Principal results of the Portoviejo (Ecuador) seismic microzonation project and importance for seismic hazard mitigationNARA Subscribed
The 2016 Mw7.8 Pedernales earthquake caused extensive damage along the central Ecuadorian coastline, resulting in 661 casualties, 4859 injured and the collapse of numerous buildings. The city of Portoviejo (Ecuador), located 140 km from the epicenter, was one of the most severely impacted municipalities with approximately 10% of its buildings damaged and 40 reinforced concrete buildings in the city center collapsed. A seismic...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Parasitoid avoidance of intraguild predation drives enemy complementarity in a multi‐trophic ecological networkNARA Subscribed
How consumer diversity determines consumption efficiency is a central issue in ecology. In the context of predation and biological control, this relationship concerns predator diversity and predation efficiency. Reduced predation efficiency can result from different predator taxa eating each other in addition to their common prey (interference due to intraguild predation). By contrast, multiple predator taxa with overlapping b...
Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and...
