Somero, in Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011 Abstract The Mediterranean blue mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, is an invasive species that has displaced a congener, Mytilus trossulus, from its native range in central and southern California, USA. The dynamic relationship ...

There are many practical applications of ecology in conservation biology, wetland management, natural resource management (agriculture, forestry, fisheries), city planning (urban ecology), community health, economics, basic & applied science and it provides a conceptual framework for understanding and rese...
If our results are proved more general it would imply that propagule size alone cannot be used as a surrogate of establishment success. This, in turn, complicates the quantification of the importance of vegetative propagation for evolutionary biology and applied ecology applications. Furthermore, we...
Briefly describe one aspect of ecology that is relevant for all humans. Conservation vs Restoration Conservation and restoration are two facets of ecology that focus to protect natural resources that benefit humans and biodiversity. There is a distinction between the two concepts, however. C...
Services provided by soils are vital for the well being of humans. The biodiversity-ecosystem services relationship is a hot topic in science but to what extent is it evident in soils? AaAaAa Humans depend to a large degree on goods provided by natural and managed ecosystems. These g...
(Banack and Murch2018; Bishop and Murch2020). Ecologically speaking, variation in temporal and spatial scales is a very common and pervasive phenomenon and should not be used as a disqualifier. The study of ecology aims to understand the scales under which ecological phenomena and patterns occur...
rhizosheath and rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities of three endemic-perennial Namib Desert speargrass species (Stipagrostis sabulicola, Stipagrostis seelyae and Cladoraphis spinosa) with a combination of scanning electron microscopy and molecular microbial ecology tools (qPCR and meta-barcoding)....
Thus, we have planned to restart these works using a large-scale experiment, the procedure of which was characterized by a small number of controlled parameters with a high degree of representativeness of reality. During experimental nursing of young oysters, we have assessed the influence of ...
This genomic information provides important insights into the physiology, ecology, reproduction and evolution of red algae. In 1997 the first EST from Gracilaria gracilis was generated, which corresponded to a carbohydrate metabolism-related gene [30]. The construction of cDNA libraries from various ...
