We evaluate the impact of land cover changes in Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain), over ...
- Short-Term Effects on Diversity and Biomass on Grasslands from Artificial Dykes under Grazing and Mowing Treatmentsde Cannelle Moinardeau, François Mesléard, Hervé Ramone, Thierry Dutoit In Environmental Conservation, 10.1017/S0376892918000346 (October 2018), 1-8 En ligne : www.cambridge.org[...] Few studies document the impacts of conservation management practices such as extensive grazing or mowing on the new ecosystems created by industrial conversions. In southern France, the Rhône channelling led to the construction of dykes to protect the Tricastin industrialized area from floods. Aiming to control plant dynamics ...
- Mapping Mediterranean Wetlands With Remote Sensing: A Good-Looking Map Is Not Always a Good Mapde Christian Perennou, Anis Guelmami, Marc Paganini, Petra Philipson, Brigitte Poulin, Adrian Strauch, Christian Tottrup, John Truckenbrodt, Ilse R. Geijzendorffer, David A. Bohan, et al. In Advances in Ecological Research, 58:1 (2018), 243-277 En ligne : www.sciencedirect.com[...] Wetlands are a key habitat within the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot and provide important ecosystem services for human well-being. Remote sensing (RS) has significantly boosted our ability to monitor changes in Mediterranean ...
- Mediterranean Wetlands: a Gradient from Natural Resilience to a Fragile Social-Ecosystem (2018)de Ilse R. Geijzendorffer, Thomas Galewski, Anis Guelmami, Christian Perennou, Nadège Popoff, Patrick Grillas [S.l.] : Springer International Publishing, 2018 En ligne : This book aims to identify, present and discuss key driving forces and pressures on ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are the contributions that ecosystems provide to human well-being. The scope of this atlas is on identifying solutions and lessons to be applied across science, policy and practice. The atlas ...
- Context-dependent conservation of the cavity-nesting European Rollerde Tom Finch, Claire Branston, Harriet Clewlow, Jamie Dunning, Aldina M. A. Franco, Edmunds Račinskis, Timothée Schwartz, Simon J. Butler In Ibis, 10.1111/ibi.12650:0 (July 2018), 1-17 En ligne : onlinelibrary.wiley.com[...] To maximize the effectiveness of conservation interventions, it is crucial to have an understanding of how intraspecific variation determines the relative importance of potential limiting factors. For bird populations, limiting factors include nest-site availability and foraging resources, with ...
- A framework for estimating the determinants of spatial and temporal variation in vital rates and inferring the occurrence of unobserved extreme eventsde Simone Vincenzi, Dušan Jesenšek, Alain J. Crivelli In Royal Society Open Science, 5:3 (03/2018), 171087 En ligne : rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org[...] We develop a general framework that combines long-term tag–recapture data and powerful statistical and modelling techniques to investigate how population, environmental and climate factors determine variation in vital rates and population dynamics in an animal species, using as a case study the population of brown trout living in ...
- Impact of Human Activities on Fasciolosis Transmissionde Emeline Sabourin, Pilar Alda, Antonio Vázquez, Sylvie Hurtrez-Boussès, Marion Vittecoq In Trends in Parasitology, 34:10 (October 2018), 891-903 En ligne : linkinghub.elsevier.com[...] Fasciolosis is a neglected water- and food-borne disease. There are approximately 17 million human cases annually in the world. In some areas, these numbers may be underestimated.

- Flux closures and source term models for shallow water models with depth-dependent integral porosityde Guinot, Vincent, Carole Delenne, Marine Rousseau, Olivier Boutron In Advances in Water Resources, 122 (December, 2018), 390-400 En ligne : www.sciencedirect.com[...] We use a pore-scale dissolution model to simulate the dissolution of calcite by HCl in two different systems and compare with experiment. The model couples flow and transport with chemical reactions at the mineral surface and in the fluid bulk. Firstly, we inject HCl through a ...
- Late snowmelt can result in smaller eggs in Arctic shorebirdsde Jean-Louis Martin, Paul Allen Smith, Arnaud Béchet, Tanguy Daufresne In Polar Biology, 41:11 (2018-11-01), 2289-2295 En ligne : doi.org[...] Migratory birds often travel long distances between non-breeding and breeding areas. The suitability of weather and foraging conditions they experience upon arrival at their breeding grounds is an essential component explaining the timing and success of reproduction. Climate change has been identified as a major contributor to “mismatches” ...
