Predicting distribution pattern of Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae) by hybrid neural network using particle swarm optimization algorithm [PDF]
Nowadays, with the advent of powerful statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology.

Defective subviral particles modify ecological equilibria and enhance viral coexistence
ABSTRACTCooperation is a main driver of biological complexity at all levels. In the viral world, gene sharing among viral genomes, complementation between genomes or interactions within quasispecies are frequently observed. In this contribution, we explore the advantages that flexible associations between fully fledged viruses and subviral entities ...

Copepods encounter rates from a model of escape jump behaviour in turbulence [PDF]
A key ecological parameter for planktonic copepods studies is their interspecies encounter rate which is driven by their behaviour and is strongly influenced by turbulence of the surrounding environment.

Coastal seas, including coastal bays, are the geographically critical transitional zone that links terrestrial and open oceanic ecosystems. Organic carbon cycling in this area is a dynamic and disproportionally key component in the global carbon cycle ...

Physical Connectivity Between the NE Atlantic Seamounts [PDF]
Within the Portuguese Exclusive Economic Zone, the Great Meteor and Madeira-Tore complexes are highly productive areas, which are likely to be classified as marine protected areas (MPAs) due to their ecological vulnerability.

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied
