Does habitat modification impact morphology, performance, and inflammatory responses in an amphibian with limited dispersal capacity (Lisssotriton helveticus)? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We studied the impact of habitat modifications on Palmate newt populations in the Ile de France region across four types of habitats: urban, mixed, agricultural, and natural. For each habitat, we measured the morphology of newts, quantified maximal running and swimming speed and acceleration, and quantified the immune response. Abstract The environment

Nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly and functional trait space in tropical forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 1218-1230, June 2023., 2023
Our results demonstrate that soil nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly in tropical forests, a process mediated by key functional traits within the leaf and wood economics spectrum. Functional space size and its filling increase with soil nutrient concentration, whereas niche vacancy decreases.

The importance of communal forests in carbon storage: Using and destabilizing carbon measurement in understanding Guatemala's payments for ecosystem services

Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 106-123, Spring / printemps 2023., 2023
Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are a conservation initiative that offer payments to people who own or manage lands that provide desired ecosystem services. Utilizing mixed methods, I examine how PES in the form of government‐issued forestry incentives interact with land tenure to affect carbon storage in Guatemala's Western Highlands.

Above‐ and belowground drivers of intraspecific trait variability across subcontinental gradients for five ubiquitous forest plants in North America

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 7, Page 1590-1605, July 2022., 2022
By studying how ITV is structured along environmental gradients among species adapted to a wide range of conditions, we can begin to understand how individual species might respond to environmental change. Our results show that generalisable trait–environment relationships occur primarily aboveground, and only accounted for a small proportion of ...

Pull the trigger: interplay between benthic and pelagic cues driving the early recruitment of a natural bivalve assemblage

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Larval settlement and recruitment are crucial phases in the benthic‐pelagic life cycle of marine benthic invertebrates that controls population dynamic and habitat connectivity. Our study investigated potential triggers driving the settlement of bivalve larvae in a highly dynamic intertidal coarse sand habitat.

Benefits of protected areas for nonbreeding waterbirds adjusting their distributions under climate warming

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 834-845, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Climate warming is driving changes in species distributions and community composition. Many species have a so‐called climatic debt, that is, shifts in range lag behind shifts in temperature isoclines. Inside protected areas (PAs), community changes in response to climate warming can be facilitated by greater colonization rates by warm‐dwelling

Coupe progressive dans un peuplement mixte boréal : effets après 5 ans de la coupe finale sur le développement des drageons de tremble et des conifères dégagés

The Forestry Chronicle, 2019
Nous avons utilisé la coupe progressive en deux phases afin de dégager la régénération résineuse préétablie et de limiter le drageonnement du peuplier faux-tremble (Populus tremuloides) dans un peuplement mixte stratifié de trembles et de conifères. Dans

The impact of fire and elephants on a mixed woodland in Liwonde National Park, Malawi: the results of a thirty-seven year study

Pachyderm, 2017
Shortly after Liwonde National Park was gazetted in 1973, the influence of fire and elephant foraging was expected to be the priority management consideration.
