    Abstract : Nowhere else on Earth are there so many species of plants and animals as in the Neotropical region. Yet, many questions remain concerning the causes underlying such outstanding diversification. READ MORE

  5. 3. Eco-evolutionary processes and community patterns--- novel avenues for studying biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales

    Author : Yun-Ting Jang; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eco-evolutionary dynamics; Community diversity patterns; Spatial phylogenetic patterns; Adaptive dynamics; Elevational diversity gradients; Theoretical ecology; Simulation models; Predation; Competition;

    Abstract : Understanding biodiversity patterns poses a persistent challenge due to the complex interconnections of ecological and evolutionary processes. The particular difficulty comes from the various processes influencing biodiversity patterns across different spatial scales. READ MORE

  6. 4. Survival patterns and density-dependent processes in breeding mallards Anas platyrhynchos

    Author : Gunnar Gunnarsson; Kjell Sjöberg; Johan Elmberg; Per Lundberg; Robert Clark; Högskolan Kristianstad; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; broods; dabbling ducks; density dependence; ducklings; experiments; models; mortality; nest predation; regulation; survival; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestrisk ekologi;

    Abstract : Measuring and assessing vital rates such as births and deaths are prerequisites for understanding population dynamics. Vital rates may be affected by the density of individuals, even though the importance of density dependence on population dynamics has been debated for a long time. READ MORE

  7. 5. Intramolecular isotope analysis reveals plant ecophysiological signals covering multiple timescales
