Extrapolation strategy matters when transferring ecological niche models: new visualization tools for informed decisions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are commonly used to predict species' potential distributions across space and time, allowing researchers and practitioners to assess invasion risk, estimate the impacts of future climate change, and reconstruct past distributions.

Tidal Impacts on Zooplankton Dynamics in a Major Ocean-Lagoon Channel: Insights from a 25-Hour Intensive Survey in the Cotonou Channel, Benin

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
This study investigates the effects of tidal cycles on the zooplankton community within the Cotonou Channel, an important waterway connecting the large Nokoué Lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean in Benin.

La gestion des espèces exotiques envahissantes : de la recherche d’une solution technique à la construction d’un collectif The management of invasive species: behind the technics, humans in society [PDF]

Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2012
Pour nombre de gestionnaires d'espaces naturels, la prise en compte des espèces exotiques envahissantes relève d’abord d'une question technique. Mais les approches en sciences humaines et sociales nous démontrent ici que les choix techniques dépendent ...

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Using MALDI‐FTICR Mass Spectrometry to Enhance ZooMS Identifications of Pleistocene Bone Fragments Showing Variable Collagen Preservation

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale Recent advances in high‐throughput molecular analyses of collagen peptides, especially ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry), have permitted breakthroughs in the analysis of archaeological material that is highly fragmented, a factor that hinders morphological identification.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Les invasions biologiques dans le Parc naturel régional de Brière : présentation d'une recherche-action Biological invasions in the natural regional Reserve of Brière: applied research for management [PDF]

Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2012
Sur le territoire du parc naturel régional de Brière, les invasions biologiques ne sont pas un phénomène nouveau et les conséquences s’avèrent d’ores et déjà importantes écologiquement, humainement et économiquement.

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

And then there was us Et puis nous sommes apparus

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In 1987, the academic conference ‘Origins and Dispersals of Modern Humans: Behavioural and Biological Perspectives’ was held in Cambridge, UK. Subsequently referred to as the ‘Human Revolution’ conference, this meeting brought together the most prominent academics working in the field of human origins, including archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists,

From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.
