Due to its impact on local adaptation, population functioning or range shifts, dispersal is considered a central process for persistence and species evolution. However, measuring complicated, which justifies the use of proxies. Although appealing, despite general relationship with dispersal, body size has however proven unsatisfactory as proxy. Our hypothesis here that, given existence syndromes, suites life-history traits may be alternative, more appropriate proxies dispersal. We tested...
In the current context of climate change and landscape fragmentation, efficient conservation strategies require explicit consideration life history traits. This is particularly true for amphibians, which are highly threatened worldwide, composed by more than 7400 species, constitute one most species-rich vertebrate groups. The collection information on traits difficult due to ecology species remoteness their habitats. It therefore not surprising that our knowledge limited, missing certain...
Dispersal, i.e. movements potentially leading to gene flow, is central in evolutionary ecology. Many factors can trigger dispersal, all linked the social and/or environmental context. Moreover, it now widely demonstrated that phenotypes with contrasted dispersal abilities coexist within populations of a same species. The current challenge elucidate how and will influence decision individuals distinct phenotypes. We have used Metatron, unique experimental mesocosm dedicated study fragmented...
SUMMARY Arid Mediterranean regions that shelter unique biodiversity are threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures, such as urbanization, overgrazing and climate change. In Morocco, one of the main bush species in arid areas, jujube ( Ziziphus lotus ), suffers from officially promoted programmes removal. The Moorish tortoise Testudo graeca soussensis ) is habitat loss. Like most animals, must navigate between microhabitats to find essential feeding resources thermal refuges. This study...
Summary Nature conservation policies need to deliver on multiple criteria, including genetic diversity, population viability and species richness as well ecosystem services. The challenge of integrating these may be addressed by simulation modelling. We used four models (MetaConnect, SPOMSIM , a community model In VEST ) assess variety spatial habitat patterns with two levels total cover realised at scales, exploring which landscape structures performed best according five different criteria...
Substantial plastic variation in phenology response to environmental heterogeneity through time the same population has been uncovered many species. However, our understanding of differences reaction norms among populations from a given species remains limited. As plasticity phenological traits is often influenced by local thermal conditions, we expect temperature generate between populations. Here, explored temporal parturition date across 11 common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) four mountain...
Abstract Urban environments consist of a mosaic natural fragments, planned and unintentional habitats hosting both introduced spontaneous species. The latter group exploits abandoned degraded urban niches which, in the case plants, form what is called third landscape . In Anthropocene, cities, open spaces buildings must be designed considering not only human needs but also those other living organisms. scientific approach habitat sharing defined as reconciliation ecology , whilst action...
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring is undergoing a revolution, with fauna observation data being increasingly gathered continuously over extended periods, through sensors like camera traps and acoustic recorders, or via opportunistic observations. These are often analysed discrete‐time ecological models, requiring the transformation of collected into arbitrarily chosen, non‐independent intervals. To overcome this issue, ecologists turning to existing continuous‐time models in literature....
Life-history data are essential for providing answers to a wide range of questions in evolution, ecology, and conservation biology. While life history many species, especially plants, available online, traits European reptiles only widely scattered different languages primarily printed media. For this reason, we generated comprehensive trait database covering all reptile species. Data were compiled by searching the peer-reviewed non-peer-reviewed literature. The covers whole Europe...
Transports of people and goods contribute to the ongoing 6 th mass extinction species. They impact species viability by reducing availability suitable habitat, limiting connectivity between patches, increasing direct mortality due collisions with vehicles. Not only does it represent a threat for some conservation capabilities, but animal vehicle (AVC) is also human safety security in transport has massive cost infrastructure (TI) managers users. Using opportunities offered number sensors...
Abstract The growing concern about the negative impact of artificial light at night on biodiversity and human health increases need defining a general indicator that could be used for characterizing pollution as well performing both spatial temporal comparisons. In this paper, we show traditional indicators based direct numerical measurements sky brightness suffer from significant limitation due to calibration bias lack reproducibility. Furthermore, these measures are most often performed in...
Abstract Although natural selection is expected to reduce variability, polymorphism common in nature even under strong selective regimes. Discrete polymorphisms mating strategies are widespread and offer a good opportunity understand the genetic processes that allow maintenance of relatively simple systems. Here we explored mechanism underlying expression discrete rock-paper-scissors (RPS) game. Heterozygotes carry information for two different strategies, yet little attention has been...
We focus on connectivity methods used to understand and predict how landscapes habitats facilitate or impede the movement dispersal of species. Our objective is compare implication methodological choices at three stages modelling framework: landscape characterisation, estimation, assessment. What are convergences divergences different approaches? implications their combined results for planning? implemented two characterisation approaches: expert opinion species distribution model (SDM);...
