migratory species,   etc   ; ecosystems; food webs; migratory behavior; phylogeny; steppes;     Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Evidence is mounting that the structures of trophic networks are governed by migratory movements of interacting species and also by their phylogenetic relationships. Using the largest available trophic network of a large steppe ecosystem, we tested that steppe trophic networks including migratory species are associated with (i) migratory strategy and (ii) phylogenetic relatedness of interacting sp ...

Abstract:
... To understand how migratory behavior evolved and to predict how migratory species will respond to global environmental change it is important to quantify the fitness consequences of intra‐ and inter‐individual variation in migratory behavior. Intra‐individual variation includes behavioral responses to changing environmental conditions and hence behavioral plasticity in the context of novel or vari ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the sets of co-existing institutional arrangements and the role of different actors for transboundary conservation is not only paramount for migratory species survival but also for studying the transformation of international politics. We analyze the global environmental governance architecture for conserving migratory shorebirds in the Asia-Pacific. We ask, (i) how has the architect ...

Abstract:
... International efforts to protect biodiversity depend on transnational collaboration and on public support for transnational policies to be implemented. Yet, we know little about what may compel citizens to support such transnational conservation efforts. In this paper, we design a lab-in-the-field experiment to explore how different framings and information about support shared across borders affe ...

Abstract:
... Understanding why species range sizes vary is important for predicting the impact of environmental change on biodiversity. Here we use a multi‐variable approach in a phylogenetic comparative context to understand how four morphological, two ecological, and two eco‐geographical variables are associated with range size, latitudinal range and longitudinal range in 81 species of North‐American libellu ...

Abstract:
... For conservation reserves to protect habitat to support viable populations, they must be effective in protecting all vital requirements; yet, it is unclear the extent that conservationists need to prioritize seasonal habitats when delineating reserves for partially migratory species. Identifying the similarity among seasonal habitats will assist conservationists in prioritizing specific requiremen ...

Abstract:
... We introduce a Lagrangian movement model that can be used to characterize cyclic migrations of iteroparous fish populations. We demonstrate how movement parameters can be estimated using conventionally available catch-at-age data and provide a description of the potential bias that may arise from model misspecification, data aggregation, and nonstandardized sampling effort. The model can be extend ...

Abstract:
... AIM: Migratory species depend on various habitats and resources along their migration routes. Characteristics such as dependence on distinct habitats and the presence of multiple threats along their migratory routes make these species vulnerable, and gaps in knowledge about their ecology and migration processes make them difficult to conserve. Urania boisduvalii is a diurnal moth endemic to Cuba t ...

Abstract:
... River damming alters the physical–chemical variables of water and often causes compartmentalisation of aquatic habitats. Seasonality can add complexity to the longitudinal compartmentalisation. The spatial and temporal effects of these two phenomena on the structure of ichthyofauna from a tributary under the influence of damming were evaluated, based on the following hypotheses: (1) transition hab ...

New World thrushes in the genus Catharus are small, insectivorous or omnivorous birds that have been used to explore several important questions in avian evolution, including the evolution of seasonal migration and plumage variation. Within Catharus, members of a clade of obligate long-distance migrants (C. fuscescens, C. minimus, and C. bicknelli) have also been used in the development of heterop ...

Abstract:
... The inverse relationship between body size and environmental temperature is a widespread ecogeographic pattern. However, the underlying forces that produce this pattern are unclear in many taxa. Expectations are particularly unclear for migratory species, as individuals may escape environmental extremes and reorient themselves along the environmental gradient. In addition, some aspects of body siz ...
