Environmental heterogeneity shapes the C and S cycling-associated microbial community in Haima's cold seeps [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Environmental heterogeneity in cold seeps is usually reflected by different faunal aggregates. The sediment microbiome, especially the geochemical cycling-associated communities, sustains the ecosystem through chemosynthesis.

Similar fish species composition despite larger environmental heterogeneity during severe hypoxia in a coastal ecosystem [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Environmental heterogeneity is one of the most influential factors that create compositional variation among local communities. Greater compositional variation is expected when an environmental gradient encompasses the most severe conditions where ...

Structural modifications in Bermuda grass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] ecotypes for adaptation to environmental heterogeneity [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionIt is well known that different ecotypes adopt different mechanisms to survive under environmental stress conditions. In this regard, each ecotype showed different type of modifications for their existence in a specific habitat that reflects ...

Environmental heterogeneity and commodity sharing in smallholder agroecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Smallholder farmers undertake a number of strategies to cope with climate shocks in a community. The sharing of resources across households constitutes one coping mechanism when environmental shocks differentially impact households. This paper investigates commodity sharing dynamics among households in eight communities in an environmentally ...

Environmental factors determining the diversity of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in arid, high-altitude environments in Northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Factors influencing the diversity of tenebrionid beetles in arid, high-altitude environments in the northwest of Argentina are little-known. Using pitfall traps and suction sampling in 30 sites, we collected these beetles in Altos Andes (AA) and Puna (PU)

Effects of Habitat Heterogeneity and Topographic Variation on Insect Pest Risks in Alpine Regions
Land, 2023 Insect pests pose a significant threat to alpine ecosystems, especially under rapid environmental change conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the effects of environmental factors on insect pest risks and provide methods for pest management ...

ENVIRONMENTAL HETEROGENEITY ENHANCES CLONAL INTERFERENCE [PDF]
Evolution, 2008 Clonal interference (CI) is a phenomenon that may be important in several asexual microbes. It occurs when population sizes are large and mutation rates to new beneficial alleles are of significant magnitude. Here we explore the role of gene flow and spatial heterogeneity in selection strength in the adaptation of asexuals.

Heterogeneous responsiveness to environmental stimuli*
Behavioral Ecology, 2023 AbstractIndividuals of a species cope with environmental variability through behavioral adjustments driven by individuals’ responsiveness to environmental stimuli. Three key empirical observations have been made for many animal species: Thecoexistenceof different degrees of responsiveness within one species; theconsistencyof an individual’s degree of ...
