Microhabitat preferences of Maculinea teleius (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in a mosaic landscape

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
The Scarce Large Blue (Maculinea teleius) is an endangered butterfly throughout Europe due to its special life-cycle and habitat loss. Our aims were to describe the microhabitats available to this butterfly, to test what factors influence the presence ...

Body size‐dependent effects on the distribution patterns of phoretic mite species assemblages on Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Phoretic mites attach to different body parts of the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790), to disperse. However, the question of how the patterns of attachment sites are formed remains intriguing.

Méthode des microhabitats : validation et perspectives [PDF]

Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture, 1995
La méthode des microhabitats (Instream Flow Incremental Methodology, en anglais) est l'outil actuellement le plus utilisé pour la simulation des capacités d'accueil des rivières. Elle consiste à coupler des informations obtenues à partir d'un modèle hydraulique et d'un modèle biologique. Cet outil peut s'avérer utile notamment dans les négociations qui

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

HOME RANGE AND MICROHABITAT ASSOCIATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN RED-BACKED VOLE (MYODES GAPPERI) IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FORESTS [PDF]

, 2018
Resources, such as food and shelter, are unevenly distributed across the landscape at both macro and micro scales. Home range is one measure of space use that reflects an individual’s resource requirements (e.g., microhabitat characteristics) and ...

The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2012
Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
