Relationships between key functional traits of the waterlily Nuphar lutea and wetland nutrient content
Little attention has been paid to how aquatic habitat characteristics affect the traits of plant species. Nuphar lutea (L.) Sm. is a keystone species distributed across temperate regions of Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. Its apparently low phen ...
2019On the probabilistic nature of the species-area relation
Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Jonathan Giezendanner, Silvia Zaoli, Amos Maritan
The Species-Area Relation (SAR), which describes the increase in the number of species S with increasing area A, is under intense scrutiny in contemporary ecology, in particular to probe its reliability in predicting the number of species going extinct as ...
2019Landscape Genomics: Understanding Relationships Between Environmental Heterogeneity and Genomic Characteristics of Populations
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni
Landscape genomics is a rapidly advancing research field that combines population genomics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques to explicitly quantify the effects of environmental heterogeneity on neutral and adaptive genetic variation and ...
Springer2019On the theory of drainage area for regular and non-regular points
The drainage area is an important, non-local property of a landscape, which controls surface and subsurface hydrological fluxes. Its role in numerous ecohydrological and geomorphological applications has given rise to several numerical methods for its comp ...
2018Integrating models across temporal and spatial scales to simulate landscape patterns and dynamics in mountain pasture-woodlands
Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...
Springer2017Simple rules for an efficient use of Geographic Information Systems in molecular ecology
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly popular in the context of molecular ecology and conservation biology thanks to their display options efficiency, flexibility and management of geodata. Indeed, spatial data for wildlife and liv ...
2017Landscape genomic approach to detect selection signatures in locally adapted Brazilian swine genetic groups
Stéphane Joost, Robson Jose Cesconeto
Samples of 191 animals from 18 different Brazilian locally adapted swine genetic groups were genotyped using Illumina Porcine SNP60 BeadChip in order to identify selection signatures related to the monthly variation of Brazilian environmental variables. Us ...
2017Demographic stochasticity and resource autocorrelation control biological invasions in heterogeneous landscapes
Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt
Mounting theoretical evidence suggests that demographic stochasticity, environmental heterogeneity and biased movement of organisms individually affect the dynamics of biological invasions and range expansions. Studies of species spread in heterogeneous la ...
Wiley2017Field study on drainage densities and rescaled width functions in a high‐altitude alpine catchment
Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Raphaël Mutzner
This paper addresses the effect of accurately mapping spatially heterogeneous drainage densities in high-altitude alpine basins on Rescaled Width Functions (RWFs), used in some applications as a minimalist model of the hydrologic response. The channel netw ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Multi-scale landscape genomic models
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 ...
