GUBIC: The global urban biological invasions compendium for plants
By integrating multiple data sources, we compiled a Global Urban Biological Invasions Compendium (GUBIC) for vascular plants representing 553 urban centres from 61 countries across every continent except Antarctica. This database includes 8140 non‐native plant species from 253 families.

Servicesheds connect people to the landscapes upon which they depend
Abstract Ecosystem services (ES) are benefits people receive from nature. To sustain these benefits, we need to spatially connect communities benefitting from specific ES with landscape features that generate the ES. A variety of process‐based models support ES assessments by estimating the biophysical supply of ES that comes from landscapes.

Abstract North America is characterized by an expansive continental plain that has been described as platter‐flat. Yet this central continental plain includes isolated uplands that some people call mountains. The hill‐mountain muddle is a classic problem of geomorphology, arising from the challenge of discriminating continuous, attached forms.

Amélioration des méthodes de dimensionnement des ouvrages de génie végétal en berges de cours d’eau par une approche empirique [PDF]
Entre terre et eau, les berges sont des milieux d'une grande richesse floristique et faunistique qui jouent un rôle majeur de corridors biologiques. Si l’érosion des berges est un phénomène naturel qui contribue à la dynamique et à la diversité des cours

Abstract Development of high‐resolution temperature models in mountain environments must include consideration of the influence of complex topography and seasonality on thermal distribution across horizontal and vertical scales. Small‐bodied organisms, including arthropods, in montane and alpine ecosystems inhabit environments for which local ...

The Demographic Basis of Population Growth: A 32‐Year Transient Life Table Response Experiment
We examined how transient dynamics influence empirical understanding of the links between changes in demographic rates and population growth using a 32‐year study of Columbian ground squirrels. Over a rapid 10‐year increase, followed by a 2‐year crash, and a gradual 19‐year recovery, transient LTRE showed that demographic stochasticity accounted for ...

État de l'art des techniques de génie végétal pour contrôler les renouées
Basées sur l'utilisation des effets compétitifs des végétaux indigènes, les techniques de génie écologique visent à la fois le contrôle du développement des renouées asiatiques et la restauration d'une communauté végétale diversifiée dans les zones ...

Abstract Aim Human‐induced environmental changes result in habitat loss and fragmentation, impacting wildlife population genetic structure and evolution. Urbanised and geographically peripheral areas often represent unfavourable environments, reducing connectivity among populations and causing higher population genetic differentiation and lower intra ...

This study explores whether males and females of an ecologically important copepod differ in their ability to withstand the isolated and combined effects of hypoxia and marine heatwave events. We report that males appear more vulnerable than females to the conditions tested, providing first‐hand evidence of the importance of considering sex‐specific ...

Why are there so many definitions of eutrophication?
Abstract Because of the first observations in the 1900s of the oligotrophic and eutrophic states of lakes, researchers have been interested in the process that makes lakes become turbid because of high phytoplankton biomass. Definitions of eutrophication have multiplied and diversified since the mid‐20th century, more than for any other ecological ...
