How thermal priming of coral gametes shapes fertilization success [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2023, 566,
pp.151920, 2023 Seawater temperature rise is damaging coral reef ecosystems. There is growing evidence for the negative impact of rising temperatures on the survival of adult corals and their reproductive success. However, the effect of elevated temperatures on gametes remains scarcely studied.

Sociobiology, 2016 Ecological succession is a complex processes involving changes in the structure of plant community and it is an important factor determining the structure of arboreal ants assemblages, but little is known about the effects of succession on ant ...

Generalizability of Artificial Neural Network Models in Ecological Applications: Predicting Nest Occurrence and Breeding Success of the Red-winged Blackbird Agelaius phoeniceus [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 195:94-104. 2006, 2005 Separate artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed from data in two geographical regions and years apart for a marsh-nesting bird, the red-winged blackbird Agelaius phoeniceus. Each model was independently tested on the spatially and temporally distinct data from the other region to determine how generalizable it was.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Organisms and time are important factors for rock weathering to form soils. However, weathering time is usually difficult to quantitatively study, and the potential microorganisms involved in rock weathering are difficult to identify qualitatively ...

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Ecological succession itself could be a theoretical reference for ecosystem restoration and reconstruction. Glacier forelands are ideal places for investigating plant succession because there are representative ecological succession records at long ...

Soil Microbial Networks Shift Across a High-Elevation Successional Gradient
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 While it is well established that microbial composition and diversity shift along environmental gradients, how interactions among microbes change is poorly understood.

Eco-evolution from deep time to contemporary dynamics: the role of timescales and rate modulators [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Eco-evolutionary dynamics, or eco-evolution for short, are thought to involve rapid demography (ecology) and equally rapid phenotypic changes (evolution) leading to novel, emergent system behaviours. This focus on contemporary dynamics is likely due to accumulating evidence for rapid evolution, from classical laboratory microcosms and natural ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Approximately 20% of the Brazilian Amazon has now been deforested, and the Amazon is currently experiencing the highest rates of deforestation in a decade, leading to large‐scale land‐use changes.

Machine Learning as Ecology [PDF]
, 2019 Machine learning methods have had spectacular success on numerous problems. Here we show that a prominent class of learning algorithms - including Support Vector Machines (SVMs) -- have a natural interpretation in terms of ecological dynamics. We use these ideas to design new online SVM algorithms that exploit ecological invasions, and benchmark ...

Modeling cooperation and competition in biological communities [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The far-reaching consequences of ecological interactions in the dynamics of biological communities remain an intriguing subject. For decades, competition has been a cornerstone in ecological processes, but mounting evidence shows that cooperation does also contribute to the structure of biological communities.
