On the selection of thresholds for predicting species occurrence with presence‐only data
Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 337-348 - 2016
AbstractPresence‐only data present challenges for selecting thresholds to
transform species distribution modeling results into binary outputs. In this
article, we compare two recently published threshold selection methods (maxSSS
and maxFpb) and examine the effectiveness of the threshold‐based prevalence
estimation approach. Six virtual species with varying prevalence were simulated
within a real ...
Functional traits, the phylogeny of function, and ecosystem service vulnerability
Tập 3 Số 9 - Trang 2958-2975 - 2013
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 functional traits to determine
species’...
Understanding the population consequences of disturbance
Tập 8 Số 19 - Trang 9934-9946 - 2018
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 nonlethal effects on wildlife is a
specif...
Patterns in root traits of woody species hosting arbuscular and ectomycorrhizas: implications for the evolution of belowground strategies
Tập 4 Số 15 - Trang 2979-2990 - 2014
AbstractRoot traits vary enormously among plant species but we have little
understanding of how this variation affects their functioning. Of central
interest is how root traits are related to plant resource acquisition strategies
from soil. We examined root traits of 33 woody species from northeastern US
forests that form two of the most common types of mutualisms with fungi,
arbuscular mycorrhiza...
Toward accurate molecular identification of species in complex environmental samples: testing the performance of sequence filtering and clustering methods
Tập 5 Số 11 - Trang 2252-2266 - 2015
AbstractMetabarcoding has the potential to become a rapid, sensitive, and
effective approach for identifying species in complex environmental samples.
Accurate molecular identification of species depends on the ability to generate
operational taxonomic units (OTUs) that correspond to biological species. Due to
the sometimes enormous estimates of biodiversity using this method, there is a
great nee...
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
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 resource
availability on these assem...
The fate of the Arctic seaweed Fucus distichus under climate change: an ecological niche modeling approach
Tập 6 Số 6 - Trang 1712-1724 - 2016
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 key role in the
ecological system....
Edge responses are different in edges under natural versus anthropogenic influence: a meta‐analysis using ground beetles
Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 1009-1017 - 2017
AbstractMost edges are anthropogenic in origin, but are distinguishable by their
maintaining processes (natural vs. continued anthropogenic interventions:
forestry, agriculture, urbanization). We hypothesized that the dissimilar edge
histories will be reflected in the diversity and assemblage composition of
inhabitants. Testing this “history‐based edge effect” hypothesis, we evaluated
published in...
The Urban Heat Island and its spatial scale dependent impact on survival and development in butterflies of different thermal sensitivity
Tập 6 Số 12 - Trang 4129-4140 - 2016
AbstractClimate alteration is one of the most cited ecological consequences of
urbanization. However, the magnitude of this impact is likely to vary with
spatial scale. We investigated how this alteration affects the biological
fitness of insects, which are especially sensitive to ambient conditions and
well‐suited organisms to study urbanization‐related changes in phenotypic
traits. We monitored ...
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
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 where didBdemerge and what is its true ecological niche? Here, we review
the ecology a...
