Functional traits, the phylogeny of function, and ecosystem service vulnerability Tập 3 Số 9 - Trang 2958-2975 - 2013
Sandra Dı́az, Andy Purvis, Johannes H. C. Cornelissen, Georgina M. Mace, Michael J. Donoghue, Robert M. Ewers, Pedro Jordano, William D. Pearse
AbstractPeople depend on benefits provided by ecological systems. Understanding how these ecosystem services – and the ecosystem properties underpinning them – respond to drivers of change is therefore an urgent priority. We address this challenge through developing a novel risk‐assessment framework that integrates ecological and evolutionary perspectives on functi...... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding the population consequences of disturbance Tập 8 Số 19 - Trang 9934-9946 - 2018
Enrico Pirotta, Cormac Booth, Daniel P. Costa, Erica Fleishman, Scott D. Kraus, David Lusseau, David Moretti, Leslie New, Robert S. Schick, Lisa K. Schwarz, Samantha E. Simmons, Len Thomas, Peter L. Tyack, Michael J. Weise, Randall S. Wells, John Harwood
AbstractManaging the nonlethal effects of disturbance on wildlife populations has been a long‐term goal for decision makers, managers, and ecologists, and assessment of these effects is currently required by European Union and United States legislation. However, robust assessment of these effects is challenging. The management of human activities that have nonletha...... hiện toàn bộ
The proportion of impervious surfaces at the landscape scale structures wild bee assemblages in a densely populated region Tập 6 Số 18 - Trang 6599-6615 - 2016
Benoît Geslin, Violette Le Féon, Morgane Folschweiller, Floriane Flacher, David Carmignac, Eric Motard, Samuel Perret, Isabelle Dajoz
AbstractGiven the predicted expansion of cities throughout the world, understanding the effect of urbanization on bee fauna is a major issue for the conservation of bees. The aim of this study was to understand how urbanization affects wild bee assemblages along a gradient of impervious surfaces and to determine the influence of landscape composition and floral res...... hiện toàn bộ
The fate of the Arctic seaweed Fucus distichus under climate change: an ecological niche modeling approach Tập 6 Số 6 - Trang 1712-1724 - 2016
Alexander Jueterbock, Irina Smolina, James A. Coyer, Galice Hoarau
AbstractRising temperatures are predicted to melt all perennial ice cover in the Arctic by the end of this century, thus opening up suitable habitat for temperate and subarctic species. Canopy‐forming seaweeds provide an ideal system to predict the potential impact of climate‐change on rocky‐shore ecosystems, given their direct dependence on temperature and their k...... hiện toàn bộ
Disentangling host, pathogen, and environmental determinants of a recently emerged wildlife disease: lessons from the first 15 years of amphibian chytridiomycosis research Tập 5 Số 18 - Trang 4079-4097 - 2015
Timothy Y. James, Luı́s Felipe Toledo, Dennis Rödder, Domingos da Silva Leite, Anat M. Belasen, Clarisse M. Betancourt‐Román, Thomas S. Jenkinson, Claudio Azat, Carolina Lambertini, Ana V. Longo, Joice Ruggeri, James P. Collins, Patricia A. Burrowes, Karen R. Lips, Kelly R. Zamudio, Joyce E. Longcore
AbstractThe amphibian fungal disease chytridiomycosis, which affects species across all continents, recently emerged as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Yet, many aspects of the basic biology and epidemiology of the pathogen,Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis(Bd), are still unknown, such as when and from...... hiện toàn bộ
