OryxPopulation estimates of abundance and density are key metrics to evaluate the conservation status of wild felids and inform conservation actions. Individual identification of wild felids with camera traps has been carried out mostly for large and ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Microbial communities are composed of many rare species and a few abundant species. Considering the disproportionate importance of rare species for ecosystem functioning, it is important to understand the mechanisms structuring the rare and abundant ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The role of interspecific interactions in structuring low‐diversity helminth communities is a controversial topic in parasite ecology research. Most parasitic communities of fish are species‐poor; thus, interspecific interactions are believed to be ...

Pollinator‐mediated plant coexistence requires high levels of pollinator specialization
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 In pollen‐limited plant communities, the foraging behavior of pollinators might mediate coexistence and competitive exclusion of plant species by determining which plants receive conspecific pollen. A key question is whether realistic pollinator foraging

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Plant-soil negative feedback (NF) is a well-established phenomenon that, by preventing the dominance of a single species, allows species coexistence and promotes the maintenance of biodiversity. At community scale, localized NF may cause the formation of

Desiccation of rock pool habitats and its influence onpopulation persistence in a Daphnia metacommunity [PDF]
, 2009 Habitat instability has an important influence on species' occurrence and community composition. For freshwater arthropods that occur in ephemeral rock pools, the most drastic habitat instabilities are droughts and the intermittent availability of water.

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionBiological invasions can lead to changes in the interspecific association and coexistence patterns of plant species; however, the differences in the interspecific association characteristics of invaded plant communities in heterogeneous habitats and ...

Species coexistence through simultaneous fluctuation-dependent mechanisms. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Understanding the origins and maintenance of biodiversity remains one of biology's grand challenges. From theory and observational evidence we know that variability in environmental conditions through time is likely critical to the coexistence of ...

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

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
