Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 For many conifer species in dry conifer forests of North America, seeds must be present for postfire regeneration to occur, suggesting that seed dispersal from surviving trees plays a critical role in postfire forest recovery. However, the application of

Evolving Digital Ecological Networks
PLoS Computational Biology, 2013 "It is hard to realize that the living world as we know it is just one among many possibilities" [1]. Evolving digital ecological networks are webs of interacting, self-replicating, and evolving computer programs (i.e., digital organisms) that experience the same major ecological interactions as biological organisms (e.g., competition, predation ...

Molecular ecological network analyses [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2012 AbstractBackgroundUnderstanding the interaction among different species within a community and their responses to environmental changes is a central goal in ecology. However, defining the network structure in a microbial community is very challenging due to their extremely high diversity and as-yet uncultivated status.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Shrubs are the main species in desert ecosystems. Better understanding shrubs fine root dynamics and its contribution to soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks can improve the accuracy of carbon sequestration estimation and provide basic data for the ...

Functional Molecular Ecological Networks [PDF]
mBio, 2010 ABSTRACT Biodiversity and its responses to environmental changes are central issues in ecology and for society. Almost all microbial biodiversity research focuses on “species” richness and abundance but not on their interactions. Although a network approach is powerful in describing ecological interactions among species, defining

Collapse of an ecological network in Ancient Egypt [PDF]
, 2014 The dynamics of ecosystem collapse are fundamental to determining how and why biological communities change through time, as well as the potential effects of extinctions on ecosystems.

Network ecology in dynamic landscapes [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 Network ecology is an emerging field that allows researchers to conceptualize and analyse ecological networks and their dynamics. Here, we focus on the dynamics of ecological networks in response to environmental changes. Specifically, we formalize how network topologies constrain the dynamics of ecological systems into a unifying framework in network ...

Assessment of the vulnerability of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Assessing ecosystem vulnerability to climate change is critical for sustainable and adaptive ecosystem management. Alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are considered to be vulnerable to climate change, yet the ecosystem tends to maintain ...
