Do wind turbines impact plant community properties in mountain region?

Alexandre Buttler, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Ioana Stoicescu

The emergence of renewable energy infrastructures calls for a better understanding of their impact on biodiversity. The aim of the present study was to investigate in a mountain region the impact of a wind turbine on plant communities in their vicinity. A ...

Testing diﬀerent (e)DNA metabarcoding approaches to assess aquatic oligochaete diversity and the biological quality of sediments

Régis Lionel Vivien

Aquatic oligochaetes are important bioindicators of sediment quality in watercourses and lakes, but their morphological identiﬁcation to the species level is challenging and sometimes impossible. The use of DNA barcoding and metabarcoding could greatly fac ...

Catchment land cover influences macroinvertebrate food-web structure and energy flow pathways in mountain streams

Tom Ian Battin, Christopher Robinson

Understanding how different food resources sustain stream food webs is fundamental towards increasing our knowledge on trophic structure and energy flow pathways in fluvial ecosystems. 2. Food webs in small mountain streams are sustained by autochthonou ...

Evolving biodiversity patterns in changing river networks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

Biodiversity patterns are governed by landscape structure and dispersal strategies of residing organisms. Landscape, however, changes, and dispersal strategies evolve with it. It is unclear how these biological and geomorphological changes interplay to aff ...

Modeling metabolic networks of individual bacterial agents in heterogeneous and dynamic soil habitats (IndiMeSH)

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Dani Or

Natural soil is characterized as a complex habitat with patchy hydrated islands and spatially variable nutrients that is in a constant state of change due to wetting-drying dynamics. Soil microbial activity is often concentrated in sparsely distributed hot ...

Linking soil's volatilome to microbes and plant roots highlights the importance of microbes as emitters of belowground volatile signals

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Amarante Vitra, Richard Splivallo

Plants and microbes release a plethora of volatiles that act as signals in plant-microbe interactions. Characterizing soil's volatilome and microbiome might shed light on the nature of relevant volatile signals and on their emitters. This hypothesis was te ...

Strain-level diversity drives alternative community types in millimetre-scale granular biofilms

Christof Holliger

Microbial communities are often highly diverse in their composition, both at a coarse-grained taxonomic level, such as genus, and at a highly resolved level, such as strains, within species. This variability can be driven by either extrinsic factors such a ...

Scaling as a key conceptual tool for the interpretation of empirical and experimental patterns in ecology and biology

Silvia Zaoli

This thesis is concerned with regular patterns found in ecology and biology, their linkages and the statistical description of their fluctuations around average trends. Among such patterns, often conforming to power laws, well-known examples include the Sp ...

Sphagnum Species Modulate their Phenolic Profiles and Mycorrhizal Colonization of Surrounding Andromeda polifolia along Peatland Microhabitats

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Sphagnum mosses mediate long-term carbon accumulation in peatlands. Given their functional role as keystone species, it is important to consider their responses to ecological gradients and environmental changes through the production of phenolics. We compa ...
