Increasing temperature weakens the positive effect of genetic diversity on population growth

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Genetic diversity and temperature increases associated with global climate change are known to independently influence population growth and extinction risk.

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,

Exploring intraspecific life history patterns in sharks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Marine ecosystems compose the major source (85%) of world fisheries production (Garcia and Newton, 1997). Although only a few fish species tend to dominate fishery catches (Jennings et al., 2001), a large diversity of fishes representing varied ...

TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits ...

Estimating macrobenthic secondary production from body weight and biomass: a field test in a non-boreal intertidal habitat [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Production (P) and biomass (B) data of different species from 3 stations in the intertidal zone of the Ria Formosa (southern Portugal, 37-degrees-N) were analysed.

Intra-specific regulatory variation in Drosophila pseudoobscura.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
It is generally accepted that gene regulation serves an important role in determining the phenotype. To shed light on the evolutionary forces operating on gene regulation, previous studies mainly focused on the expression differences between species and ...

Practice-oriented controversies and borrowed epistemic credibility in current evolutionary biology: phylogeography as a case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Although there is increasing recognition that theory and practice in science are intimately intertwined, philosophy of science perspectives on scientific controversies have been historically focused on theory rather than practice.

PPNID : a reference database and molecular identification pipeline for plant-parasitic nematodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Motivation: The phylum Nematoda comprises the most cosmopolitan and abundant metazoans on Earth and plant-parasitic nematodes represent one of the most significant nematode groups, causing severe losses in agriculture.

Predictability in evolution: Adaptation of the Bonaire anole (Anolis bonairensis) to an extreme environment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The extent to which evolution is deterministic (predictable), or random, is a fundamental question in evolution. This case study attempts to determine the extent to which interspecific divergence can be predicted from intraspecific trends related species.
