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 Distributed Formation-based Odor Source Localization Algorithm – Design, Implementation, and Wind Tunnel Evaluation

Alcherio Martinoli, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares, António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

Robotic odor source localization is a promising tool with numerous applications in safety, search and rescue, and environmental science. In this paper, we present an algorithm for odor source localization using multiple cooperating robots equipped with che ...

Altitudinal patterns of diversity and functional traits of metabolically active microorganisms in stream biofilms

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

Resources structure ecological communities and potentially link biodiversity to energy flow. It is commonly believed that functional traits (generalists versus specialists) involved in the exploitation of resources depend on resource availability and envir ...

MALDI-MS and NanoSIMS imaging techniques to study cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbioses

Anders Meibom, Christophe Kopp

Cnidarian-dinoflagellate photosynthetic symbioses are fundamental to biologically diverse and productive coral reef ecosystems. The hallmark of this symbiotic relationship is the ability of dinoflagellate symbionts to supply their cnidarian host with a wid ...

Distinct invasion strategies operating within a natural annual plant system

Thomas Spiegelberger, Justine Marie Gay des Combes

Alien plant species are known to have a wide range of impacts on recipient communities, from resident species' exclusions to coexistence with resident species. It remains unclear; however, if this variety of impacts is due to different invader strategies, ...

Experimental evidence for strong stabilizing forces at high functional diversity of aquatic microbial communities

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Francesco Carrara, Florian Altermatt

Unveiling the mechanisms that promote coexistence in biological communities is a fundamental problem in ecology. Stable coexistence of many species is commonly observed in natural communities. Most of these natural communities, however, are composed of spe ...

Temporal evolution of bacterial communities associated with the in situ wetland-based remediation of a marine shore porphyry copper tailings deposit

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Nouhou Diaby

Mine tailings are a serious threat to the environment and public health. Remediation of these residues can be carried out effectively by the activation of specific microbial processes. This article presents detailed information about temporal changes in ba ...

Protecting Options in Global Markets: Evidence on the Use of Strategic Disclosure

Christopher Tucci, Jana Thiel, Tilo Peters

We examine the impact of globally diverse market operations on a firm’s choice to openly disclose some of its technology. We suggest that this strategic disclosure offers solutions to specific needs in the commercialization strategy of globally operating f ...

Biodiversity Mapping in a Tropical West African Forest with Airborne Hyperspectral Data

Francesco Giuseppe Miglietta, Qi Chen

Tropical forests are major repositories of biodiversity, but are fast disappearing as land is converted to agriculture. Decision-makers need to know which of the remaining forests to prioritize for conservation, but the only spatial information on forest b ...

A participatory WebGIS platform to support biodiversity inventory in the Geneva cross-border area

Stéphane Joost, Jens Ingensand, Ivo Widmer

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 ...
