The hidden side of diversity: Effects of imperfect detection on multiple dimensions of biodiversity by Aline Richter, Gabriel Nakamura, Cristiano AgraIserhard, Leandro da SilvaDuarte

“…We demonstrate that ignore imperfect detection may lead to unrealistic estimates of diversity and hence to erroneous interpretations of patterns and processes that structure biological communities. For fruit‐feeding butterflies, according to their phylogenetic position or functional traits, the undetected individuals triggered different responses in the relationship of the diversity measures to the environmental factor. …”

A novel approach for accurate quantification of lake residence time — Lake Kinneret as a case study by Yael Gilboa, Eran Friedler, Firas Talhami, Gideon Gal

“…The approach is based on the Leslie matrix model that was originally developed for the analysis of age-structured biological population dynamics. In this approach the water in the lake is divided into different age classes each representing the time since the “parcel” of water entered the lake and provides an overall picture of the water age structure. …”
