Taxonomic and functional turnover are decoupled in European peat bogs

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

In peatland ecosystems, plant communities mediate a globally significant carbon store. The effects of global environmental change on plant assemblages are expected to be a factor in determining how ecosystem functions such as carbon uptake will respond. Us ...

Contrasting processes drive alpha and beta taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of orthopteran communities in grasslands

François Gillet, Bertrand Fournier

Taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversities can respond differently to biotic and abiotic filters. However, biodiversity management tends to focus on a single index, generally taxonomic diversity, assuming a strong positive correlation among biodive ...

Revisiting Taxonomy Induction over Wikipedia

Amit Gupta

Guided by multiple heuristics, a unified taxonomy of entities and categories is distilled from the Wikipedia category network. A comprehensive evaluation, based on the analysis of upward generalization paths, demonstrates that the taxonomy supports general ...

Impact of nitrogen inputs on multiple facets of plant biodiversity in mountain grasslands: does nutrient source matter?

François Gillet

Questions: What is the impact of nitrogen (N) inputs on the vegetation of mountain permanent grasslands? Beyond the effect of fertilizer quantity (total and available N supply), is there a specific effect of fertilizer quality (the various N sources) on th ...

Functional responses of multitaxa communities to disturbance and stress gradients in a restored floodplain

Edward Mitchell, François Gillet, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Bertrand Fournier

Trait-based approaches can reveal the mechanisms through which disturbances or stress impact communities, allowing comparisons of the role of different mechanisms in shaping communities among taxonomic groups. Such information can lead to higher comparabil ...

A taxonomy of demand uncensoring methods in revenue management

Shadi Sharif Azadeh

Revenue management systems rely on customer data, and are thus affected by the absence of registered demand that arises when a product is no longer available. In the present work, we review the uncensoring (or unconstraining) techniques that have been prop ...

Rare but active taxa contribute to community dynamics of benthic biofilms in glacier-fed streams

Tom Ian Battin

Glaciers harbour diverse microorganisms, which upon ice melt can be released downstream. In glacier-fed streams microorganisms can attach to stones or sediments to form benthic biofilms. We used 454-pyrosequencing to explore the bulk (16S rDNA) and putativ ...

Contrasted taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity patterns in semi-natural permanent grasslands along an altitudinal gradient

François Gillet

Background and aims - Recent methodological and theoretical advances in community ecology have allowed more robust exploration of complementary facets of biodiversity in plant communities. Focusing on semi-natural permanent grasslands of the French Jura Mo ...

COI Barcoding of Nebelid Testate Amoebae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida): Extensive Cryptic Diversity and Redefinition of the Hyalospheniidae Schultze

Edward Mitchell, Enrique Lara, Thierry Jean Heger

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to clarify the taxonomic validity of morphological characters. The COI data not o ...
