Trade-offs and synergies of ecosystem services in karst multi-mountainous cities
Published 2024-02-01“…In karst multi-mountainous cities (KMCs), the unique landscape pattern, fragile ecological environment, and intense human disturbance contribute to accelerated rocky desertification and degradation of ESs. Studying ES trade-offs and synergies provides scientific guidance for formulating ecological management policies, enhancing ES value, and mitigating rocky desertification in KMCs. …”

Invasive shallow-water foraminifera impacts local biodiversity mostly at densities above 20 %: the case of Corfu Island
Published 2023-07-01“…The main ecological drivers for the assemblage compositions were water depth, sediment texture, and habitat (especially vegetation), resulting in three main assemblage clusters around the island: (1) sandy or rocky, shallow-water areas from the south and west; (2) deeper areas from the west; and (3) rocky, vegetated areas of variable depths from the northwest and northeastern parts of the island.…”

Distribution of a climate‐sensitive species at an interior range margin
Published 2016-06-01“…We addressed this hypothesis using data from an interior, climatic range margin of the American pika (Ochotona princeps), an indicator of relatively cool, mesic climates in rocky habitats of western North America. Pikas in Lava Beds National Monument, northeastern California, USA, occur at elevations much lower than predicted by latitude and longitude. …”

Ontogenetic dietary and habitat shifts in goliath grouper Epinephelus itajara from French Guiana
Published 2015-04-01“…Analysis of δ13C and δ15N in muscle samples indicated that: (1) larger fish fed more on higher trophic levels; (2) low seasonal and spatial variation existed in the diet; and (3) an apparent migration of early juveniles occurred from mangrove areas to rocky reefs. In French Guiana, adult and juvenile goliath groupers share marine rocky habitat, and the data suggest they may avoid food competition by a shift in diet with size.…”
