Potential distribution model of Leontochir ovallei using remote sensing data
(UNIV POLITECNICA VALENCIA, EDITORIAL UPV, 2019)
Predicting the potential distribution of short-lived species with a narrow natural distribution range is a difficult task, especially when there is limited field data. The possible distribution of L. ovallei was modeled ...
Global ecological predictors of the soil priming effect
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Identifying the global drivers of soil priming is essential to understanding C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We conducted a survey of soils across 86 globally-distributed locations, spanning a wide range of climates, ...
Bacterial community structure in a sympagic habitat expanding with global warming: brackish ice brine at 85-90 degrees N
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Larger volumes of sea ice have been thawing in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) during the last decades than during the past 800,000 years. Brackish brine (fed by meltwater inside the ice) is an expanding sympagic habitat ...
Summer phyto- and bacterioplankton communities during low and high productivity scenarios in the Western Antarctic Peninsula
(SPRINGER, 2019)
Phytoplankton blooms taking place during the warm season drive high productivity in Antarctic coastal seawaters. Important temporal and spatial variations exist in productivity patterns, indicating local constraints ...
Seabird and pinniped shape soil bacterial communities of their settlements in Cape Shirreff, Antarctica
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Seabirds and pinnipeds play an important role in biogeochemical cycling by transferring nutrients from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Indeed, soils rich in animal depositions have generally high organic carbon, ...
Two novel azaspiracids from Azadinium poporum, and a comprehensive compilation of azaspiracids produced by Amphidomataceae, (Dinophyceae)
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019)
Two novel azaspiracids (AZA) with a molecular mass of 869 Da were found in Pacific strains of Azadinium poporum and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). One compound, ...
Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019)
Belowground organisms play critical roles in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes, including plant productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, however, we have a limited understanding ...
Multiple mating is linked to social setting and benefits the males in a communally rearing mammal
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019)
Individuals in social species may mate with multiple opposite-sex individuals, including members of the same or different social groups. This variation may be linked to genetic benefits, where multiple mating decreases ...
Temporal variation in the influence of forest succession on caterpillar communities: A long-term study in a tropical dry forest
(WILEY, 2019)
Forest succession can influence herbivore communities through changes in host availability, plant quality, microclimate, canopy structure complexity and predator abundance. It is not well known, however, if such influence ...
Non-trophic interactions strengthen the diversity-functioning relationship in an ecological bioenergetic network model
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Ecological communities are undeniably diverse, both in terms of the species that compose them as well as the type of interactions that link species to each other. Despite this long recognition of the coexistence of multiple ...
