"In places where we've lost amphibians, we immediately notice the ecosystem-level effects: other animals starving to death and water courses clogging up etc. Nothing really steps up to fill the role of frogs." Dr. Rowley says that frogs are also an indicator species which means they are a...
This paper argues that improving the communication between landholders and ecologists will result in better conservation outcomes for ecosystem management on private land. It examines a case study of ecological research on frogs undertaken on private, agricultural land in south-eastern Australia. The ...

Compared to the oceans, spatially finite ecosystems such as ponds or lakes can offer replication and allow whole-ecosystem type experiments to be conducted with appropriate replicates (either in space or time) and with controls (e.g. manipulated vs. unmanipulated; Fig.1). Before-after-control-im...

The Amazon rainforest plays a significant role in keeping the fine balance of the Earth's ecosystem. With an area of around 6 million square kilometres, the Amazon rainforest is more than half size of China. The Amazon River, from the rainforest gets its name, is close to 6, 400 kilome...
Sexual selection has been studied as a major evolutionary driver of animal diversity for roughly 50 years. Much evidence indicates that competition for mates favors elaborate signaling traits. However, this evidence comes primarily from a few taxa, leavi
(Operational Taxonomic Units, OTUs) produced by FROGS use a similar view as the amplicon sequence variant (ASV) delineation (Callahan et al.2017) but with the advantage of limiting the risk of overestimating diversity if copies of the SSU rRNA gene differ within a given individual. Following ...
The Amazon rainforest,as the largest rainforest in the world,plays a significant role in maintaining the fine balance of the Earth's ecosystem. The Amazon rainforest crosses into eight countries,including Brazil,Peru and one overseas region of France.(1)___ an area of around 6 million square...
many factors that allow us to test whether or not these predators have the right amount of influence, whether they can eat fast enough, and if there are enough of these predators within the ecosystem to exert strong influences on sea urchins," says Hovel, a professor of biology at the Coas...
