Neutral colonisations drive high beta-diversity in cavernicole springtails (Collembola). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The theory of island biogeography predicts the effects of habitat isolation and size on species richness, community assembly, and the persistence of species.

An application of the theory of island biogeography to fish speciation on seamounts [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2011 Seamounts can be considered as islands in the deep. For many species, depth is just as much a barrier to dispersal as is the water between oceanic islands. This leads to the hypothesis that seamounts could be places where speciation readily occurs. Recent advances in the theory of island biogeography have allowed some detailed predictions about the ...

Body size evolution in insular speckled rattlesnakes (Viperidae : Crotalus mitchellii) [PDF]
, 2010 Background Speckled rattlesnakes (Crotalus mitchellii) inhabit multiple islands off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. Two of the 14 known insular populations have been recognized as subspecies based primarily on body size divergence from putative ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Seasonal variation in photoperiods, energetic demands, and reproductive constraints are expected to strongly influence bat activity at high latitudes, yet empirical evidence from boreal systems is limited. We used passive acoustic monitoring to examine spatial, temporal, and feeding activity patterns of bats along a boreal river basin in Sweden (64°N ...

Effects of natural phenomena and human activity on the species richness of endemic and non-endemic Heteroptera in the Canary Islands [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004 The geographical patterns of Heteroptera species diversity in the Canary Islands were analysed, and endemic and non–endemic species were studied both together and separately.

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract In a multi‐row facility layout problem (MRFLP), facilities are arranged in more than one row under the limited layout area. Considering different layout factors, various extensions of MRFLP have been modelled. However, the orientation of input/output (I/O) point in a facility, as a key factor that plays a direct impact on flow cost, is seldom ...

A Network Perspective for Community Assembly
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Species interactions are responsible for many key mechanisms that govern the dynamics of ecological communities. Variation in the way interactions are organized among species results in different network structures, which translates into a community's ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...
