Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]

, 2013
Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.

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 ...

Spatial mechanisms promoting plant coexistence. the role of dispersal and competition [PDF]

, 2009
One of the great challenges in ecology is to explain how large numbers of plant species are able to coexist in natural communities. The role of spatial structure for maintaining plant coexistence has so far mainly been explored by theory.

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.
