Genetic sorting of subordinate species in grassland modulated by intraspecific variation in dominant species.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Genetic variation in a single species can have predictable and heritable effects on associated communities and ecosystem processes, however little is known about how genetic variation of a dominant species affects plant community assembly.

Wild species housed in Animal Sorting Centers/Acre: conservationist implications

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, 2016
: The Wild Animal Sorting Centers – CETAS are institutions responsible for receiving wild animals. They animals were rescued from domestic captivity, from seizures during inspections by government agents in actions against illegal trafficking, and from ...

Species Sorting of Benthic Invertebrates in a Salinity Gradient - Importance of Dispersal Limitation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2016
The relative importance of environment and dispersal related processes for community assembly has attracted great interest over recent decades, but few empirical studies from the marine/estuarine realm have examined the possible effects of these two types of factors in the same system.

Sorting of multiple molecular species on cell membranes

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2023
Eukaryotic cells maintain their inner order by a hectic process of distillation of molecular factors taking place on the surface of their lipid membranes. To understand the properties of this molecular sorting process, a physical model of the process has been recently proposed [arXiv:1811.06760], based on (a) the phase separation of a single, initially

Temporal Changes in the Role of Species Sorting and Evolution Determine Community Dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Lett
Abstract The understanding of when and how ecological and evolutionary processes structure communities is a central goal in ecology. Both evolutionary changes within community members and shifts in species composition via species sorting can contribute to the dynamics of community traits and composition over time.

Effect of Water Chemistry, Land Use Patterns, and Geographic Distances on the Spatial Distribution of Bacterioplankton Communities in an Anthropogenically Disturbed Riverine Ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The spatial distribution of bacterioplankton communities in rivers is driven by multiple environmental factors, including local and regional factors.

Invasive species denialism: Sorting out facts, beliefs, and definitions [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
AbstractIn the last decades, thousands of investigations confirmed the detrimental effects of species translocated by man outside of their native ranges (nonindigenous species, or NIS). However, results concluding that many NIS have null, neutral, or positive impacts on the biota and on human interests are as common in the scientific literature as ...

Environment and Space Rule, but Time Also Matters for the Organization of Tropical Pond Metacommunities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Metacommunities are dynamic systems, but the influence of time independently of environmental change in their configuration has been rarely considered.

LIST-S2: taxonomy based sorting of deleterious missense mutations across species [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2020
Abstract The separation of deleterious from benign mutations remains a key challenge in the interpretation of genomic data. Computational methods used to sort mutations based on their potential deleteriousness rely largely on conservation measures derived from sequence alignments. Here, we introduce LIST-S2, a successor to our previously

The Genealogical Sorting Index and species delimitations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
AbstractThe Genealogical Sorting Index (gsi) has been widely used in species-delimitation studies, where it is usually interpreted as a measure of the degree to which each of several predefined groups of specimens display a pattern of divergent evolution in a phylogenetic tree.
