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 ...

Control efforts of crown‐of‐thorns starfish outbreaks to limit future coral decline across the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Crown‐of‐thorns starfish (CoTS) naturally occur on coral reefs throughout the Indo‐Pacific region. On Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR), outbreaks of CoTS populations are responsible for ecologically significant losses of corals, and while they have ...

The spatial ecology of free-ranging domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in western Kenya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background In many parts of the developing world, pigs are kept under low-input systems where they roam freely to scavenge food. These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments.

SPATIAL ECOLOGY AND HABITAT USE OF THE WESTERN MASSASAUGA (SISTRURUS TERGEMINUS) IN NEBRASKA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We used radiotelemetry during 2004 and 2005 to investigate seasonal movements and habitat use and to improve our understanding of how land management practices were affecting Western Massasauga (Sistrurus tergeminus) populations in Nebraska.

Optimization of Microclimate Conditions Considering Urban Morphology and Trees Using ENVI-Met: A Case Study of Cairo City

open access: yesLand, 2023
This research aims to optimize the use of trees to enhance microclimate conditions, which has become necessary because of climate change and its impacts, especially for cities suffering from extreme heat stress, such as Cairo.

Disentangling the effects of geographic and ecological isolation on genetic differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Populations can be genetically isolated both by geographic distance and by differences in their ecology or environment that decrease the rate of successful migration.

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.
