Earthworms as ecosystem engineers : a review

Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Andreas Cedric Schomburg

The concept of ecosystem engineering has emerged decades ago and highlights the direct or indirect modulation of available resources by organisms through their biological activities. Ecosystem engineers create biogenic structures (aggregates, burrows) that ...

Integrating Information Sources for Inland Waters - A New Global Framework for Lakes Modelling and Monitoring

Theo Baracchini

Like islands, lakes are not only unique geographical features, but also ecological concepts on their own. Their exceptional variability has been studied numerous times, yet no unique framework capable of reproducing the wide range of lake dynamics observed ...

An Algorithm for Formation-Based Chemical Plume Tracing Using Robotic Marine Vehicles

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

Robotic chemical plume tracing is a growing area of research, with envisioned real-world applications including pollution tracking, search and rescue, and ecosystem identification. However, following a chemical signal in the water is not an easy task due t ...

UNDERSTANDING THE EXTENT OF FOOD WEB ALTERATIONS ON AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION REQUIRES CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF SCALE

Janine Rüegg

Species declines due to changing environmental conditions or anthropogenic influences such as fisheries harvest as well as species introductions probably have consequences beyond the species by also altering their food webs. The scope of the effect on the ...

Talsperren und Speicher als lebenswichtige Infrastrukturanlagen für den weltweiten Wohlstand = Dams and Reservoirs as Vital Water Infrastructures Ensuring Worldwide Economic Prosperity

Anton Schleiss

History shows that the economic prosperity of a society and its cultural wealth was always closely related to the level of the development of the hydraulic schemes, including dams and reservoirs. In view of climate change, dams and reservoirs will and have ...

Context-aware adaptive spelling in motor imagery BCI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Serafeim Perdikis

Objective. This work presents a first motor imagery-based, adaptive brain–computer interface (BCI) speller, which is able to exploit application-derived context for improved, simultaneous classifier adaptation and spelling. Online spelling experiments with ...

Adaptation decisions and damage costs under uncertainty in an empirical general equilibrium framework

Philippe Thalmann, Frank Vöhringer, Takafumi Usui

Mitigation measures are a priority to avoid irreversible damages to the environment due to climate change. However, additional adaptation efforts will be required to reduce the adverse impacts of projected climate change. While mitigation is more likely to ...

Coupling virtual watersheds with ecosystem services assessment: a 21st century platform to support river research and management

Tom Ian Battin

The demand for freshwater is projected to increase worldwide over the coming decades, resulting in severe water stress and threats to riverine biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services. A major societal challenge is to determine where environmental ...

Detection of Convergent Genome-Wide Signals of Adaptation to Tropical Forests in Humans

Matthieu Foll

Tropical forests are believed to be very harsh environments for human life. It is unclear whether human beings would have ever subsisted in those environments without external resources. It is therefore possible that humans have developed recent biological ...

Multi-scale landscape genomic models

Kevin Leempoel

Environmental heterogeneity is one of the main actors of biodiversity and species adaptation as it exerts a selective pressure on observable characteristics of living organisms. Consequently, local adaptation favours certain genetic variants and, by doing ...
