in EcologyEffects of climate and land-use changes on fish catches across lakes at a global scale
Choice of modeling approach We chose to use a Bayesian networks modeling approach because it could minimize negative effects of data limitations on the statistical power of our analysis, by accounting for our understanding of multi-level, causal processes that could underlie changes in CATCHs in response to changes in climate and land use across lakes. […] More

in EcologyPotential sex-dependent effects of weather on apparent survival of a high-elevation specialist
Study site and the capture-recapture data set From June 2003 to June 2017, 671 snowfinches were caught in the Apennines, within the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, Italy, specifically within an area of 3 km2 around Campo Imperatore (42°27 N, 13°34 E, 2200 m asl, see48). Birds were captured all year round, using mist nets […] More

in EcologySurvival chances of a prey swarm: how the cooperative interaction range affects the outcome
We have studied the prey-predator dynamics by solving the coupled Eqs. (4) and (5) numerically. We have investigated the escape dynamics for a wide range of parameter values by varying the prey group size (N), interaction radius ({R}_{{rm{i}}nt}), and also the strength of interactions between prey and the predator. Here, we present the dynamics for […] More

in EcologyRemote sensing reveals Antarctic green snow algae as important terrestrial carbon sink
Ground validation campaign Coastal snow fields at both field sites had visible blooms of green and red snow algae (see Fig. 1), ranging from 10s of cm2 to 100s of m2 in area. Early in the melt season (December/January), green snow algae was primarily observed within a band of slush between the seasonal and perennial snow […] More
