Priming effect: bridging the gap between terrestrial and aquatic ecology

open access: yesEcology, 2010
Understanding how ecosystems store or release carbon is one of ecology's greatest challenges in the 21st century. Organic matter covers a large range of chemical structures and qualities, and it is classically represented by pools of different recalcitrance to degradation.

Intermittent pool beds are permanent cyclic habitats with distinct wet, moist and dry phases. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Recognition that intermittent pools are a single habitat phase of an intermittent pool bed that cycles between aquatic and terrestrial habitat greatly enhances their usefulness for addressing general questions in ecology.

The state, transport, and fate of aboveground terrestrial arthropod eDNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2021
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have become invaluable for detecting and monitoring aquatic and terrestrial species and assessing site biodiversity within aquatic environments or soil.

Radiocarbon in ecology: Insights and perspectives from aquatic and terrestrial studies [PDF]

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Abstract Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the biosphere, and a key element for understanding how consumer and resource relationships affect ecosystem functioning. To trace carbon sources, ecologists predominantly rely on stable carbon ratios but variable 13C baselines and diet‐to‐consumer offsets can lead to ambiguous results.

Microeukaryotic gut parasites in wastewater treatment plants: diversity, activity, and removal

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2022

First Evidence of Retrospective Findings of Microplastics in Harbour Porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) From German Waters

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Microplastic ingestion by lower trophic level organisms is well known, whereas information on microplastic ingestion, egestion and accumulation by top predators such as cetaceans is still lacking.

Ecological relevance of non‐perennial rivers for the conservation of terrestrial and aquatic communities

open access: yesConservation Biology, 2022
Abstract River conservation efforts traditionally focus on perennial watercourses (i.e., those that do not dry) and their associated aquatic biodiversity. However, most of the global river network is not perennial and thus supports both aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity.

Prothonotary warbler nestling growth and condition inresponse to variation in aquatic and terrestrial preyavailability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aquatic prey subsidies entering terrestrial habitats are well documented, but little is known about the degree to which these resources provide fitness benefits to riparian consumers.

Review of Ecological Effects of Roads on Terrestrial and Aquatic Communities [PDF]

open access: yesConservation Biology, 2000
Abstract: Roads are a widespread and increasing feature of most landscapes. We reviewed the scientific literature on the ecological effects of roads and found support for the general conclusion that they are associated with negative effects on biotic integrity in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Roads of

The oldest semi-aquatic beaver in the world and a new hypothesis for the evolution of locomotion in Castoridae

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
The North American rodent fossil record includes hundreds of species representing both an incredible taxonomic diversity and great ecological disparity. Although it is during the Oligocene that taxonomic diversity first peaks, it is not until the Miocene,
