Network analysis identifies weak and strong links in a metapopulation system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The identification of key populations shaping the structure and connectivity of metapopulation systems is a major challenge in population ecology. The use of molecular markers in the theoretical framework of population genetics has allowed great advances

Density but not climate affects the population growth rate of guanacos (Lama guanicoe) (Artiodactyla, Camelidae) [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3h1]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
We analyzed the effects of population density and climatic variables on the rate of population growth in the guanaco (Lama guanicoe), a wild camelid species in South America.

Population ecology of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) as an invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes and an imperiled species in Europe

open access: yesReviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2016
The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus (Linnaeus) is both an invasive non-native species in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America and an imperiled species in much of its native range in North America and Europe.

Fine-scale population structure and asymmetrical dispersal in an obligate salt-marsh passerine, the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus Caudacutus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Understanding the spatial scale of gene flow can yield valuable insight into the ecology of an organism and guide conservation strategies. Fine-scale genetic structure is uncommon in migratory passerines because of their high vagility and presumed high ...

Demography of Attalea nucifera: sustainable management and conservation of a threatened species of Colombia

open access: yesCaldasia, 2020
Attalea nucifera is an acaulescent palm native of Colombia that is in risk of extinction. Between 2016-2017 we evaluated the structure and density of populations in six localities of the Magdalena river val-ley, and studied the population dynamic in the ...

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Green‐brown polymorphism in alpine grasshoppers affects body temperature

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Ectothermic animals depend on external heat sources for pursuing their daily activities. However, reaching sufficiently high temperature can be limiting at high altitudes, where nights are cold and seasons short.

Friend or foe? A parasitic wasp shifts the cost/benefit ratio in a nursery pollination system impacting plant fitness

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Nursery pollination systems are species interactions where pollinators also act as fruit/seed herbivores of the plant partner. While the plants depend on associated insects for pollination, the insects depend on the plants’ reproductive structures for ...
