Freshwater biodiversity: importance, threats, status and conservation challengesABSTRACT Freshwater biodiversity is the over‐riding conservation priority during the International Decade for Action ‐‘Water for Life’ ‐ 2005 to 2015. Fresh water makes up only 0.01% of the World's water and approximately 0.8 % of the Earth's surface, yet this tiny fraction of global water supports at least 100 000 species out of approxima... ... hiện toàn bộ

Effect size, confidence interval and statistical significance: a practical guide for biologistsAbstract Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is the dominant statistical approach in biology, although it has many, frequently unappreciated, problems. Most importantly, NHST does not provide us with two crucial pieces of information: (1) the magnitude of an effect of interest, and (2) the precision of the estimate of the magnitude of that effect. All biolog... ... hiện toàn bộ

Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolutionAbstract Temperament describes the idea that individual behavioural differences are repeatable over time and across situations. This common phenomenon covers numerous traits, such as aggressiveness, avoidance of novelty, willingness to take risks, exploration, and sociality. The study of temperament is central to animal psychology, behavioural genetics, pharmacology... ... hiện toàn bộ

REPRODUCTIVE and LARVAL ECOLOGY OF MARINE BOTTOM INVERTEBRATESSummary 1. In analysing the ecological conditions of an animal population we have above all to focus our attention upon the most sensitive stages within the life cycle of the animal, that is, the period of breeding and larval development. 2. Most animal populations on the sea bottom maintain the qualitatively composition of the species composing them... ... hiện toàn bộ

Repeatability for Gaussian and non‐Gaussian data: a practical guide for biologistsRepeatability (more precisely the common measure of repeatability, the intra‐class correlation coefficient, ICC) is an important index for quantifying the accuracy of measurements and the constancy of phenotypes. It is the proportion of phenotypic variation that can be attributed to between‐subject (or between‐group) variation. As a consequence, the non‐repeatable fraction of phenotypic va... ... hiện toàn bộ

Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversityABSTRACT In the 12 years since Dudgeon et al . (2006) reviewed major pressures on freshwater ecosystems, the biodiversity crisis in the world's lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams and wetlands has deepened. While lakes, reservoirs and rivers cover only 2.3% of the Earth's surface, these ecosystems host at least 9.5% of the Earth's described ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Bivariate line‐fitting methods for allometryABSTRACT Fitting a line to a bivariate dataset can be a deceptively complex problem, and there has been much debate on this issue in the literature. In this review, we describe for the practitioner the essential features of line‐fitting methods for estimating the relationship between two variables: what methods are commonly used, which method should be used when, an... ... hiện toàn bộ

Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypothesesUnderstanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global environmental change. In this review, we use knowledge gained from human‐modified landscapes to suggest eight hypotheses, which we hope will encourage more systematic research on the role of landscape composition and co... ... hiện toàn bộ
