Journal of Limnology, 2016 We examined the importance of environmental parameters at different spatial scales influencing the occurrence of caddisfly larvae at different levels of their organization (species, faunistic metrics and functional groups) in lentic floodplain waters, in

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Although there is considerable evidence that large mammalian herbivores influence ecosystem‐level processes, studies have reported such widely varying results that generalizations have remained elusive.

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 A major challenge of evolutionary ecology over the next decades is to understand and predict the consequences of the current rapid and important environmental changes on wild populations.

Determinants of species richness patterns in the Netherlands across multiple taxonomic groups [PDF]
, 2009 We examined the species richness patterns of five different species groups (mosses, reptiles and amphibians, grasshoppers and crickets, dragonflies, and hoverflies) in the Netherlands (41,500 km2) using sampling units of 5 × 5 km. We compared the spatial

Convergence in global environmental performance: assessing heterogeneity [PDF]
Environmental Economics and Policy Studies, 2017 This paper examines convergence in environmental/carbon performance by constructing a measure based on production theory, where production processes explicitly result in the production of two outpu ...

Environmental fitness heterogeneity in the Moran process [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Many mathematical models of evolution assume that all individuals experience the same environment. Here, we study the Moran process in heterogeneous environments. The population is of finite size with two competing types, which are exposed to a fixed number of environmental conditions.

Ecosphere, 2021 Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is an important driver of stand‐level tree diversity in temperate forests. CNDD can occur via two main processes.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Natural selection is a significant driver of population divergence and speciation of plants. Due to local adaptation to geographic regions with ecological gradients, plant populations harbored a wide range of adaptive genetic variation to enable them to ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HETEROGENEITY ON VICTIM-EXPLOITER COEVOLUTION [PDF]
Evolution, 2008 We study victim-exploiter coevolution in a spatially heterogeneous island model. In each species, fitness consequences of between-species interactions are controlled by a single haploid diallelic locus. Our emphasis is on the conditions for the maintenance of genetic variation, the dynamic patterns observed, the extent of local adaptation and genetic ...
