Rosario: An algorithm to analyse cyclical data in Ecology [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Temporal niche overlap can be effectively studied using null models, which are statistical tools that randomise ecological data to reveal underlying patterns.

Contrasting diversity patterns of breeding Anatidae in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
For sustaining ecosystem functions and services, environmental conservation strategies increasingly target to maintain the multiple facets of biodiversity, such as functional diversity (FD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD), not just taxonomic diversity ...

Envelope tests for spatial point patterns with and without simulation

Ecosphere, 2016
Model testing is a central step of spatial point pattern analysis, which allows ecologists to judge if their data agree with ecological hypotheses. We present a simple and elegant solution of a challenging problem: the construction of a goodness‐of‐fit ...

Dispersal limitation determines the ecological processes that regulate the seasonal assembly of bacterial communities in a subtropical river

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bacteria play a crucial role in pollutant degradation, biogeochemical cycling, and energy flow within river ecosystems. However, the underlying mechanisms governing bacterial community assembly and their response to environmental factors at seasonal ...

Evidence of limiting similarity revealed using a conservative assessment of coexistence

Ecosphere, 2019
The concept of limiting similarity is important in ecology because it encapsulates the expectation under niche theory that differences among species are fundamental to coexistence. A growing body of research has tested for evidence of limiting similarity,

Comparison Between Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Traditional Survey Method to Identify Community Composition and Assembly of Stream Fish

Ecology and Evolution
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been widely used in freshwater systems, contributing to the advancements in the monitoring of fish diversity and community species composition. Nevertheless, the accuracy and reliability of eDNA metabarcoding in
