Abundance and Variety
Seventeenth-century “mechanical philosophy”, particularly its Cartesian form, challenged the long-standing belief in final causes as explanatory...
-
Unveiling global species abundance distributions
Whether most species are rare or have some intermediate abundance is a long-standing question in ecology. Here, we use more than one billion...
-
Efficiency of spatial sampling designs in estimating abundance and species richness of carabids at the landscape level
ContextDeclining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has increased the need for research and monitoring of insect abundance and diversity at...
-
Disentangling the relationships among abundance, invasiveness and invasibility in trait space
Identifying conditions and traits that allow an introduced species to grow and spread, from being initially rare to becoming abundant (defined as...
-
Bayesian N-Mixture Models Applied to Estimating Insect Abundance
Estimating animal abundance is an area of interest for many conservationists and population ecologists. When using count data to obtain abundance...
-
Oral bacteria relative abundance in faeces increases due to gut microbiota depletion and is linked with patient outcomes
The detection of oral bacteria in faecal samples has been associated with inflammation and intestinal diseases. The increased relative abundance of...
-
Occupancy, Abundance, and Related Topics
Models for occupancy, where it is important to determine whether a particular species is present or not, have a long history. The literature is very...

Evolution of Transcript Abundance is Influenced by Indels in Protein Low Complexity Regions
Protein Protein low complexity regions (LCRs) are compositionally biased amino acid sequences, many of which have significant evolutionary impacts on...
-
Bumble bee diet breadth increases with local abundance and phenophase duration, not intraspecific variation in body size
Patterns of abundance across space and time, and intraspecific variation in body size, are two species attributes known to influence diet breadth and...

The distribution and abundance of woody invasive alien plants in small towns in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Invasive alien plants (IAPs) are rapidly increasing around the world, mainly due to land transformation, climate change, and urbanisation. Whilst...

Mora: abundance aware metagenomic read re-assignment for disentangling similar strains
BackgroundTaxonomic classification of reads obtained by metagenomic sequencing is often a first step for understanding a microbial community, but...
-
Carbohydrates and carbohydrate degradation gene abundance and transcription in Atlantic waters of the Arctic
Carbohydrates are chemically and structurally diverse, represent a substantial fraction of marine organic matter and are key substrates for...
-
Synthesizing the relationships between environmental DNA concentration and freshwater macrophyte abundance: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis can facilitate surveillance of invasive aquatic plant’s distribution. However, it is still questionable how...
-
A guide to precise measurements of isotope abundance by ESI-Orbitrap MS
Stable isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur are widespread in nature. Nevertheless, their relative abundance is not the same...
-
BugSigDB captures patterns of differential abundance across a broad range of host-associated microbial signatures
The literature of human and other host-associated microbiome studies is expanding rapidly, but systematic comparisons among published results of...

Unraveling a paradox of habitat relationships: scale-dependent drivers of temporal occupancy-abundance relationships in a cooperatively breeding bird
ContextSpatial occupancy and local abundance of species often positively covary, but the mechanisms driving this widespread relationship are poorly...
-
Soil radiocarbon abundance in global forest ecosystems controlled by climate and soil properties
BackgroundSoil is the largest carbon pool on land. A small proportional change of soil carbon may lead to strong feedback to the climate system....

Modeling the effects of species associations and abiotic parameters on the abundance of mosquito species in a Mediterranean wetland
Recent outbreaks of the West Nile virus have been reported in southern Spain, a region with important wetland habitats for migratory birds. Here, we...

Fungal Spore Richness and Abundance of Allergenic Taxa: Comparing a Portable Impactor and Passive Trap Indoors and Outdoors in an Urban Setting
Fungal spores are common airborne allergens, and fungal richness has been implicated in allergic disease. Amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA...

Potential cheatgrass abundance within lightly invaded areas of the Great Basin
ContextAnticipating where an invasive species could become abundant can help guide prevention and control efforts aimed at reducing invasion impacts....
