Temporal, Spatial and Prey Niche Partitioning Reveals Coexistence Mechanism of Mesocarnivores in Guangdong Province, South China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Through examining the three ecological niche dimensions, we found spatial and prey niche partitioning could help explain mesocarnivore coexistence patterns in Guangdong Province, southern China. ABSTRACT Mesocarnivores are expected to maintain ecosystem function and stability as emerging apex predators after the decline and extinction of large ...

Integrated planning of water and land-use [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The role of water in spatial planning has received increasing attention in recent years. It was, for example, one of the leading motives in the preparation of the latest National Spatial Planning Note for The Netherlands.

Modelling Species Distribution at the Boundaries of the Earth's Climate

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to project species' responses to global changes. The climatic niche of a species is calibrated under current climate conditions and then projected in space and/or time, making model extrapolation an important concern. This issue is particularly relevant when considering species

Spatiotemporal interactions facilitate sympatry in a diverse mammalian community

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Understanding mechanisms underlying coexistence among potential competitors, and between predators and prey, is a persistent challenge in community ecology. Using 6 years (2013–2018) of camera‐trapping data and species interaction models, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of inter‐ and intra‐guild interspecific interactions in a ...

Low-frequency ocean bottom pressure variations in the North Pacific in response to time-variable surface winds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One decade of time-variable gravity field observations from the GRACE satellite mission reveals low-frequency ocean bottom pressure (OBP) variability of up to 2.5 hPa centered at the northern flank of the subtropical gyre in the North Pacific. From a 145

The risk of inbreeding versus outbreeding depression in managing an endangered and locally adapted population of a sedentary bird

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2024.
There is ongoing debate in conservation genomics on how to preserve small and fragmented populations, whether they should be managed independently or blended through translocations. This study using genetic and phenotypic data from Red grouse Lagopus scotica in a large British population and endangered Irish population found significant divergence and ...

Development and validation of a GT‐seq panel for genetic monitoring in a threatened species using minimally invasive sampling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
Here, we develop, optimize, and validate a GT‐seq panel for the federally threatened northern Idaho ground squirrel (Urocitellus brunneus) to provide a standardized approach for future genetic monitoring and assessment of recovery goals using minimally invasive samples.

Hydraulic Engineering into the 21st Century: the Rediscovery of the Wheel ? (1) A Review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Hydraulics is the branch of civil engineering related to the science of water in motion, and the interactions between the fluid and the surrounding environment. It is shown that hydraulic engineers were at the forefront of science for centuries.
