Methods for studying earthworm dispersal
Dispersal is a key driver of species composition and functional traits in earthworm communities. However, it has been largely overlooked in ecological literature on earthworms because it is particularly difficult to study. In this publication, we review recent developments that have been made in this field of research. We present methods to assess ...
High-precision U-Pb zircon ages for explosive volcanism calibrating the NW European continental Autunian stratotype
Volcanism was intense in western European basins during the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian transition, related to the late Variscan extension and associated magmatism. In the Autun Basin, explosive eruptions, expressed as highly weathered distal ashfall deposits (tonsteins), were preserved in lacustrine to swamp environments. The analysis of elev...
Data and Operational Oceanography: A Review in Support of Responsible Fisheries and Aquaculture
Data obtained within the operational oceanography infrastructures denote a possibility of significant analysis of fisheries in the progress of the implementation of the 1995 FAO Code for Responsible Fisheries. Data products for fisheries and aquaculture cater for research needs, thereby ensuring a capacity to meet temporal resolution, time frame, r...

How to design trait-based analyses of community assembly mechanisms: insights and guidelines from a literature review
One of the fundamental challenges in ecology is to identify the signature of assembly mechanisms resulting from patterns of community composition. For this purpose, the trait-based approach has promoted the analysis of functional trait distributions within communities. Until now, much attention has been paid to the design of appropriate null models...
The summary-likelihood method and its implementation in the Infusion package.
Published in Molecular ecology resources
In recent years, simulation methods such as approximate Bayesian computation have extensively been used to infer parameters of population genetic models where the likelihood is intractable. We describe an alternative approach, summary likelihood, that provides a likelihood-based analysis of the information retained in the summary statistics whose d...
Least-biased estimations of true species richness of butterfly fauna in sub-urban sites around Jhansi (India) and the ra...
As a rule, most biodiversity inventories at local scales remain more or less incomplete, when dealing with relatively speciose taxonomic groups, such as butterfly in tropical regions. Yet, it remains possible to take maximum advantage of partial inventories and to develop reliable predictions by extrapolating the species accumulation curves beyond ...
Nitrogen fixation in the eastern Atlantic reaches similar levels in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere
...
Euphotic layer dinitrogen (N-2) fixation and primary production (PP) were measured in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (38 degrees N-21 degrees S) using N-15(2) and C-13 bicarbonate tracer incubations. This region is influenced by Saharan dust deposition and waters with low nitrogen to phosphorus (N/P) ratios originating from the Subantarctic and the Ben...
