Public attitudes toward biodiversity‐friendly greenspace management in Europe
(Wiley, 2020)
Increasing urbanization worldwide calls for more sustainable urban development. Simultaneously, the global biodiversity crisis accentuates the need of fostering biodiversity within cities. Policies supporting urban nature ...
Relationship between salt use in fish farms and driftof macroinvertebrates in a freshwater stream
(Inter Research, 2020)
In Chile, salt (NaCl) use per salmon fish farm ranges between 20-30 t yr(-1) and is used to prevent and control fungal infections. An increase in salinity in freshwater can have adverse effects on freshwater biodiversity ...
Genotyping-by-sequencing resolves relationships in Polygonaceae tribe Eriogoneae
(Wiley, 2021-08)
The resolution of cryptic diversity is essential for understanding the evolutionary diversification of lineages and establishing conservation priorities. We examine relationships in Eriogoneae (Polygonaceae), a diverse ...
Distance decay 2.0 – A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities
(Wiley, 2022-07)
Aim: Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., beta-diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine beta-diversity is to evaluate directional variation ...
A wheat cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase confersbroad-spectrum resistance against Septoria tritici blotch
(Nature, 2021-01-19)
The poverty of disease resistance gene reservoirs limits the breeding of crops for durable resistance against evolutionary dynamic pathogens. Zymoseptoria tritici which causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), represents one ...
Acceptance of Near-Natural Greenspace Management Relates to Ecological and Socio-Cultural Assigned Values Among European Urbanites
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently ...
Comparison of Sampling Methods for Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Forested Wetlands
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Forest wetlands are biodiversity hotspots that perform functions of vital ecological importance, but they are among the world's most threatened ecosystems. Due to their high diversity of habitats and species, the study of ...
Potential alien ranges of European plants will shrink in the future, but less so for already naturalized than for not yet naturalized species
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Aims The rapid increase in the number of species that have naturalized beyond their native range is among the most apparent features of the Anthropocene. How alien species will respond to other processes of future global ...
Light and flow regimes regulate the metabolism of rivers
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022-02-22)
Mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation drive much of the variation in productivity across Earth's terrestrial ecosystems but do not explain variation in gross primary productivity (GPP) or ecosystem respiration ...
Short-Term Exposure to High Atmospheric Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) Severely Impacts Durum Wheat Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in the Absence of Edaphic Water Stress
(MDPI, 2021-01-08)
Low atmospheric relative humidity (RH) accompanied by elevated air temperature and decreased precipitation are environmental challenges that wheat production will face in future decades. These changes to the atmosphere are ...
