Time-resolved effective connectivity in task fMRI: Psychophysiological interactions of Co-Activation patterns

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Arwen Blanche Giraud

Investigating context-dependent modulations of Functional Connectivity (FC) with functional magnetic resonance imaging is crucial to reveal the neurological underpinnings of cognitive processing. Most current analysis methods hypothesise sustained FC withi ...

Spatiotemporal patterns of urbanization in three Swiss urban agglomerations: insights from landscape metrics, growth modes and fractal analysis

Jérôme Chenal, Martí Bosch Padrós, Rémi Jaligot

Context Urbanization is the most important form of landscape change and is increasingly affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Understanding how landscape patterns change in space and time is central to the evaluation of the environmental impacts ...

Beyond the patch: on landscape-explicit metapopulation dynamics

Jonathan Giezendanner

Climate change threatens biodiversity and species distribution all over the world at unprecedented rates. Human induced changes to landscape structure and habitat are redefining the relation between species and their environment. Understanding, characteriz ...

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 ...

Evolving biodiversity patterns in changing river networks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

Biodiversity patterns are governed by landscape structure and dispersal strategies of residing organisms. Landscape, however, changes, and dispersal strategies evolve with it. It is unclear how these biological and geomorphological changes interplay to aff ...

Integrating geo-biodiversity features in the analysis of landscape patterns

Alexandre Buttler, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Ioana Stoicescu

Spatial patterns are deeply linked to ecological processes and this relationship lies at the core of landscape ecology. In turn, landscape patterns are influenced by physical, biological and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this study was to explore how s ...

Landscape-scale simulation experiments test Romanian and Swiss management guidelines for mountain pasture-woodland habitat diversity

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Ioana Stoicescu

Distinct guidelines have been proposed in Romania and Switzerland for the management of pasture woodlands that either focused on the regulation of grazing pressure (Romanian production perspective) or overall tree cover (Swiss conservation perspective). Ho ...

Detecting spatial genetic signatures of local adaptation in heterogeneous landscapes

Stéphane Joost

The spatial structure of the environment (e.g., the configuration of habitat patches) may play an important role in determining the strength of local adaptation. However, previous studies of habitat heterogeneity and local adaptation have largely been limi ...

Geomorphic controls on elevational gradients of species richness

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Francesco Carrara, Florian Altermatt

Elevational gradients of biodiversity have been widely investigated, and yet a clear interpretation of the biotic and abiotic factors that determine how species richness varies with elevation is still elusive. In mountainous landscapes, habitats at differe ...

Biodiversity dynamics and the effect of urban environment on the distribution of genetic variation in the Geneva cross-border area

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Jens Ingensand, Estelle Rochat, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer, Alain Clémence

Population growth, urbanization and agriculture lead to degradation and loss of natural environment. This has an adverse effect on the diversity of habitats, species and genes and might cause decline in the quality of life of the resident population. In th ...
