Regulation of water bodies to urban thermal environment: Evidence from Wuhan, China
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Exploring how water bodies work on the thermal environment in a real and complex urban context is of great significance to develop urban blue infrastructure (BI) system for climate adaption.

Self-segregation in heterogeneous metapopulation landscapes [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2022 Complex interactions are at the root of the population dynamics of many natural systems, particularly for being responsible for the allocation of species and individuals across apposite niches of the ecological landscapes. On the other side, the randomness that unavoidably characterises complex systems has increasingly challenged the niche paradigm ...

Collective foraging in heterogeneous landscapes [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2014 Animals foraging alone are hypothesized to optimize the encounter rates with resources through Lévy walks. However, the issue of how the interactions between multiple foragers influence their search efficiency is still not completely understood.

Diversification across a heterogeneous landscape [PDF]
Evolution, 2016 Adaptation to contrasting environments across a heterogeneous landscape favors the formation of ecotypes by promoting ecological divergence. Patterns of fitness variation in the field can show whether natural selection drives local adaptation and ecotype formation.

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Recent studies have emphasized forests as crucial habitat for wild bees. In Europe, most forests are managed following the principles of close‐to‐nature silviculture, which combine timber production and nature conservation.

Land, 2022 Arable land systems are complex ecosystems composed of cultivated land and semi-natural habitats. Retaining an appropriate proportion of semi-natural habitats in arable land systems is beneficial for enhancing landscape heterogeneity and biodiversity ...

DIVERGENT EVOLUTION OF DISPERSAL IN A HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPE [PDF]
Evolution, 2001 The evolution of dispersal is investigated in a landscape of many patches with fluctuating carrying capacities and spatial heterogeneity in temporal fluctuations. Although asynchronous temporal fluctuations select for dispersal, spatial heterogeneity in the distribution of fluctuating environmental variables selects against it.

Ecosphere, 2021 To increase the resilience of our food system, we must better understand how ecosystem services such as pest control and pollination provided by a diverse insect community contribute to crop yield.

Insects, 2020 The biology of parasitoids in natural ecosystems remains very poorly studied, though they are key species for their functioning. Here we focused on Phobocampe confusa, a Nymphalini specialist, responsible for high mortality rates in charismatic butterfly

Heterogeneity of the cancer cell line metabolic landscape [PDF]
Molecular Systems Biology, 2021 ABSTRACT The unravelling of the complexity of cellular metabolism is in its infancy. Cancer-associated genetic alterations may result in changes to cellular metabolism that aid in understanding phenotypic changes, reveal detectable metabolic signatures, or elucidate vulnerabilities to particular drugs.
