Geographic biases and gaps in the sampling of plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Plant–pollinator interactions are essential for maintaining biodiversity and supporting food production, yet inferences drawn from network syntheses may be shaped by where interaction data are generated and which datasets are most reused. Here, we quantify the global distribution of published plant–pollinator networks, assess how publication rates vary

Rasgos biológicos de macroinvertebrados de ríos subtropicales: patrones de variación a lo largo de gradientes ambientales espacio-temporales

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2012
Los rasgos biológicos reflejan las tácticas de los organismos como respuesta al cambio ambiental. Analizamos la organización funcional del grupo EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera y Trichoptera) en una cuenca subtropical de montaña para evaluar si sus ...

Macroecological relationships of ant diversity with increasing aridity in Australian tropical savannas: contrasting responses of epigaeic and hypogaeic assemblages

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

FRUIT REMOVAL BY LARGE AVIAN FRUGIVORES VARIES IN RELATION TO HABITAT QUALITY IN CONTINUOUS NEOTROPICAL RAINFOREST [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
∙ Animal-mediated seed dispersal shapes key ecological processes including seedling recruitment and demography. Anthropogenic activities have substantively impacted tropical habitats, yet the degree of sensitivity exhibited by different frugivores to ...

Incorporating sampling bias into ENM/SDM permutation tests: new methods and a case study on neotropical ants

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Spatial sampling bias in occurrence data can generate spurious environmental associations in models of species distributions and ecological niches, and can also undermine inferences based on permutation tests made using these models. Geographic randomization tests are often used to generate distributions of expected behavior under the null hypothesis ...

Growth Allocation Shifts in the Invasive Hydrilla verticillata Under Interspecific Competition with Native Submerged Macrophytes

open access: yesPlants
Communities with high native species diversity tend to be less susceptible to the establishment of invasive species, especially in studies that test their local impact.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE NESTING OF THE GRAY-HEADED DOVE (LEPTOTILA PLUMBEICEPS) IN A SHADE-GROWN COFFEE PLANTATION, IN VERACRUZ, MEXICO

open access: yes, 2023
The Gray-headed Dove (Leptotila plumbeiceps) is a neotropical bird distributed from northeastern Mexico to eastern Colombia; its breeding biology is virtually unknown. In May 2020, we found a pair of these doves nesting in a shade-grown coffee plantation,

Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Symbiotic Germination Technique of an Endangered Epiphytic Orchid Dendrobium sinominutiflorum: A Promising Conservation Application 濒危附生兰科植物勐海石斛 (Dendrobium sinominutiflorum) 的共生萌发技术:一种具有应用前景的保护策略

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.
