Peer Community in Ecology (PCI Ecology)
Peer Community in Ecology (PCI Ecology) has been launched in december 2017. It is a community of recommenders playing the role of editors who recommend unpublished articles based on peer-reviews to make them complete, reliable and citable articles, without...
Les poissons d’eaux profondes : à pêcher avec grande modération
L’exploitation non-durable des espèces est la deuxième cause du déclin global de la biodiversité, après le changement d’utilisation des terres. Elle est aussi probablement une des plus évidentes à résoudre, via des réglementations pertinentes. En se fondant...
Louis Renard : Images from the First Colour Publication on Fish (1754)
Originally published in 1719, with a second edition in 1754, Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes can lay claim to being the earliest known publication in colour on fish — in this case, celebrating those hailing from the waters of the East Indies. This wonderful...
Increasing impacts of land use on biodiversity and carbon sequestration driven by population and economic growth
Biodiversity and ecosystem service losses driven by land-use change are expected to intensify as a growing and more affluent global population requires more agricultural and forestry products, and teleconnections in the global economy lead to increasing...
Caste‐ and pesticide‐specific effects of neonicotinoid pesticide exposure on gene expression in bumblebees
Social bees are important insect pollinators of wildflowers and agricultural crops, making their reported declines a global concern. A major factor implicated in these declines is the widespread use of neonicotinoid pesticides. Indeed, recent research...
Changes in adult sex ratio in wild bee communities are linked to urbanization
Wild bees are indispensable pollinators, supporting global agricultural yield and angiosperm biodiversity. They are experiencing widespread declines, resulting from multiple interacting factors. The effects of urbanization, a major driver of ecological...
Seasonal variation in genome-wide DNA methylation patterns and the onset of seasonal timing of reproduction in great tits
In seasonal environments, timing of reproduction is a trait with important fitness consequences, but we know little about the molecular mechanisms that underlie the variation in this trait. Recently, several studies put forward DNA methylation as a mechanism...
Divergent national-scale trends of microbial and animal biodiversity revealed across diverse temperate soil ecosystems
Soil biota accounts for ~25% of global biodiversity and is vital to nutrient cycling and primary production. There is growing momentum to study total belowground biodiversity across large ecological scales to understand how habitat and soil properties...
