Variation in Sphingomonas traits across habitats and phylogenetic clades

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Whether microbes show habitat preferences is a fundamental question in microbial ecology. If different microbial lineages have distinct traits, those lineages may occur more frequently in habitats where their traits are advantageous.

Effects of decadal climate variability on spatiotemporal distribution of Indo-Pacific yellowfin tuna population

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Spatial variations in tuna population and abundance are strongly linked to large-scale climate fluctuations, such as the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO).

Genome size evolution of the extant lycophytes and ferns

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2022
Ferns and lycophytes have remarkably large genomes. However, little is known about how their genome size evolved in fern lineages. To explore the origins and evolution of chromosome numbers and genome size in ferns, we used flow cytometry to measure the ...

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

Deforestation within breeding ranges may still drive population trends of migratory forest birds in the East Asian Flyway

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The East Asian Flyway (EAF) is the most species diverse of global flyways, with deforestation in its migratory landbird’s non-breeding range suspected to be the main driver of population decline.

Zur Autökologie der Spinnen (Arachnida: Araneae). I. Charakteristik der Habitatausstattung und Präferenzverhalten epigäischer Spinnenarten

open access: yesArachnologische Mitteilungen, 1991
The preferences to several properties of habitats (4 levels of humidity and light exposure, 7 kinds of habitat structure and 7 types of biotops) are given in form of an ecogramm for 320 species of spiders living in strata near the ground. A simple method

Interspecific aggression and habitat partitioning in garter snakes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Defense of a limited resource, such as space or food, has recently been discovered in snakes and has been widely documented in lizards. Garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.) are historically considered generalist predators such that food is not a limiting ...

Why some plant species are rare. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Biodiversity, including plant species diversity, is threatened worldwide as a result of anthropogenic pressures such as an increase of pollutants and climate change. Rare species in particular are on the verge of becoming extinct.
