Based on our findings, we urge for caution in obtaining community-wide characteristics from the results of multiple single-species studies.

Echinoderm population collapses, driven by disease outbreaks and climatic events, may be important drivers of population dynamics, ecological shifts and biodiversity. The northeast Pacific recently experienced a mass mortality of sea stars…

This study examines the relative importance of six variables: area, the mid-domain effect, temperature, precipitation, productivity, and habitat heterogeneity on elevational patterns of species richness for breeding birds along a central… Epichloë endophytes associated with cool-season grass species can protect their hosts from herbivory and can suppress mycorrhizal colonization of the hosts’ roots. However, little is known about whether or not Epichloë endophyte infection… Altitudinal patterns in the population ecology of mountain bird species are useful for predicting species occurrence and behavior. Numerous hypotheses about the complex interactions among environmental factors have been proposed; however… The glaciers in the Alps, as in other high mountain ranges and boreal zones, are generally retreating and leaving a wide surface of bare ground free from ice cover. Phylogenetics and phylogeography of versity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography. the Artibeus jamaicensis complex based on cytochrome-b Ecology Letters 10:315–331.

Lepomis macrochirus, commonly known as bluegill, is a freshwater teleost belonging to the sunfish family (Centrarchidae). It has been introduced Shrimp spend most of their time on the bottom, where attacks are more often successful. Avoidance of the bottom microhabitat by tadpoles therefore improves survival. In addition, and also in contrast to plant restoration ecology, the community context for a predator tends to be usefully conceptualized around trophic interactions first and foremost. Publications Authored by Zhu Kai At the population-level, biologists often interpret negative D M relationships as evidence of density-dependent survival or as models of ecosystem carrying capacity (i.e., the ‘self-thinning rule’)4,5.

Grazing extensification and intensification are among the main problems affecting European grasslands. We analyze the impact of grazing intensity (low and moderate) and the use of veterinary medical products (VMPs) on the dung beetle…

17 Feb 2006 Community ecology is the study of a set of species co- occurring at a given time and place. MacArthur suggested that the goal of community ecology (as of us: Brian Maurer, Gary Mittelbach and Mike Rosenzweig. We also poorest countries to gain free access to biomedical literature through the Internet.

Environmental homogenization in coastal ecosystems impacted by human activities may be an important factor explaining the observed decline in fish species richness. We used fish community data (>200 species) from extensive surveys conducted… Echinoderm population collapses, driven by disease outbreaks and climatic events, may be important drivers of population dynamics, ecological shifts and biodiversity. The northeast Pacific recently experienced a mass mortality of sea stars…
