Stock Rebuilding in a Mixed‐Population Fishery Context: The Case of North Sea and Western Baltic HerringNARA Subscribed
Managing and giving advice for mixed‐population fisheries of the same species can be challenging due to difficulties in predicting stock mixing, technical interactions, and in ensuring precautionary stock dynamics. Most fish species consist of several populations all of which need to be sustainably managed to preserve biodiversity and resilience to environmental changes, and to sustain productive fisheries. Mixing of populatio...
The production of medium‐chain carboxylates (MCC) by mixed culture fermentation of complex organic feedstocks is often constrained by the availability of reducing equivalents. Therefore, mixotrophic fermentation processes, which integrate diverse carbon and reducing equivalents sources, are gaining more attention. However, the microbial communities evolving in such complex environments, where organic and inorganic substrates i...
Interactive effects of soil phosphorus and nitrogen availability on mycorrhiza-mediated nutrition in wheatNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an essential role in plant nutrition in both natural and agro-ecosystems. However, how soil nutrient availability simultaneously regulates AMF diversity and contribution to plant nutrition, requires more attention. We hypothesised that the interaction between the availability of key soil macronutrients phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) regulates AMF contribution to whea...
Muigaia, a new Paleotropical genus of ConvolvulaceaeNARA Subscribed
Summary A new genus of Convolvulaceae, Muigaia , is here proposed and fully revised, including molecular phylogenetic analyses, comprehensive morphological and palynological descriptions, identification keys, distribution maps and conservation assessments. It is a strictly paleotropical genus, occurring in Tropical Africa, Madagascar, India and Australia, and remarkably absent from the Malesian region. It is distinctive for th...
Geochemical characterisation of shallow pre-eruptive magma degassing at Marapi Volcano, Sumatra (Indonesia)NARA Subscribed
Marapi, Sumatra’s most persistently active volcano, exhibits frequent short-lived explosive activity and sporadic prolonged eruptions, often occurring with little to no detectable geophysical precursory signals. Despite advances in monitoring, our understanding of Marapi’s eruptive dynamics remains limited by a lack of information on its gas emissions. Here we present the first chemical dataset of Marapi’s volcanic gases measu...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Regional invasion history and land use shape the prevalence of non‐native species in local assemblagesNARA Subscribed
The ecological impact of non‐native species arises from their establishment in local assemblages. However, the rates of non‐native spread in new regions and their determinants have not been comprehensively studied. Here, we combined global databases documenting the occurrence of non‐native species and residence of non‐native birds, mammals, and vascular plants at regional and local scales to describe how the likelihood of non‐...
CamTrapAsia : A dataset of tropical forest vertebrate communities from 239 camera trapping studiesNARA Subscribed
Information on tropical Asian vertebrates has traditionally been sparse, particularly when it comes to cryptic species inhabiting the dense forests of the region. Vertebrate populations are declining globally due to land‐use change and hunting, the latter frequently referred as “defaunation.” This is especially true in tropical Asia where there is extensive land‐use change and high human densities. Robust monitoring requires t...
Introduction While crucial to ensuring the production of accurate and high-quality data—and to avoid erroneous conclusions—data quality control (QC) in environmental monitoring datasets is still poorly documented. Methods With a focus on annual inter-laboratory comparison (ILC) exercises performed in the context of the French coastal monitoring SOMLIT network, we share here a pragmatic approach to QC, which allows the calculat...
AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forestNARA Subscribed
The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from dif...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
The climatic debt is growing in the understorey of temperate forests: Stand characteristics matterNARA Subscribed
Aim Climate warming reshuffles biological assemblages towards less cold‐adapted but more warm‐adapted species, a process coined thermophilization. However, the velocity at which this process is happening generally lags behind the velocity of climate change, generating a climatic debt the temporal dynamics of which remain misunderstood. Relying on high‐resolution time series of vegetation data from a long‐term monitoring networ...
The aim of this study was to summarise the literature reporting the risk factors for mortality in the mussel species Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis in order to identify potential science‐based solutions to prevent or mitigate mussel mortality outbreaks. We followed the PRISMA methodology: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses. The studied corpus of 91 publications (114 studies) was hi...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
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...
