Simulation and prediction of changes in tree species composition in subtropical forests of China using a nonlinear difference equation system model

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Changes in tree species composition are one of the key aspects of forest succession. In recent decades, significant changes have occurred in the tree species composition of subtropical forests in China, with a decrease in coniferous trees and an increase

A Comparison between Video and Still Imagery as a Methodology to Determine Southern Hairy-Nosed Wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) Burrow Occupancy Rates

open access: yesAnimals, 2018
Broad-scale abundance estimates of the southern hairy-nosed wombat population use a proxy measure based on counting the number of active burrows, which is multiplied by an index of ‘wombats/active burrow’.

Vegetation associations of riparian birds in successional woodlands along the regulated Missouri River

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2023
River regulation by dams on the Missouri River has modified riparian forest successional patterns, with decreases in early and increases in later seral stages and higher occurrence of invasive tree species, including Russian olive ( Elaeagnus ...

SPECIES-AREA RELATIONSHIP FOR POWER-LAW SPECIES ABUNDANCE DISTRIBUTION [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomathematics, 2012
We studied the mathematical relations between species abundance distributions (SADs) and species-area relationships (SARs) and found that a power-law SAR can be generally derived from a power-law SAD without a special assumption such as the "canonical hypothesis".

Population status and ecology of Platanthera chlorantha (Orchidaceae) in the Greater Caucasus (Azerbaijan)

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020
Long-term conservation schemes usually concern the rarest species, extremely threatened. Investigating Red Data Book species is inescapable for determining their threatened category and optimal measures for the protection.

MoB (Measurement of Biodiversity): a method to separate the scale-dependent effects of species abundance distribution, density, and aggregation on diversity change

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Little consensus has emerged regarding how proximate and ultimate drivers such as productivity, disturbance, and temperature may affect species richness and other aspects of biodiversity.

Aquatic Hemiptera of Wisconsin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
About 59,000 aquatic Hemiptera were collected in Wisconsin, most of them in the last 15 years. These include three species of Belostomatidae, 48 species of Corixidae, one species of Naucoridae, four species of Nepidae, nine species of Notonectidae, and ...

Waterbird community changes in the Wilderness Lakes, South Africa (Part 3 of 3): Diving piscivores and scavengers

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2023
Estuarine waterbodies typically support diverse and abundant waterbird communities. However, global environmental degradation as a result of anthropogenic activities is leading to species level changes in biodiversity, with top predators such as ...

How differences in plant abundance measures produce different species‐abundance distributions [PDF]

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2012
Summary1. Species‐abundance distributions (SADs) are a convenient and common method for describing ecological communities. Despite their long history and the cornucopia of theoretical models, which have been suggested to describe them, no agreement has been reached as to which models are best.2.

Weed-Species Abundance and Diversity Indices in Relation to Tillage Systems and Fertilization

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Weeds pose a major threat to world agriculture by reducing detrimentally crop yield and quality. However, at the same time, weeds are major interacting components of the agroecosystems.
