Linear regression summarises the link between a variable of interest and one or several explanatory variables through a parametric relationship. Hastie and Tibshirani (1986) extended this approach by allowing a non-parametric description of the dependence ...
The context is the URBANGENE project which aims at estimating the impact of urbanization on biodiversity using genetic information. The paper discusses the opportunities to involve citizens in a conservation process through the development of a participato ...
The present thesis deals with the understanding of the origins and the mechanisms of maintenance of biodiversity in natural landscapes, in particular by identifying key processes that define large-scale patterns of abundance and diversity. Biological commu ...
Climate change in temperate mountain systems and associated increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation are expected to have strong implications for vegetation productivity, species diversity and carbon turnover in subalpine grasslands. Little is ...
Biological communities often occur in spatially structured habitats where connectivity directly affects dispersal and metacommunity processes. Recent theoretical work suggests that dispersal constrained by the connectivity of specific habitat structures, s ...
Terrestrial imagery found in public databases is an alternative and complementary data source for environmental studies. Compared to usual data source, such as airborne images, terrestrial pictures may have higher temporal and spatial resolutions. They are ...
The question of finding an appropriate scale to study adaptation emerged only recently in landscape genomics, while in landscape ecology its components (extent and resolution or grain) have been addressed in many papers. In fact, in landscape genetics only ...
The European Landscape Convention (ELC) defines landscape as "an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors". Because all aspects linked to landscape are evaluated during the En ...
Background: In European mountains, where semi-natural grasslands have high cultural and nature conservation value, land-use legacies from past ploughing are associated with distinct floristic compositions and ecosystem properties. It remains unknown if the ...
