Discovery of continental-scale travelling waves and lagged synchrony in geometrid moth outbreaks prompt a re-evaluation of mountain birch/geometrid studies [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1sb]

F1000Research, 2013
The spatio-temporal dynamics of populations of two 9-10 year cyclic-outbreaking geometrids, Operophtera brumata and Epirrita autumnata in mountain birch forests in northern Fennoscandia, have been studied since the 1970´s by a Swedish-Norwegian research ...

Domestic dog demographic structure and dynamics relevant to rabies control planning in urban areas in Africa: the case of Iringa, Tanzania [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background Mass vaccinations of domestic dogs have been shown to effectively control canine rabies and hence human exposure to rabies. Knowledge of dog population demography is essential for planning effective rabies vaccination programmes ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Phenotypic plasticity, heritability, and genotype-by-environment interactions in an insect dispersal polymorphism

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Evolutionary fitness is determined by the match between an organism’s phenotype and its local environment. When mismatched, individuals may disperse to more suitable habitats.

Population Biology and Ecology of the Sole

Natural Resources Modeling, 2001
ABSTRACT. The sole (Solea solea) is a typical temperate marine flatfish. Population numbers have been significantly reduced, by fishing, before biological sampling was routinely established. There is thus an inadequate description of the demographic processes with changing population density. Nevertheless, it is possible to see some changes in weight,

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Frontiers in Population Ecology of Microtine Rodents : a Pluralistic Approach to the Study of Population Ecology [PDF]

, 1998
Current challenges for the study of population ecology of microtine rodents are reviewed. Comparisons with other taxonomic groups (insects, birds, large mammals) are given throughout. A major challenge is to link patterns and processes (i.e.

Air Pollution and the Risk and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Air pollution has been linked to several neurological conditions, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence regarding its association with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains conflicting, limited by small sample sizes. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL) were searched on ...

Spatial variation in invasive silver carp population ecology throughout the upper Mississippi River basin*

, 2020
Understanding spatial variation in non‐native fish species population ecology is imperative, where environmental, biotic and invasion‐related mechanisms contribute to spatial heterogeneity.

Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function: Road Ecology is Moving toward Larger Scales [PDF]

, 2011
Road ecology has developed into a significant branch of ecology with steady growth in the number of refereed journal articles, books, conferences, symposia, and "best practice" guidelines being produced each year. The main objective of this special issue
