Evaluating resilience of tree communities in fragmented landscapes: linking functional response diversity with landscape connectivityDiversity and Distributions - Tập 22 Số 5 - Trang 505-518 - 2016
Dylan Craven, Élise Filotas, Virginie A. Angers, Christian Messier
AbstractAimMultiple agents of change increasingly impact functioning of forest
ecosystems, for which management plans often ignore how local disturbances and
habitat fragmentation jointly operate on ecological resilience at different
scales. We examined sensitivity of functional response diversity (FD) to
variation in species diversity to predict ecological resilience to future
disturbances across... hiện toàn bộ
Dynamic spatial interactions between the native invader Brown‐headed Cowbird and its hostsDiversity and Distributions - Tập 21 Số 5 - Trang 511-522 - 2015
Jean‐Yves Barnagaud, Julien Papaïx, Olivier Giménez, Jens‐Christian Svenning
AbstractAimWe investigated the contribution of parasitism by the Brown‐headed
Cowbird (Molothrus ater) to its host population dynamics at a subcontinental
scale. We predicted that the growth rate of cowbirds would be most strongly
related to the abundance of forest insectivorous hosts and that landscape
fragmentation would have opposite effects on the parasite and its hosts.
Furthermore, due to th... hiện toàn bộ
Multidecadal shifts in fish community diversity across a dynamic biogeographic transition zoneDiversity and Distributions - Tập 26 Số 1 - Trang 93-107 - 2020
Brittany Troast, Richard Paperno, Geoffrey S. Cook
AbstractAimA 21‐year fisheries‐independent monitoring dataset was used to
explore fish community diversity across a latitudinal gradient to quantify how
diversity has changed and relate those changes in diversity to changes in the
abiotic environment. Additionally, this study spans a biogeographic transition
zone, providing insight into future species assemblages across regions of
relatively high ... hiện toàn bộ
Trait‐based approach to monitoring marine benthic data along 500 km of coastlineDiversity and Distributions - Tập 25 Số 12 - Trang 1879-1896 - 2019

AbstractAimβ diversity and its linkages with ecosystem functioning remain poorly
documented. This impedes our capacity to predict biodiversity changes and how
they affect ecosystem functioning at scales relevant for conservation. Here, we
address the functional implications of ongoing seafloor changes by
characterizing at regional scale the taxonomic and functional α and β
diversities of benthic h... hiện toàn bộ
Rarity and beta diversity assessment as tools for guiding conservation strategies in marine tropical subtidal communitiesDiversity and Distributions - Tập 25 Số 5 - Trang 743-757 - 2019

AbstractAimOur aim was to uncover patterns of distribution of marine subtidal
rocky reef communities across six taxonomic groups and decompose the relative
roles of species loss and turnover in total community variation. Additionally,
we propose an easily calculated index that can be used to highlight areas with
unique species composition for conservation planning. We estimated the strengths
of as... hiện toàn bộ
Climate change, non‐indigenous species and shipping: assessing the risk of species introduction to a high‐Arctic archipelagoDiversity and Distributions - Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 10-19 - 2014
Chris Ware, Jørgen Berge, Jan H. Sundet, JB Kirkpatrick, Ashley D.M. Coutts, Anders Jelmert, Steffen M. Olsen, Oliver Floerl, Mary S. Wisz, Inger Greve Alsos
AbstractAimAnticipated changes in the global ocean climate will affect the
vulnerability of marine ecosystems to the negative effects of non‐indigenous
species (NIS). In the Arctic, there is a need to better characterize present and
future marine biological introduction patterns and processes. We use a
vector‐based assessment to estimate changes in the vulnerability of a
high‐Arctic archipelago to... hiện toàn bộ
Is vessel hull fouling an invasion threat to the Great Lakes?Diversity and Distributions - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 132-143 - 2010
Francisco Sylvester, Hugh J. MacIsaac
AbstractAim Hull fouling is a leading vector for the introduction of marine,
non‐indigenous species (NIS) worldwide, yet its importance to freshwater
habitats is poorly understood. We aimed to establish the complement of NIS
transported via this vector to the Great Lakes and to determine if they pose an
invasion risk.Location Laurentian Great Lakes.Methods During 2007 and 2008, we
collected scrapi... hiện toàn bộ
