Life history traits and secondary production of Campsurus violaceus (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) in the Paraná River floodplain lakes, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-04)
Campsurus nymphs are among the most abundant mayflies in neotropical aquatic habitats. The abundance patterns and secondary production of Campsurus violaceus were analyzed monthly from April 2005 to March 2006 in lakes ...
Heritability of morphological and life history traits in a pelagic tunicate
(Inter-research, 2011-01)
Populations may adapt in response to selection pressures imposed by global environmental change. In marine zooplankton, measurements of the heritability of key life history characters, and thus the potential for evolution, ...
A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-05)
Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ...
Dataset of occurrences and ecological traits of amphibians from Upper Paraguay River Basin, central South America
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-09-02)
There are many gaps in our biodiversity knowledge, especially in highly diverse regions such as the Neotropics. Basic information on species occurrence and traits are scattered throughout different literature sources, which ...
Trait contributions to fish community assembly emerge from trophic interactions in an individual-based model
(2013-02-04)
Community ecology seeks to understand and predict the characteristics of communities that can develop under different environmental conditions, but most theory has been built on analytical models that are limited in the ...
Latitudinal differences in life-history traits and parental care in northern and southern temperate zone House Wrens
(Springer, 2015-03)
South temperate songbirds differ from northtemperate species in life-history traits, having greater adultsurvival, smaller clutch size, longer developmental periodsand extended parental care. Due to its broad distribution,the ...
Changes in sex-ratios of a dioecious grass with grazing intensity: the interplay between gender traits, neighbour interactions and spatial patterns
(Wiley, 2013-09)
1. Dioecious plants frequently face sex-related resource allocation trade-offs. Differential traits of male and female plants can have important consequences that influence their direct and indirect interactions with ...
Hung Out to Dry: Choice of Priority Ecoregions for Conserving Threatened Neotropical Anurans Depends on Life-History Traits
(Public Library Science, 2008-05-07)
Background: In the Neotropics, nearly 35% of amphibian species are threatened by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and habitat split; anuran species with different developmental modes respond to habitat disturbance in ...
The dimensionality of ecological networks
(2013-05-01)
How many dimensions (trait-axes) are required to predict whether two species interact? This unanswered question originated with the idea of ecological niches, and yet bears relevance today for understanding what determines ...
