The Seaward Migration of European Eel at a Continental Scale: A Europe‐Wide Biotelemetry Meta‐AnalysisNARA Subscribed
The European eel ( Anguilla anguilla L.) has a catadromous life cycle, with a single panmictic population that colonises continental Europe and northern Africa yet migrates 5000 to 9000 km to spawn in the Atlantic Ocean. It is unknown how this continental migration is organised so individual eels arrive in time for spawning with conspecifics. This meta‐analysis combined tracking data from 18 water bodies in freshwater and tran...
Wind and small mammals are complementary fungal dispersersNARA Subscribed
Following a disturbance, dispersal shapes community composition as well as ecosystem structure and function. For fungi, dispersal is often wind or mammal facilitated, but it is unclear whether these pathways are complementary or redundant in the taxa they disperse and the ecosystem functions they provide. Here, we compare the diversity and morphology of fungi dispersed by wind and three rodent species in recently harvested for...
Do not transform food systems on the backs of the rural poorNARA Subscribed
Barriers in the estuaries of the rivers prevent the immigration of glass eels ( Anguilla anguilla ) arriving on the European coast every spring. This leads to an unnatural accumulation of migrating glass eels below the barriers, and this may lead to additional losses in glass eels by piscivorous fish. The proportion of predation losses can be estimated using mark‐recapture techniques and abundance estimates in combination with...
Migration of silver eel, Anguilla anguilla , through three water pumping stations in The NetherlandsNARA Subscribed
European eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.), migrating to sea encounter many man‐made structures that can hamper and delay migration or induce mortality. Three pumping stations in Friesland, the Netherlands, were covered with acoustic receivers. Ninety‐three silver eels tagged with acoustic transmitters were released in the polders upstream of the stations and 89% were detected passing a pumping station. The majority of silver eels p...
European eel, Anguilla anguilla L., migrating to the sea encounter many man‐made structures that can hamper and delay migration or induce mortality. Studying small‐scale behavioural movements in front of these man‐made structures could provide insight in further mitigating adverse effects. The behaviour of eel approaching a trash rack in front of a large pumping station was investigated using a dual‐frequency identification so...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Nutrient acquisition strategies augment growth in tropical N 2 ‐fixing trees in nutrient‐poor soil and under elevated CO 2NARA Subscribed
Tropical forests play a dominant role in the global carbon (C) cycle, and models predict increases in tropical net primary productivity ( NPP ) and C storage in response to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) concentrations. The extent to which increasing CO 2 will enhance NPP depends in part on the availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to support growth. Some tropical trees can potentially overcome nutrient l...
