Does interspecific competition with a stronger competitor explain the rarity of an endangered snake on a Mediterranean island?Ecological Research - Tập 27 - Trang 649-655 - 2012
Luca Luiselli, Massimo Capula, Lorenzo Rugiero, Daniele Salvi, Godfrey C. Akani
Interspecific competition has been demonstrated to be an important shaping force
for snake communities worldwide, but relatively few studies have investigated
its occurrence and extent with island assemblages of snakes. In Sardinia
(Mediterranean Sea), two species of whip snakes (Colubridae) co-occur, one of
them being abundant and widespread (Hierophis viridiflavus) and the other being
localized ... hiện toàn bộ
General allometric equations and biomass allocation of Pinus massoniana trees on a regional scale in southern ChinaEcological Research - Tập 26 - Trang 697-711 - 2011
Wenhua Xiang, Shaohui Liu, Xiangwen Deng, Aihua Shen, Xiangdong Lei, Dalun Tian, Meifang Zhao, Changhui Peng
Applying allometric equations in combination with forest inventory data is an
effective approach to use when qualifying forest biomass and carbon storage on a
regional scale. The objectives of this study were to (1) develop general
allometric tree component biomass equations and (2) investigate tree biomass
allocation patterns for Pinus massoniana, a principal tree species native to
southern China... hiện toàn bộ
Do spider mite-infested plants and spider mite trails attract predatory mites?Ecological Research - Tập 24 - Trang 1173-1178 - 2009
Shuichi Yano, Masahiro Osakabe
We questioned the well-accepted concept that spider mite-infested plants attract
predatory mites from a distance. This idea is based on the preference
demonstrated by predatory mites such as Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot
(Acari: Phytoseiidae) for volatiles produced by spider mite-infested plants in a
closed environment (Y-tube wind tunnel). However, in natural open environments,

Species-specific features affect the ability of census-derived models to map winter avian distributionEcological Research - Tập 21 - Trang 681-691 - 2006
Luis M. Carrascal, Javier Seoane, David Palomino, César L. Alonso, Jorge M. Lobo
We identify autoecological traits of bird species that influence the accuracy of
predictive models of species distribution based on census data obtained from
stratified sampling. These models would serve as a complementary approach to the
development of regional bird atlases. We model the winter bird abundance of 64
terrestrial bird species in 77 census plots in Central Spain (Madrid province),

Tóm tắt Hô hấp đất (Rs) là một thành phần quan trọng trong việc ước lượng sản
lượng sinh thái ròng (NEP) của các rừng giàu có, vốn thường được coi là đã ngừng
tích tụ carbon. Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này là mô tả các mẫu không gian và thời
gian của Rs, và xác định các yếu tố tác động đến sự biến đổi không gian và thời
gian của Rs, sử dụng các mô hình tổng quát hỗn hợp tuyến tính (GLMM), trong một

Contrasting hydraulic strategies in Salix psammophila and Caragana korshinskii in the southern Mu Us Desert, ChinaEcological Research - Tập 31 - Trang 869-880 - 2016
Yangyang Li, Weiyue Chen, Jiacun Chen, Hui Shi
Salix psammophila and Caragana korshinskii are two common shrubs in the southern
Mu Us Desert, China. Their hydraulic strategies for adapting to this harsh, dry
desert environment are not yet clear. This study examined the hydraulic
transport efficiency, vulnerability to cavitation, and daily embolism refilling
in the leaves and stems of these two shrubs during the dry season. In order to
gain ins... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in soil and vegetation with stabilization of dunes in a desert–oasis ecotoneEcological Research - Tập 30 - Trang 639-650 - 2015
Guohua Wang, Wenzhi Zhao, Hu Liu, Gefei Zhang, Fang Li
Revegetation of indigenous plants in a desert–oasis ecotone is an effective way
of maintaining the stability of oases. Understanding the changes in vegetation
and soil is crucial for restoration management. The properties of soil and
vegetation at stabilized sites of different ages were investigated in a typical
desert–oasis ecotone, located in the Hexi Corridor region in arid northwestern
China, ... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial dispersion patterns of trees in a tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna, southwest ChinaEcological Research - Tập 24 Số 5 - Trang 1117-1124 - 2009

AbstractSpatial dispersion patterns of trees at different life stages are an
important aspect to investigate in understanding the mechanisms that facilitate
species co‐existence. In this paper, Ripley's univariate L(r) and bivariate
L12(r) functions were used to analyze spatial distribution patterns and spatial
associations across different life stages of 131 tree species in a 20‐ha plot of
a trop... hiện toàn bộ
A Markov approach for describing post-fire succession of vegetationEcological Research - Tập 5 - Trang 163-171 - 1990
Yuji Isagi, Nobukazu Nakagoshi
Vegetation dynamics in the coastal area of the Seto Inland Sea region in Japan,
where wild fires occur frequently, were described using a stationary Markov
model. In this region, vegetation types ofMiscanthus-Pleioblastus
grassland,Lespedeza-Mallotus scrub,Pinus-Rhododendron forest
andCrassocephalum-Erechtites community have been identified, and these show
cyclic succession under the influence of ... hiện toàn bộ
