Modelling the Potential Geographic Distribution of Two Trissolcus Species for the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Halyomorpha halys

open access: yesInsects, 2021
The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is native to northeast Asia. It was accidentally introduced to Europe and North America, where it has become a key pest, feeding on many important crops.

Formation of iron sulfide at faecal pellets and other microniches within suboxic surface sediment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Faecal pellet deposition and bioturbation may lead to heterogeneously distributed particles of localized highly reactive organic matter (microniches) being present below the oxygen penetration depth.

Can Ecological Interactions be Inferred from Spatial Data? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The characterisation and quantication of ecological interactions, and the construction of species distributions and their associated ecological niches, is of fundamental theoretical and practical importance.

Mabea dalyana (Euphorbiaceae-Hippomaneae): a new subshrub with xylopodia endemic to the savannas of the Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2022
During fieldwork in the Campos Amazônicos National Park, Amazonas state, Brazil, a new endemic species of Mabea was collected in savanna areas. Field collections and specimens in RON, MG, and HRCB were analyzed. To understand the species distribution and

Mechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area ...

Determining conservation priority areas for Palearctic passerine migrant birds in sub-Saharan Africa

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2017
Migratory bird species breeding in the Palearctic and overwintering in sub-Saharan Africa face multiple conservation challenges. As a result, many of these species have declined in recent decades, some dramatically.

Ecological niches in the polyploid complex Linum suffruticosum s.l.

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionThe high frequency of polyploidy in the evolutionary history of many plant groups occurring in the Mediterranean region is likely a consequence of its dynamic paleogeographic and climatic history.

Environmental Niche Adaptation Revealed Through Fine Scale Phenological Niche Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, 2019
ABSTRACTAimPhenology, the temporal response of a population to its climate, is a crucial behavioral trait shared across life on earth. How species adapt their phenologies to climate change is poorly understood but critical in understanding how species will respond to future change.
