Intercropping collard plants with coriander modulates behavioral interactions among aphidophagous predators by altering microhabitat structure

open access: yes, 2022
Intercrops increase microhabitat structural complexity and may affect the strength of intraguild predation, facilitating the coexistence of species in aphidophagous guilds that share similar resources.

Bringing the Lab to the Field: Exploring Water‐Borne Corticosterone as a Physiological Indicator in Captive and Wild Common Frog Larvae (Rana temporaria)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing physiological condition in wild populations is important for understanding how environmental variation shapes organismal performance. Water‐borne corticosterone (WB‐CORT) sampling shows promise for studying amphibian stress physiology, but its ecological relevance and limitations require evaluation, particularly when methods ...

Body Size and Habitat Association as Determinants for Water Balance, Temperature Relations, and Behavioral Performance in Leptodactylid Frogs

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The association between species' habitat preferences (e.g., aquatic, terrestrial, arboreal) and traits related to body temperature regulation and water balance has been relatively well studied in anurans. However, whether such associations hold for species occupying the same general habitat while differing in other relevant functional ...

Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Body temperature depends on air and microhabitat temperatures.

open access: yes, 2016
Results of generalized additive models (GAM) testing the dependence of body-to-air temperature excess Tb − Ta on air temperature Ta and body-to-microhabitat temperature excess Tb − Tm on microhabitat temperature Tm for individual species of Erebia ...

Biochar and Hydrochar as Soil‐Based Carbon Sequestration Technologies: Implications for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar and hydrochar have emerged as promising carbon‐based amendments for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This review synthesizes and critically compares current knowledge on the production technologies, physicochemical properties, stabilization mechanisms, carbon persistence, and life‐cycle ...

Uso del microhábitat por hembras grávidas de la rana de hojarasca Craugastor loki en la selva alta perennifolia de Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, México Microhabitat use by the leaf litter frog Craugastor loki gravid females in the tropical rainforest at Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2009
Craugastor loki es la especie de anfibio más abundante en la selva alta perennifolia de Los Tuxtlas, registrándose 1 251 individuos (58% adultos) durante un año de muestreo a lo largo de gran variedad de microhábitats en 6 fragmentos de selva. A pesar de

Principal component analysis (PCA) of microhabitat variables.

open access: yes, 2015
Eigenvalues were 2.7 and 2.0 for PC1 and PC2 respectively, explaining 30 and 22% of the variance in microhabitat characteristics, respectively. Variables with values greater than 0.3 are considered to contribute strongly to the axes and are represented ...

Microhabitat change drives diversification in pholcid spiders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Microhabitat changes are thought to be among the main drivers of diversification. However, this conclusion is mostly based on studies on vertebrates.
