On neutral metacommunity patterns of river basins at different scales of aggregation

Neutral metacommunity models for spatial biodiversity patterns are implemented on river networks acting as ecological corridors at different resolution. Coarse-graining elevation fields (under the constraint of preserving the basin mean elevation) produce ...

Conservation priority of Italian Alpine habitats: a floristic approach based on potential distribution of vascular plant species

Luca Bragazza

In the European Union, the Directive 92/43/EEC defines a number of species and habitats of community interest that are worthy to be preserved because in danger to disappear or because they are representative of the different European bio-geographical regio ...

The curse of taxonomic uncertainty in biogeographical studies of free-living terrestrial protists: a case study of testate amoebae from Amsterdam Island

Edward Mitchell, Thierry Jean Heger

Aim A current debate in microbial biogeography contrasts two views concerning the distribution of free-living microorganisms. The first view assumes a ubiquitous distribution, while the second view assumes that at least some species have limited geographic ...

Charge storage at the Pt/YSZ interface

Christos Comninellis, György Foti, Cyril Falgairette, Arnaud Jaccoud

The electrochemical behavior of Pt/YSZ electrodes in oxygen containing atmosphere at 450 A degrees C has been investigated by double-step chronoamperometry and programmed linear sweep cyclic voltammetry. The response of the O-2(g),Pt/YSZ system in these ex ...

A landscape genomics approach to understanding and predicting species distribution

Stéphane Joost

In habitat modelling, an initial step is to define geoenvironmental variables to be included in a predictive model. According to Guisan and Zimmermann (2000), the selection of predictors can be made either arbitrarily, automatically by stepwise procedures, ...

Landscape effects on anuran pond occupancy in an agricultural countryside: barrier-based buffers predict distributions better than circular buffers

Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Flavio Zanini, Anna Klingemann

Species movement and occupancy of habitat patches are dependent on landscape permeability. Some land-use types (e.g., roads) may be barriers to animal movement. Analyses of the effect of landscape structure on patch occupancy usually use circular buffers a ...

Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use

Jiri Dolezal, Aurélie Thébault

1.Many studies have identified relationships between plant reproductive behaviour and environmental conditions. However, they have all been based on cross-species analysis and take no account of the relative abundance of species with vegetation. 2.Using tw ...

Effect of Lead Pollution on Testate Amoebae Communities living in Sphagnum fallax: an experimental study

Edward Mitchell

We studied the effects of lead pollution on testate amoebae communities living on Sphagnum fallax by growing this moss under controlled conditions. A progressive series of lead (Pb) concentration was used in the growing solution of the mosses: 0 (control), ...

Scaling in ecosystems and the linkage of macroecological laws

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

Scaling provides an elegant framework for understanding power-law behavior and deducing relationships between critical exponents. We demonstrate that scaling theory can be generalized to develop a framework for the analysis of diverse empirical macroecolog ...

How patch configuration affects the impact of disturbances on metapopulation persistence

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Disturbances affect metapopulations directly through reductions in population size and indirectly through habitat modification. We consider how metapopulation persistence is affected by different disturbance regimes and the way in which disturbances spread ...
