Revegetation of abandoned copper mines: the role of seed banks and soil amendments [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2013
Mining is one of the main causes of environmental pollution by heavy metals and (re)vegetation of mine spoils is the most effective method of preventing wind and water erosion and the consequent spread of contaminants to surrounding areas. However, plant

Chemical cannibalistic cues make damselfly larvae hide rather than hunt

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Adopting cannibalism substantially affects individual fitness, and recognizing the presence of other cannibals provides additional benefits such as the opportunity to prepare for hunting or defense.

Dynamic changes in protist community composition along a surface water-groundwater transect in the Danube wetland Lobau, Vienna, Austria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Groundwater remains an underexplored habitat for protistan diversity and community dynamics relative to better-studied surface aquatic environments. To address this knowledge gap, we compared protistan communities at two sites, a wetland surface water ...

Shifts in Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities and Exploration Types Relate to the Environment and Fine-Root Traits Across Interior Douglas-Fir Forests of Western Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Large-scale studies that examine the responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi across biogeographic gradients are necessary to assess their role in mediating current and predicted future alterations in forest ecosystem processes.

Palm Functional Traits, Soil Fertility and Hydrology Relationships in Western Amazonia

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Quantification of multivariate trait spectra (or axes of specialization) make the definition of plant strategies more operational, which promotes trait-based theory of community assembly and the understanding of dynamics and functioning of ecosystems. We

Diversity and Ecological Functions of Anthocyanins

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Anthocyanins are well known as colorants of flowers, but many other invisible functions might have been more important during the evolution of complex biosynthesis networks in plants. The number of anthocyanin decorating enzymes, the subtle control of structural genes by numerous transcription factors, and routes of intracellular anthocyanin transport ...

Effects of Recreational Boats on Harbour Porpoise Swimming Speed and Surfacing Interval Investigated by Two Synchronised UAVs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Cetaceans are negatively affected by anthropogenic activities, including acoustic and physical disturbance from boat traffic. Behavioural responses to such disturbances are context‐dependent, and site‐specific insights are needed for effective local ...
