At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums

Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...

Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought

Charlotte Grossiord, Jingjing Liang, Xiaojuan Liu

Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...

The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem

Massimo Bourquin

Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant microbial diversity that develops into biofilms, covering the boulders and s ...

Atlas Narratives of Anthropogenic Transformations across the Vietnamese Mekong Delta's Urban-Rural Territories: Water Ecosystems as Subject for the Social Ecological Transition

Sylvie Tram Nguyen

Well beyond the impact of climate change, anthropogenic modifications of the Vietnam Mekong Delta's ecosystems have resulted in environmental degradation and subsequent loss in ecosystems. The environmental impacts include but are not limited to accelerate ...

Conception et dimensionnement durable : Étude comparative et conception multi-matériaux

Flavien Dumont

Les émissions de CO2 émises par le secteur de la construction représentent 11% des émissions globales de l’humanité (2019). En raison de l’urgence climatique, il est nécessaire de les réduire. Dans ce contexte et selon les conclusions données par la pré-é ...

Perspectives in machine learning for wildlife conservation

Devis Tuia, Alexander Mathis, Mackenzie Mathis, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Inexpensive and accessible sensors are accelerating data acquisition in animal ecology. These technologies hold great potential for large-scale ecological understanding, but are limited by current processing approaches which inefficiently distill data into ...

Exploration of socio-ecological continuity project in great Geneva, toward a convergence of the territorial project of biodiversity and ecological continuities

Flore Jeanne Marie Andrea Guichot, Marine Françoise Jeannine Villaret

A territorial project impelling biodiversity and socio-ecological transitions implies its renewal. The recognition of the landscape as a support of biodiversity led to the establishment of the tool of ecological continuities (ECs) within territorial planni ...

On the fractal structure of soil moisture fields

Andrea Rinaldo

We study the spatial structure of soil moisture fields within savanna ecosystems, whose persistence is vital because it is the driver of the entire ecological structure and function. These include changes in the physical and biogeochemical conditions of th ...

The architecture of benthic biofilms - Linking hydraulics to spatially structured processes

Anna Depetris

Biofilms are spatially structured ecosystems, characterized by patterns and architectural features determined by the interplay between endogenous and exogenous processes. As in many other structured ecosystems, the characterization of spatial interactions ...

Un vocabulaire architectural sensible et bio-inspiré. Démonstration dans un pavillon à la Jetée de la Compagnie

L’architecture prend souvent le parti élitiste de s’adresser à la mince frange de population ayant fait le choix de s’éduquer pour en saisir les subtils secrets, laissant les autres hors-circuit, alors qu’ils en seront pourtant les usagers majoritaires. Da ...
