Aim Forest height, an important biophysical property, underlies the distribution of carbon stocks across scales. Because in situ observations are labour intensive and thus impractical for large‐scale mapping and monitoring of forest heights, most previous studies adopted statistical approaches to help alleviate measured data discontinuity in space and time. Here, we document an improved modelling approach which links metabolic...
Aim We developed a set of statistical models to improve spatial estimates of mangrove aboveground biomass ( AGB ) based on the environmental signature hypothesis ( ESH ). We hypothesized that higher tidal amplitudes, river discharge, temperature, direct rainfall and decreased potential evapotranspiration explain observed high mangrove AGB . Location Neotropics and a small portion of the N earctic region. Methods A universal fo...
The goals of this project were to determine the daily, seasonal and spatial patterns of red grouper Epinephelus morio sound production on the West Florida Shelf ( WFS ) using passive acoustics. An 11 month time series of acoustic data from fixed recorders deployed at a known E. morio aggregation site showed that E. morio produce sounds throughout the day and during all months of the year. Increased calling (number of files con...
Access to mycorrhizal networks and roots of trees: importance for seedling survival and resource transferNARA Subscribed
Mycorrhizal networks (MNs) are fungal hyphae that connect roots of at least two plants. It has been suggested that these networks are ecologically relevant because they may facilitate interplant resource transfer and improve regeneration dynamics. This study investigated the effects of MNs on seedling survival, growth and physiological responses, interplant resource (carbon and nitrogen) transfer, and ectomycorrhizal (EM) fung...
Insertion polymorphism of transposable elements and population structure of Anopheles gambiae M and S molecular forms in CameroonNARA Subscribed
The insertion polymorphism of five transposable element (TE) families was studied by Southern blots in several populations of the M and S molecular forms of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto from southern Cameroon. We showed that the mean TE insertion site number and the within‐population insertion site polymorphism globally differed between the M and S molecular forms. The comparison of the TE insertion profiles of...
