Global temperature constraints on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus persistence and competence for dengue virus transmission

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Dengue is a disease that has undergone significant expansion over the past hundred years. Understanding what factors limit the distribution of transmission can be used to predict current and future limits to further dengue expansion. While not

Resource Selection by Wild and Ranched White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) during the Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (EHDV) Transmission Season in Florida

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) causes serious disease in wild and privately ranched white-tailed deer (Odocoileusvirginianus) in the United States. In Florida, there is high EHDV prevalence, yet no treatments.

Spatiotemporal variation of anthropogenic drivers predicts the distribution dynamics of Hainan gibbon

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Understanding the historical causes of species endangerment is vital, yet difficult. The Hainan gibbon Nomascus hainanus has declined in numbers dramatically in the last century, resulting in a single population on Hainan Island in China.

Factors influencing scavenger guilds and scavenging efficiency in Southwestern Montana

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Scavenging of carrion shapes ecological landscapes by influencing scavenger population demography, increasing inter- and intra-specific interactions, and generating ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and disease moderation.

Spatiotemporal snowmelt patterns within a high Arctic landscape, with implications for flora and fauna

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018
Snow conditions are important drivers of the distribution and phenology of Arctic flora and fauna, but the extent and effects of local variation in snowmelt are still inadequately studied.

Spatial Polarization of the Ecological Footprint Distribution [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
The international allocation of natural resources is determined, not by any ethical or ecological criteria, but by the dominance of market mechanisms. From a core-periphery perspective, this allocation may even be driven by historically determined structural patterns, with a core group of countries whose consumption appropriates most available natural ...

Self‐structuring in spatial evolutionary ecology [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2007
AbstractSpatial self‐structuring has been a focus of recent interest among evolutionary ecologists. We review recent developments in the study of the interplay between spatial self‐structuring and evolution. We first discuss the relative merits of the various theoretical approaches to spatial modelling in ecology.

Spatial pattern and driving factors of cropland ecosystem services in a major grain-producing region: A production-living-ecology perspective

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Exploring the spatial patterns and driving factors of cropland ecosystem services and the production-living-ecology are essential to implementing spatial zoning management and optimization, especially in major grain-producing regions.

Post-fire soil nutrient dynamics in a tropical dry deciduous forest of Western Ghats, India

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2019
Background The effect of forest fire on soil is complex and relatively less understood than its above ground effect. Understanding the effect of fire on forest soils can allow improving management of valuable forest ecosystems as adequate and proper ...
