Associações de espécies de peixes em ambientes lóticos da bacia do rio Iguatemi, Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul
(2003-07-01)
The aim of this paper is to describe the patterns of associations between fish species and their distribution in lotic habitats at basin level. Samples were accomplished in 27 localities of Iguatemi river basin, distributed ...
Temperate snake community in South America: Is diet determined by phylogeny or ecology?
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05)
Communities are complex and dynamic systems that change with time. The first attempts to explain how they were structured involve contemporary phenomena like ecological interactions between species (e.g., competition and ...
Taylor's power law for ecological communities: an explanation on nonextensive/nonlinear statistical grounds
(2014)
A new idea on how to conceptually interpret the so-called Taylor’s power law for ecological communities is presented. The core of our approach is based on nonextensive/nonlinear statistical concepts, which are shown to be ...
Landscape heterogeneity and forest cover shape cavity-nesting hymenopteran communities in a multi-scale perspective
(2021-11-01)
Increasing biodiversity loss due to human activities may compromise ecosystem functions and services, with serious consequences for human well-being. Pollination and biological control are among the ecosystem services most ...
Influence Of Plant-pollinator Interactions On The Assembly Of Plant And Hummingbird Communities
(Wiley-BlackwellHoboken, 2017)
Bamboo shapes the fine-scale richness, abundance, and habitat use of small mammals in a forest fragment
(2022-01-01)
A classic question in community ecology is how species coexist within a community. Studies have sought to understand how species occurrence vary according to habitat structure, space, food, predators, and competitors. Small ...
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 ...
Seed germination traits can contribute better to plant community ecology
(2016-05-01)
Analyses of functional traits have become fundamental tools for understanding patterns and processes in plant community ecology. In this context, regenerative seed traits play an important, yet overlooked, role because ...
The impact of micropollutants on native algae and cyanobacteria communities in ecological filters during drinking water treatment
(2022-05-20)
An attractive alternative for drinking water production is ecological filtration. Previous studies have reported high removal levels of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) by this technology. Algae and ...
