Large Spatial Scale Variability in Bathyal Macrobenthos Abundance, Biomass, α- and β-Diversity along the Mediterranean Continental Margin
The large-scale deep-sea biodiversity distribution of the benthic fauna was explored in the Mediterranean Sea, which can be seen as a miniature model of the oceans of the world. Within the framework of the BIOFUN project ("Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Contrasting Southern European Deep-sea Environments: from viruses to megafauna"), we investigated the large spatial scale variabilit...
متن کاملStratospheric Processes and Their Role in Climate
The 17th Session of the SPARC Scientific Steering Group (SSG) was held at the University of Kyoto, hosted by SSG member Professor Masato Shiotani. This year the SPARC SSG meeting was held concurrently with the IGAC SSC meeting in the same location. These meetings were immediately preceded by a local workshop, jointly sponsored by the Japanese SPARC and IGAC communities. This workshop was well a...
متن کاملAmazonian ecology: tributaries enhance the diversity of electric fishes.
Neotropical rivers support a diverse array of endemic taxa, including electric fishes of the order Gymnotiformes. A comprehensive survey of the main channels of the Amazon River and its major tributaries (>2000-kilometer transect) yielded 43 electric fish species. Biogeographical analyses suggest that local mainstem electric fish diversity is enhanced by tributaries. Mainstem species richness t...
متن کاملPeripheral Isolates as Sources of Adaptive Diversity under Climate Change
As climate change progresses, there is increasing focus on the possibility of using targeted gene flow (TGF, the movement of pre-adapted individuals into declining populations) as a management tool. Targeted gene flow is a relatively cheap, low-risk management option, and will almost certainly come into increased use over the coming decades. Before such action can be taken, however, we need to ...
متن کاملForest diversity, climate change and forest fires in the Mediterranean region of Turkey.
This paper reviews the forest resources in Turkey in the light of published literature and summarises extensive fieldwork undertaken in the Mediterranean phytogeograhical region of Turkey. The issues of landscape change and the associated drivers are addressed and the threats to the forest diversity are considered. It notes the impacts of climate change and forest fires and attemepts have been ...
