A keystone in an arch's crown secures the other stones in place. Keystone species play the same role in many ecological communities by maintaining the structure and integrity of the community. AaAaAa Paine's Milestones The term keystone species was first coined by Robert Paine (1966) after ext...

By virtue of being a culturally recognized tree species, as well as having a distinct ecological role within its natural distribution, we propose D. aromatica as a flagship species for conservation and restoration of the habitat it defines. Our review highlights the usability of historic accounts ...
information about pollen gene flow. Different markers can reveal the evolutionary history of species more objectively [36,37]. Finally, compared with the single model (MaxEnt) previously used to predict the species range ofQ. glauca[35], the ensemble species distribution model (eSDM) can integrat...
Fig. 1: Across the United States, distributions of Host Plant-Lepidoptera interactions are skewed such that few plant genera support the majority of Lepidoptera species. a White-blotched Heterocampa (Heterocampa umbrata) a Lepidopteran from the family Notodontidae. The majority of Lepidopteran cate...

The Fagaceae family comprises about 1,000 woody species worldwide. About half belong to the Quercus family. These oaks are often a source of raw material for biomass wood and fiber. Pedunculate and sessile oaks, are among the most important deciduous for
While some of this variation is likely attributable to the niche and host plant species studied, the wide range of findings is striking. Intriguingly, a global study of Earth’s topsoils found that while environmental variables were strongly correlated with bacterial populations, they were more ...
Aspen is a keystone species in boreal forests. The future of aspen in many conservation areas is threatened by ungulate browsing. Our aim was to study the effect of browsing on aspen regeneration and population structure in conservation areas in Central Finland, and the effect of surrounding ...
Based in part on Davic's [31] definition of keystone species, this paper submits that a social-ecological keystone is a strongly interacting biocultural element within its functional group, whose top-down effect on biocultural diversity is large relative to all elements within the system. ...
