Effects of boreal ground layer shrubs and bryophytes on the diversity, biomass and composition of lichen communities across contrasting ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
There has been much recent interest in understanding how abiotic factors such as light, nutrients, and soil moisture affect the composition and biomass of lichen communities. Meanwhile, whether and how ground layer vegetation such as bryophytes and shrubs also influence lichen communities have received much less attention, particularly regarding how ...

Quantifying community keystoneness in metacommunities under disturbance

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how metacommunities respond to natural and anthropogenic disturbances is a key objective in ecology. In this study, we introduce an analytical framework to identify communities whose extirpation triggers stronger (hereafter keystone communities) or weaker (hereafter idle communities) cascading effects on extinction and colonization events

Comparative Proteomics of Salinity Stress Responses in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluctuating salinity is symptomatic of climate change challenging aquatic species. The melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, coastal surface and groundwater salinization, and increased evaporation in arid habitats alter salinity worldwide. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as rainstorms and floods increase,
