Biogeochemical analysis of ancient Pacific Cod bone suggests Hg bioaccumulation was linked to paleo sea level rise and climate change

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2015
Deglaciation at the end of the Pleistocene initiated major changes in ocean circulation and distribution. Within a brief geological time, large areas of land were inundated by sea-level rise and today global sea level is 120 m above its minimum stand ...

Ciliates in different types of pools in temperate, tropical, and polar climate zones – implications for climate change

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2021
Small water bodies are typically characterized by high diversity of various groups of microorganisms. Moreover, these ecosystems react very quickly to even the slightest climate changes (e.g. a temperature increase or water level fluctuations). Thus far,

Observability and observers in a food web

open access: yesApplied Mathematics Letters, 2007
The problem of the possibility to recover the time-dependent state of a whole population system out of the observation of certain components has been studied in earlier publications, in terms of the observability concept of mathematical systems theory. In the present note a method is proposed to effectively calculate the state process.

Cross-Ecosystem Linkages: Transfer of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids From Streams to Riparian Spiders via Emergent Insects

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential resources unequally distributed throughout landscapes. Certain PUFAs, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are common in aquatic but scarce in terrestrial ecosystems.

Comparison Between Trophic Positions in the Barents Sea Estimated From Stable Isotope Data and a Mass Balance Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The trophic position concept is central in system ecology, and in this study, trophic position (TP) estimates from stable-isotopes and an Ecopath mass-balance food web model for the Barents Sea were compared. Two alternative models for estimating TP from

Trophic coherence determines food-web stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Why are large, complex ecosystems stable? Both theory and simulations of current models predict the onset of instability with growing size and complexity, so for decades it has been conjectured that ecosystems must have some unidentified structural ...

Top‐down effects of filter‐feeding fish and bivalves moderate bottom‐up effects of nutrients on phytoplankton in subtropical shallow lakes: An outdoor mesocosm study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Biomanipulation has been widely used in the ecological restoration of eutrophic lakes for decades. However, biomanipulation is prone to failure if external nutrient loads are not reduced.

Evaluation of the effect of agroclimatic variables on the probability and timing of olive fruit fly attack

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Agroclimatic variables may affect insect and plant phenology, with unpredictable effects on pest populations and crop losses. Bactrocera oleae Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a specific pest of Olea europaea plants that can cause annual economic losses ...
