DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9605
Abstract: Abstract Ecologists rely on various functional traits when investigating the functioning of ecological systems and its responses to global changes. Changing nutrient levels, for example, can affect taxa expressing different trait combinations in various ways,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jemt.23608
Abstract: The family Scrophulariaceae consists of taxonomically complex genera and species. The delimitation of the taxa within this family is always challenging. In this paper, we studied leaf epidermis anatomical characteristics and its taxonomic significance of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02632-3
Abstract: There is growing evidence that increased Pacific water transport into the Arctic affects the marine ecosystem. One of the theoretical predictions for a future Arctic characterized by such environmental change is that subarctic taxa will… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00497-020-00398-6
Abstract: High-quality pollen is a prerequisite for plant reproductive success. Pollen viability and sterility can be routinely assessed using common stains and manual microscope examination, but with low overall statistical power. Current automated methods are primarily… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00503-w
Abstract: Exotic forest insects and pathogens (EFIP) have become regular features of temperate forest ecosystems, yet we lack a long-term perspective on their net impacts on tree mortality, carbon sequestration, and tree species diversity. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3870-y
Abstract: Invertebrate drift is an important ecological process but factors affecting the downstream transport of invertebrates are difficult to assess. The influence of water velocity on drift entry rates is still unclear and has rarely been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-020-00146-7
Abstract: The study of intestinal parasite communities is an important aspect of conservation biology, disease ecology, and wildlife health. Researchers can use the presence of select micro- and macroparasites as an indicator of host health. Only… read more here.

Cross-taxonomic surrogates for biodiversity conservation in human-modified landscapes – A multi-taxa approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.06.008
Abstract: Abstract Cross-taxonomic surrogates are often used in conservation planning because inventorying large suites of taxa is either not feasible or too costly. However, cross-taxonomic surrogates are seldom tested rigorously using both correlational and representation-based approaches… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Plankton fauna nocturnally migrating from the sea-floor or near-bottom layer to the uppermost surface layer (benthoneuston) links benthic, benthopelagic, pelagic, and neustonic realms. We conducted five intervals of sampling (every 1–2 h during five nights)… read more here.
