PLANT SPECIES COMPOSITION OF THE FLOODPLAIN VEGETATION IN THE SONGKHLA LAKE BASIN

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology
ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - Floodplain vegetation in the Songkhla Lake Basin comprises 109 vascular plant species grouped into five community types. - Inundation depth and human disturbance are the main factors shaping plant community composition.

Native and Non-Native Populations Respond Unevenly to River Barrier Removals. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
While barrier removals restore river connectivity and promote recovery of native populations, they may also facilitate non‐native species, creating a ‘connectivity conundrum’. Using a systematic review and meta‐analysis, we show that both native and non‐native populations can benefit from barrier removal, with outcomes being context‐dependent ...

Strategic conservation prioritization through creating and updating the regional species of greatest conservation need list in the northeastern United States

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is declining globally, underscoring the need for conservation strategies informed by regional expertise. In the northeastern United States, 14 state wildlife agencies and taxonomic experts developed the Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list, revealing that global and national datasets captured only ~55% of regionally ...

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.

Nitrogen removal and the fate of Nitrate in Riparian buffer zones [PDF]

, 2001
Riparian buffer zones, adjacent to waterways, may protect water quality by intercepting and removing nitrogen in runoff from agricultural land. This research comprised four parts: (1) a field study of nitrogen buffering by differently vegetated riparian ...

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Gaining ground: survival of native estuarine fauna exposed to recycled glass sand, a potential material for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the potential for using recycled glass sand as a resource for restoring Louisiana's coastline by testing the effects of exposure of native estuarine fauna to recycled glass sand and other sand treatments in a laboratory environment.
