Environmental Flows Determination and Monitoring with Hydraulic Habitat Models-Pushing the Boundaries of Habitat Models Application

Mikolaj Stanislaw Adamczyk, Piotr Parasiewicz

Hydraulic habitat simulation models were designed for the quantitative determination of environmental flows that consider the needs of aquatic fauna in rivers and streams. In the past 50 years, the modeling techniques were significantly developed, but expe ...

Impacts of thermal mismatches on chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis prevalence are moderated by life stage, body size, elevation and latitude

Suzanne Marie Young

Global climate change is increasing the frequency of unpredictable weather conditions; however, it remains unclear how species-level and geographic factors, including body size and latitude, moderate impacts of unusually warm or cool temperatures on diseas ...

A case-study evaluating river rehabilitation alternatives and habitat heterogeneity using the hydromorphological index of diversity

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner

Concurrent rehabilitation alternatives were evaluated for a 1900 m reach of the River Etsch in northern Italy using a recently developed Hydro Morphological Index of Diversity (HMID) model. HMID is a new tool enabling quantitative assessments of river rest ...

Effects of altered river network connectivity on the distribution of Salmo trutta: Insights from a metapopulation model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Alexia Maria Gonzalez Ferreras

Network connectivity is a key feature of rivers that affects patterns and processes in lotic ecosystems. Few studies have considered how changes in river reach connectivity might affect ecosystem attributes at a whole river network scale. The use of popula ...

Signatures of selection and environmental adaptation across the goat genome post-domestication

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat

Background: Since goat was domesticated 10,000 years ago, many factors have contributed to the differentiation of goat breeds and these are classified mainly into two types: (i) adaptation to different breeding systems and/or purposes and (ii) adaptation t ...

Inventaire des coléoptères saproxyliques de treize forêts du canton de Vaud

Rita Bütler Sauvain, Gaspard Braulin

In 2017, surveys of saproxylic beetles (dependent on dead wood) were conducted in thirteen forests in the canton of Vaud (Switzerland), including several forest reserves. Interception traps were used to catch a total of 298 species of Coleoptera, including ...

The Demographic and Adaptive History of the African Green Monkey

Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Relatively little is known about the evolutionary history of the African green monkey (genus Chlorocebus) due to the lack of sampled polymorphism data fromwild populations. Yet, this characterization of genetic diversity is not only critical for a better u ...

Persistence of butterfly populations in fragmented habitats along urban density gradients: motility helps

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Ivo Widmer

In a simulation study of genotypes conducted over 100 generations for more than 1600 butterfly’s individuals, we evaluate how the increase of anthropogenic fragmentation and reduction of habitat size along urbanisation gradients (from 7% to 59% of impervio ...

A WebGIS platform for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (GENMON)

Stéphane Joost, Giona Matasci, Ivo Widmer, Solange Catherine Gaillard

Background In 2007, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR). The main goal of this plan is to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals, ...
