Interactions between beech and oak seedlings can modify the effects of hotter droughts and the onset of hydraulic failure
Charlotte Grossiord, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Hervé Cochard, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency, Janisse Deluigi, Fernando Valladares
center dot Mixing species with contrasting resource use strategies could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme events. Yet, how species diversity affects seedling hydraulic responses to heat and drought, including mortality risk, is largely unknown. Using ...
Hoboken2023From the Heroic Age to today: What diatoms from Shackleton's Nimrod expedition can tell us about the ecological trajectory of Antarctic ponds
Biological invasion and environmental change pose major threats to ecosystems. While long-term ecological change is commonly evaluated through sediment cores in lakes, it is generally not feasible for smaller ponds, and spatial resolution is limited. Here, ...
WILEY2021Inventaire 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 ...
2018Impact of the urbanization process on connectivity and genetic diversity - a spatially explicit simulation approach
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Ivo Widmer
Urbanization leads to fragmentation, degradation or loss of natural environments and reduces connectivity between remaining habitat patches. This affects dispersal and establishment of species and their genes and might have adverse effects on biodiversity ...
2015The Genomic Signature of Population Reconnection Following Isolation: From Theory to HIV
Amalio Telenti, Jeffrey David Jensen, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco
Ease of worldwide travel provides increased opportunities for organisms not only to colonize new environments but also to encounter related but diverged populations. Such events of reconnection and secondary contact of previously isolated populations are w ...
Genetics Society of America2015Divergent selection in trailing- versus leading-edge populations of Biscutella laevigata
Background and Aims: Knowledge on how climate-induced range shifts might affect natural selection is crucial to understand the evolution of species range. Methods: Using historical demographic perspectives gathered from regional-scale phylogeography on the ...
Elsevier2010Relative Extinction of Heterogeneous Agents
In all the existing literature on survival in heterogeneous economies, the rate at which an agent vanishes in the long run relative to another agent can be characterized by the difference of the so-called survival indices, where each survival index only dep ...
2009Eutrophication of ancient Lake Ohrid: Global warming amplifies detrimental effects of increased nutrient inputs
Alfred Johny Wüest, Beat Mueller, Martin Schmid
Lake Ohrid in southeastern Europe is one of the few ancient, long-lived lakes of the world, and contains more than 200 endemic species. On the basis of integrated monitoring of internal and external nutrient fluxes, a progressing eutrophication was detecte ...
Amer Soc Limnology Oceanography2007Sensitivity of ancient Lake Ohrid to local anthropogenic impacts and global warming
Human impacts on the few ancient lakes of the world must be assessed, as any change can lead to an irreversible loss of endemic communities. In such an assessment, the sensitivity of Lake Ohrid (Macedonia/Albania; surface area A = 358 km(2), volume V = 55 ...
