Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Drivers of ecological assembly in the hindgut of Atlantic Cod fed a macroalgal supplemented diet
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2022 It is difficult to disentangle the many variables (e.g. internal or external cues and random events) that shape the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract of any living species.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanographic and ecological conditions can be used to inform forecasts and decision‐making for marine resources, but the dominant drivers of recruitment variability remain poorly understood for many fish stocks. We developed a conceptual life‐history model of the oceanographic and ecological variables that influence the recruitment of ...

Statistical post-processing of ensemble forecasts of the height of new snow [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2019 Forecasting the height of new snow (HN) is crucial for avalanche hazard forecasting, road viability, ski resort management and tourism attractiveness. Météo-France operates the PEARP-S2M probabilistic forecasting system, including 35 members of the PEARP

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

EcosphereStudies of community assembly often explore the role of niche selection in limiting the diversity of functional traits (underdispersion) or increasing the diversity of functional traits (overdispersion) within local communities. While these patterns have

Time‐Varying Dispersion Integer‐Valued GARCH Models
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We introduce a general class of INteger‐valued Generalized AutoRegressive Conditionally Heteroscedastic (INGARCH) processes by allowing simultaneously time‐varying mean and dispersion parameters. We call such models time‐varying dispersion INGARCH (tv‐DINGARCH) models.
