Bridging Food Webs, Ecosystem Metabolism, and Biogeochemistry Using Ecological Stoichiometry Theory

Although aquatic ecologists and biogeochemists are well aware of the crucial importance of ecosystem functions, i.e., how biota drive biogeochemical processes and vice-versa, linking these fields in conceptual models is still uncommon. Attempts to explain ...

No need to shout: Effect of signal loudness on sibling communication in barn owls

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli, Dorian Cazau

In animal communication, signal loudness is often ignored and seldom measured. We used a playback experiment to examine the role of vocal loudness (i.e., sound pressure level) in sibling to sibling communication of nestling barn owls Tyto alba. In this spe ...

Identification of a Predator-Prey System from Simulation Data of a Convection Model

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

The use of low-dimensional dynamical systems as reduced models for plasma dynamics is useful as solving an initial value problem requires much less computational resources than fluid simulations. We utilize a data-driven modeling approach to identify a red ...

Application of remote sensing for the optimization of in-situ sampling for monitoring of phytoplankton abundance in a large lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Isabel Blanca Sophie Kiefer

Directives and legislations worldwide aim at representatively and continuously monitoring the ecological status of surface waters. In many countries, chlorophyll-a concentrations (CHL) are used as an indicator of phytoplankton abundance and the trophic lev ...

Mixtures of Chemical Pollutants at European Legislation Safety Concentrations: How Safe Are They?

Kristin Schirmer

The risk posed by complex chemical mixtures in the environment to wildlife and humans is increasingly debated, but has been rarely tested under environmentally relevant scenarios. To address this issue, two mixtures of 14 or 19 substances of concern (pesti ...

Plant functional diversity drives niche-size-structure of dominant microbial consumers along a poor to extremely rich fen gradient

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

Plant community composition is recognized more and more for playing an important role in ecosystem processes, such as C cycling. In particular, plant functional type (PFT) composition seems to have a key regulatory role, yet the underlying mechanisms in ...

Above- and belowground linkages in Sphagnum peatland: climate warming affects plant-microbial interactions

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Peatlands contain approximately one third of all soil organic carbon (SOC). Warming can alter above- and belowground linkages that regulate soil organic carbon dynamics and C-balance in peatlands. Here we examine the multiyear impact of in situ experimenta ...

To What Extent Do Food Preferences Explain the Trophic Position of Heterotrophic and Mixotrophic Microbial Consumers in a Sphagnum Peatland?

Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Caroline Meyer

Although microorganisms are the primary drivers of biogeochemical cycles, the structure and functioning of microbial food webs are poorly studied. This is the case in Sphagnum peatlands, where microbial communities play a key role in the global carbon cycl ...
