The dynamics of social networks among female Asian elephants
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-16 - 2011
Patterns in the association of individuals can shed light on the underlying conditions and processes that shape societies. Here we characterize patterns of association in a population of wild Asian Elephants at Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka. We observed 286 individually-identified adult female elephants over 20 months and examined their social dynamics at three levels of organization: pair......
Temporal development and collapse of an Arctic plant-pollinator networkAbstract
Background
The temporal dynamics and formation of plant-pollinator networks are difficult to study as it requires detailed observations of how the networks change over time. Understanding the temporal dynamics might provide insight into sustainability and robustness of the networks and h... ...

An open future for ecological and evolutionary data?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
As part of BioMed Central’s open science mission, we are pleased to announce that two of our journals have integrated with the open data repository Dryad. Authors submitting their research to either BMC Ecology or BMC Evolutionary Biology will now have the opportunity to deposit their data directly into the Dryad archive and will receive a permanent, citable link to their dataset. Although this do......
Burrow characteristics of the co-existing sibling species Mus booduga and Mus terricolor and the genetic basis of adaptation to hypoxic/hypercapnic stress
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2009
The co-existing, sibling species Mus booduga and Mus terricolor show a difference in site-preference for burrows. The former build them in flat portion of the fields while the latter make burrows in earthen mounds raised for holding water in cultivated fields. In northern India which experiences great variation in climatic condition between summer and winter, M. booduga burrows have an average dep......
Capturing chloroplast variation for molecular ecology studies: a simple next generation sequencing approach applied to a rainforest tree
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-11 - 2013
With high quantity and quality data production and low cost, next generation sequencing has the potential to provide new opportunities for plant phylogeographic studies on single and multiple species. Here we present an approach for in silicio chloroplast DNA assembly and single nucleotide polymorphism detection from short-read shotgun sequencing. The approach is simple and effective and can be im......
A rate equation model of stomatal responses to vapour pressure deficit and drought
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-14 - 2002
Stomata respond to vapour pressure deficit (D) – when D increases, stomata begin to close. Closure is the result of a decline in guard cell turgor, but the link between D and turgor is poorly understood. We describe a model for stomatal responses to increasing D based upon cellular water relations. The model also incorporates impacts of increasing levels of water stress upon stomatal responses to ......
Seasonal cues induce phenotypic plasticity of Drosophila suzukii to enhance winter survival
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-18 - 2016
As global climate change and exponential human population growth intensifies pressure on agricultural systems, the need to effectively manage invasive insect pests is becoming increasingly important to global food security. Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest that drastically expanded its global range in a very short time since 2008, spreading to most areas in North America and many countries i......
Enhancing healthy ecosystems in northern Ghana through eco-friendly farm-based practices: insights from irrigation scheme-types
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1-11 - 2019
Farming practices vary from farmer to farmer and from place to place depending on a number of factors including the agroclimatic condition, infrastructure (e.g. irrigation facilities) and management mechanisms (private versus state management). These together affect the functioning and sustainability of the ecosystems. For the sustainability of ecosystems, farmers need to employ ecosystem-based fa......
Environmental variation mediates the prevalence and co-occurrence of parasites in the common lizard, Zootoca viviparaAbstract
Background
Hosts and their parasites are under reciprocal selection, leading to coevolution. However, parasites depend not only on a host, but also on the host’s environment. In addition, a single host species is rarely infested by a single species of parasite and often suppo... ...

Age-dependent induction of immunity and subsequent survival costs in males and females of a temperate damselfly
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-13 - 2006
To understand variation in resistance to parasites within host populations, researchers have examined conditions under which immunity is induced and/or is costly. Both host sex and age have been found to influence immune expression and subsequently are likely factors influencing the costs of resistance. The purpose of this study was to examine immune expression and associated survival costs for tw......
