Which environmental variables better explain changes in anuran community composition? A case study in the restinga of Mata de São João, Bahia, Brazil
(2007)
Most studies of amphibian communities are restricted to aquatic environments, which precludes sound descriptions of changes in composition throughout entire habitats. Moreover, few works focus on the environmental processes ...
Beta diversity along an elevational gradient at the pico da neblina (Brazil): Is spider (arachnida-araneae) community composition congruent with the guayana region elevational zonation?
(2021-12-01)
Beta diversity is usually high along elevational gradients. We studied a spider community at the Pico da Neblina (Brazil), an Amazonian mountain which is one of the southern components of the Guayana region. We sampled six ...
A community-based approach to integrating socio, cultural and environmental contexts in the development of a food database for indigenous and rural populations: The case of the batwa and bakiga in south-western Uganda
(MDPI, 2021)
Comprehensive food lists and databases are a critical input for programs aiming to alleviate undernutrition. However, standard methods for developing them may produce databases that are irrelevant for marginalised groups ...
Bacterial community structure in Patagonian Andean lakes above and below timberline: from community composition to community function
(Springer, 2014-10)
Lakes located above the timberline are remote systems with a number of extreme environmental conditions, becoming physically harsh ecosystems, and sensors of global change. We analyze bacterial community composition and ...
Early successional patterns of bacterial communities in soil microcosms reveal changes in bacterial community composition and network architecture, depending on the successional condition.
Soil ecosystem dynamics are influenced by the composition of bacterial communities and environmental conditions. A common approach to study bacterial successional dynamics is to survey the trajectories and patterns that ...
Biomass and elemental composition (C, N, H) of the periphytic community attached to Polygonum punctatum Ell. in a subtropical reservoir and its relationship to environmental factors
(Asoc Espan Limnol-mislata, 2013-12-01)
The periphytic communities in Brazilian reservoirs have been studied widely due to their importance for the assimilation of nutrients and their role at the base of the food chain. The objective of the present work was to ...
Soil Fungal Community Composition Correlates with Site-Specific Abiotic Factors, Tree Community Structure, and Forest Age in Regenerating Tropical Rainforests
(2021)
Successional dynamics of plants and animals during tropical forest regeneration have been thoroughly studied, while fungal compositional dynamics during tropical forest succession remain unknown, despite the crucial roles ...
Microbial community composition and network analyses in arid soils of the Patagonian Monte under grazing disturbance reveal an important response of the community to soil particle size
(Elsevier Science, 2019-06)
The effects of livestock grazing on soil microbial communities are not fully understood in arid regions, where water limitations can have significant consequences on soil health and biological processes. Neither are ...
