Effects of life stage on eDNA detection of the invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) in estuarine systems

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Early and efficient detection of rare and invasive species is critical for the effective management of their populations. Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection techniques have been used for monitoring soft-bodied organisms (e.g., fishes) and some ...

Toward Ecologically Scaled Landscape Indices

The American Naturalist, 2001
Nature conservation is increasingly based on a landscape approach rather than a species approach. Landscape planning that includes nature conservation goals requires integrated ecological tools. However, species differ widely in their response to landscape change.

Mapping quasi-circular vegetation patch dynamics in the Yellow River Delta, China, between 1994 and 2016

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Because of a decrease in water provision from the Yellow River and the influence of various human actions, the Shandong Yellow River Delta Wetland, selected a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 2013, has undergone substantial degradation ...

Conventional net tow versus environmental DNA for metabarcoding-based analysis of plankton-environment interactions in polluted aquatic ecosystems

Ecological Indicators
Human societal development has caused rapid degradation of freshwater ecosystems, resulting in significant biodiversity decline globally. The conservation of aquatic ecosystems, particularly the management of biodiversity in urban areas, has become an ...

Comparisons among three diet analyses demonstrate multiple patterns in the estimated adult diet of a freshwater piscivore, Salvelinus namaycush

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Understanding trophic interactions is critical for successful resource management. However, studying diet patterns (e.g., spatial and seasonal changes) can require extensive effort.

Determining the impacts of climate change and urban expansion on net primary productivity using the spatio-temporal fusion of remote sensing data

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Climate change (CLC) and urban expansion (URE) have profoundly altered the terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP). Many studies have determined the effects of CLC and URE on the NPP.
