Structural and evolutionary features of red algal UV sex chromosomes

Genome Biology
Background Sex chromosomes in red algae have remained relatively understudied, despite their fundamental role in understanding the evolution of sex determination across eukaryotes.
