How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Effects of supplementing diet with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP100 on growth, gut health, immunity, and disease resistance in Scatophagus argus

Frontiers in Microbiology
The application of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP100 in Scatophagus argus, including its effective dietary, remains unclear. This study evaluated the effects of dietary LP100 supplementation at 1.1 × 106, 1.1 × 107, 1.1 × 108, and 1.1 × 109 CFU/g to ...

Tree species co‐occurrence patterns change across grains: insights from a subtropical forest

Ecosphere, 2018
Co‐occurrence is a basic measure of spatial relationships between species. This commonly used measure has many benefits and limitations, yet a basic property that can strongly affect it has been overlooked.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Extreme Warming Coordinately Shifts Root and Leaf Traits of Alpine Plants toward Conservatism

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability
Climate change-induced shifts in plant functional traits can profoundly affect the stability of plant communities and ecosystem functions. However, the way in which leaf and root traits coordinate in response to climate extremes remains poorly understood.

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Climatological effects on survival, recruitment, and possible extirpation of a Sierra Nevada anuran

Climate Change Ecology
The drivers of population dynamics are a primary interest of ecologists, and predicting the consequences of climate variability on wildlife populations benefits from an understanding of how weather causes variation in the vital rates of populations ...

Microbial ecology at the International Space Station: the use of rapid and easy molecular methods for the quantitative detection of bacteria [PDF]

, 2019
Bij lange, bemande ruimtemissies, bijvoorbeeld naar Mars, kan gevaar schuilen in de kleinste hoekjes. Dat blijkt uit het promotieonderzoek van Sandra van Tongeren. Zij stelt onder meer vast dat al bij kortdurende ruimtemissies opmerkelijke veranderingen optreden in de hoeveelheden en soorten micro-organismen in en op het lichaam van de ruimtevaarder ...
