Assessing the universality of Habitat Suitability Indexes (HSI) for brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) In relation to ecohydraulic variables

Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani, Francesca Padoan

The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) is a quantitative index that determines the capacity of a given area to meet habitat requirements for a specific species with respect to given variables. The degree of universality of this index is not well understood ye ...

From roots to canopy: Unraveling the influence of species diversity on tree water relations under warmer and drier climates

Eugénie Isabelle Mas

The worsening of drought events with rising air temperature alters tree water relations causing severe hydraulic impairments and widespread forest mortality. Mixing tree species with contrasting hydraulic traits could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme ...

The biofilm ecology of proglacial floodplain streams

Jade Brandani

Glacial forelands figure among the most dynamic landscapes on Earth, and their formation is currently accelerating given glacier shrinkage. Draining these forelands are streams hosting unique microbial communities, which have the capacity to impact both th ...

Foliar respiration is related to photosynthetic, growth and carbohydrate response to experimental drought and elevated temperature

Charlotte Grossiord

Short-term plant respiration (R) increases exponentially with rising temperature, but drought could reduce respiration by reducing growth and metabolism. Acclimation may alter these responses. We examined if species with different drought responses would d ...

Spontaneous ecological recovery of vegetation in a red gypsum landfill: Betula pendula dominates after 10 years of inactivity

François Gillet

Red gypsum is the product of the neutralization of titanium dioxide (TiO2) extraction residue from ilmenite and anatase. The disposal of red gypsum creates heterogeneous plots with layers that may include Fe, Ca, Al, Mg, Mn, S, and other elements and an al ...

Responses of plant leaf economic and hydraulic traits mediate the effects of early- and late-season drought on grassland productivity

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Constant Signarbieux, Amarante Vitra, Claire Emilie Deléglise, Lia Aimée Marie-Joe Lamacque

Drought can occur at different times during the grassland growing season, likely having contrasting effects on forage production when happening early or later in the season. However, knowledge about the interacting effects of the timing of drought and the ...

Imidacloprid induces adverse effects on fish early life stages that are more severe in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) than in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Kristin Schirmer, Juliane Hollender

Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides that have frequently been found in freshwater with concentrations ranging from ng to mu g/L. It is known that these compounds impact non-target invertebrates, such as bees and gammaridae, in terms of toxicity and ...

Effects of Sphagnum Leachate on Competitive Sphagnum Microbiome Depend on Species and Time

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Samuel Thomas Gabriel Hamard

Plant specialized metabolites play an important role in soil carbon (C) and nutrient fluxes. Through anti-microbial effects, they can modulate microbial assemblages and associated microbial-driven processes, such as nutrient cycling, so to positively or ne ...

Improved detection sensitivity for heavy trace elements using a miniature laser ablation ionisation mass spectrometer

Herbert Shea, Reto Wiesendanger, Peter Wurz

Laser ablation ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry is a versatile technique to obtain highly sensitive measurement of the elements and isotope composition of solid materials. Because of the measurements of nearly all elements in the sample, large i ...

Ecological strategies in stable and disturbed environments depend on species specialisation

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Ecological strategies are integral to understanding species survival in different environments. However, how habitat specialisation is involved in such strategies is not fully understood, particularly in heterogeneous and disturbed environments. Here, we s ...
