The role of frugivory in plant diversity maintenance - a simulation approach
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-01)
Frugivores may play a key role in plant species coexistence by equalizing the species’ representation in the seed rain. Rare species may benefit from enhanced dispersal if frugivores prefer locally scarce fruits, or if ...
Coarse-Grained Simulations of Protein Folding: Bridging Theory and Experiments
(2022-01-01)
Computational coarse-grained models play a fundamental role as a research tool in protein folding, and they are important in bridging theory and experiments. Folding mechanisms are generally discussed using the energy ...
Non-additive effects of alternative stable states on landscape flammability in NW Patagonia: Fire history and simulation modelling evidence
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-01)
Understanding the relationship between flammability and time since fire (TSF) is crucial for predicting ecosystem responses to changes in fire regimes. Landscapes composed of alternative stable states displaying positive ...
Landscape Diversity Influences Dispersal and Establishment of Pest with Complex Nutritional Ecology
(Springer, 2014-07-01)
We studied the effects of landscape structure on species with resource nutritional partition between the immature and adult stages by investigating how food quality and spatial structure of a landscape may affect the ...
Synergism Between Payments for Water-Related Ecosystem Services, Ecological Restoration, and Landscape Connectivity Within the Atlantic Forest Hotspot
(Sage Publications Inc, 2018-08-08)
Restoration projects designed to promote one ecosystem service may have synergistic benefits to other services. Therefore, bundling them can be an effective way to maximize the return to the investments in programs of ...
Site Selection for Restoration Planning: A Protocol With Landscape and Legislation Based Alternatives
(Assoc Brasileira Ciencia Ecologica E Conservacao, 2013-12-01)
Selecting sites for ecological restoration is an imperative, although challenging task. We developed a spatially explicit model to support site design and prioritization towards ecological restoration. We considered seven ...
Combining land cover, animal behavior, and master plan regulations to assess landscape permeability for birds
(2021-10-01)
Cities are new and expanding ecosystems that harbor a variety of habitats with different degrees of permeability to the local fauna. However, the assessment of urban landscape permeability usually considers biotic and ...
Discrete Kinetic Models from Funneled Energy Landscape Simulations
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12)
A general method for facilitating the interpretation of computer simulations of protein folding with minimally frustrated energy landscapes is detailed and applied to a designed ankyrin repeat protein (4ANK). In the method, ...
The influence of landscape characteristics and home-range size on the quantification of landscape-genetics relationships
(Springer, 2012-02-01)
A common approach used to estimate landscape resistance involves comparing correlations of ecological and genetic distances calculated among individuals of a species. However, the location of sampled individuals may contain ...
