Shifting gears for the use of the shifting baseline syndrome in ecological restoration
(MDPI AG, 2019)
There are two barriers to accomplishing restoration of ecosystems: insufficient information about historical baselines to guide restoration, and shifts between the actual baselines and perceptions about historical conditions. ...
Toward conceptual cohesiveness: A historical analysis of the theory and utility of ecological boundaries and transition zones
(2007)
Ecological transition zones are increasingly recognized as systems that play a critical role in controlling or modifying flows of organisms, materials, and energy across landscapes. Many concepts describing transitional ...
Molecular Analysis of Bacterial Microbiota Associated with Oysters (Crassostrea gigas and Crassostrea corteziensis) in Different Growth Phases at Two Cultivation Sites
(2012)
Microbiota presumably plays an essential role in inhibiting pathogen colonization and in the maintenance of health in oysters, but limited data exist concerning their different growth phases and conditions. We analyzed the ...
Water markets and social-ecological resilience to water stress in the context of climate change: an analysis of the Limari Basin, Chile
(Springer, 2020)
The paper proposes an analysis of the social-ecological resilience of the Limari Basin, an agriculture-intensive dryland in the north of Chile, featuring one of the most innovative market-based water managements and the ...
Molecular analysis of microbiota along the digestive tract of juvenile atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Springer New York, 2009)
Dominant bacterial microbiota of the gut of juvenile farmed Atlantic salmon was investigated using a combination of molecular approaches. Bacterial community composition from the stomach, the pyloric caeca, and the intestine ...
Lack of costs of herbivory-induced defenses in a wild wheat: Integration of physiological and ecological approaches
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1997)
Aphid infestation triggered a significant induction of hydroxamic acids (Hx) in wild wheat Triticum uniaristatum seedlings in comparison to control seedlings. We hypothesized that indirect costs of Hx induction (expressed ...
Endangered species, archaeology, and stable isotopes: Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) isotopic ecology in central-western Patagonia (South America)
(Academic Press, 2011)
The management and conservation of animal species should be based upon a long-term analysis that considers its geographical distribution and feeding patterns. The study of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes on skeletal ...
Optimization of land use at Mt. Yuelu scenic area: an analysis using the ecological green equivalent
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias - Departamento de Geociencia, 2016-01-01)
This study applies the ecological green equivalent approach to evaluating the land use structure of Mt. Yuelu scenic area in Hunan Province, China. A mathematical model is established based on land use and land cover data, ...
Understanding the distribution of a threatened bird at multiple levels: A hierarchical analysis of the ecological niche of the Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant (Myiotheretes pernix)
(Cooper Ornithological Soc., 2015)
An understanding of the ecological factors determining bird species’ distributions is essential for making informed
conservation decisions. These data are especially important for range-restricted species, such as the ...
