- Effects of species invasion on population dynamics, vital rates and life histories of the native speciesde Simone Vincenzi, Alain J. Crivelli, Dušan Jesenšek, Ellen Campbell, John C. Garza In Population Ecology, 61:1 (January, 2019), 25-34 En ligne : doi.wiley.com[...] Invasions occurring in natural environments provide the opportunity to study how vital rates change and life histories evolve in the presence of a competing species. In this work, we estimate differences in reproductive traits, individual growth trajectories, survival, life histories and population dynamics between ...
- The impact of conservation farming practices on Mediterranean agro-ecosystem services provisioning—a meta-analysisde Heera Lee, Sven Lautenbach, Ana Paula García Nieto, Alberte Bondeau, Wolfgang Cramer, Ilse R. Geijzendorffer In Regional Environmental Change (January, 2019) En ligne : doi.org[...] In the Mediterranean region, the long-term provision of agro-ecosystem services is threatened by accelerating climate change, unsustainable farming practices, and other pressures. Alternative management practices such as conservation agriculture could be expected to ensure sustainability of ecosystem services from Mediterranean agro-ecosystems. Conservation ...
- Cartographie des forêts humides dans la région d’El Kala (algérie) à l’aide des outils d’observation de la terrede Asma Kahli, Ghania Belhadj, Elie Gaget, Clément Merle, Anis Guelmami In Terre (La) et la vie. Revue d'écologie, 73:4 (2018), 431-445 En ligne : hdl.handle.net[...] Les forêts humides sont parmi les écosystèmes humides les plus dégradés et les plus menacés dans le monde. En Algérie, elles représentent un ensemble d’habitats forestiers singuliers, fragiles et rares. La région d’El Kala, à l’extrême nord-est du pays, abrite de nombreuses ...
- Monitoring amphibian species with complex chromatophore patterns: a non-invasive approach with an evaluation of software effectiveness and reliabilityde Julien Renet, Lisa Leprêtre, Jocelyn Champagnon, Philippe Lambret In The Herpetological Journal, 29:1 (January, 2019), 13-22 En ligne : www.thebhs.org[...] The estimation of demographic parameters in wild populations is strengthened by individual identification. For amphibians, various techniques are used to either temporarily or permanently mark individuals for identification. Photo-identification of body patterns offers a non-invasive technique. However, the reliability of photo-recognition software is key to the reliable ...
- Stronger effects of heterozygosity on survival in harsher environmentsde Simone Vincenzi, Dušan Jesenšek, John C. Garza, Alain J.

The hypotheses tested were: stronger effects of heterozygosity on survival in populations characterized by low average ...

- Priority effects: Emerging principles for invasive plant species managementde Manon C.M. Hess, François Mesléard, Elise Buisson In Ecological Engineering, 127 (2019), 48-57 En ligne : linkinghub.elsevier.com[...] Many anthropic activities generate soil disturbances, favoring competitive, fast growing invasive plant species at the expense of natives. Active restoration of invasion-resistant plant communities is increasingly recognized as a relevant strategy to combat invasive plant colonization in disturbed areas, but results are often unsatisfying. Historical effects, referred as “priority effects” ...
