Jumping dynamics of aquatic animals

Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions r ...

280 Birds with One Stone: Inducing Multilingual Taxonomies from Wikipedia Using Character-Level Classification

Karl Aberer, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Hamza Harkous, Amit Gupta

We propose a novel fully-automated approach towards inducing multilingual taxonomies fromWikipedia. Given an English taxonomy, our approach first leverages the interlanguage links of Wikipedia to automatically construct training datasets for the is-a relat ...

Taxonomic revision of genus Fornasinius Bertoloni, 1853 with description of new taxa (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Fornasinius was established in 1853 by Giuseppe BERTOLONI to receive a taxon that was sufficiently distinct from the known representatives of the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1801, to merit a different placement. Here, the type species of the genus, ...

Strain-level diversity drives alternative community types in millimetre-scale granular biofilms

Christof Holliger

Microbial communities are often highly diverse in their composition, both at a coarse-grained taxonomic level, such as genus, and at a highly resolved level, such as strains, within species. This variability can be driven by either extrinsic factors such a ...

Form - function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective

Alessandra Patera

Functional requirements may constrain phenotypic diversification or foster it. For insect mouthparts, the quantification of the relationship between shape and function in an evolutionary framework remained largely unexplored. Here, the question of a functi ...

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Enrique Lara

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...

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 ...

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 ...
