Absence of species replacements between permanent and temporary lentic communities in New Zealand
(North American Benthological Society (Society for Fresh Water Science), 2009)The species composition of lentic communities often shifts along hydroperiod gradients, in part because temporary-habitat specialists replace closely related permanent-habitat specialists. These replacements reflect tradeoffs ... -
The Absurd and the Comical in The Piano in a Factory
(Brill Online, 2017)Whereas scholarship on Zhang Meng's acclaimed film The Piano in a Factory is scarce and mainly focuses on working-class identities, the present article contributes to the discussion by investigating the film's tragicomic ... -
Accounting for non-native Brown Trout in biological assessments: Implications for selecting reference conditions
(University of Chicago Press, 2019-09-18)The efficacy of assessments that evaluate biological integrity can be improved by accounting for the ecological processes that influence assemblage composition. Many studies have emphasized that bioassessments need to ... -
Accretion disks around kicked black holes: post-kick dynamics
(Institute of Physics, 2012-12-29)Numerical calculations of merging black hole binaries indicate that asymmetric emission of gravitational radiation can kick the merged black hole at up to thousands of km s–1, and a number of systems have been observed ... -
Accuracy Assessment of Skeletochronology in the Arizona Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum)
(American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH), 2007-05-16)Skeletochronology is the most commonly used tool for evaluating the age of amphibians and reptiles. However, the accuracy of skeletochronology is questionable because few studies have utilized individuals of known age to ... -

Alterations in forest detritus inputs influence soil carbon concentration and soil respiration in a Central-European deciduous forest
(Elsevier, 2014)In a Quercetum petraeaeecerris forest in northeastern Hungary, we examined effects of litter input alterations on the quantity and quality soil carbon stocks and soil CO2 emissions. Treatments at the Síkf}okút DIRT (Detritus ... -
Amphibian Populations Cycles and Long-Term Data Sets
(University Of California Press, 2005-01-01)Although most researchers agree that many amphibian populations are declining, there is debate about how to distinguish human-induced declines from natural population fluctuations. As with many species, amphibian populations ... -
Amphibians acquire resistance to live and dead fungus overcoming fungal immunosuppression
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-07-09)Emerging fungal pathogens pose a greater threat to biodiversity than any other parasitic group, causing declines of many taxa, including bats, corals, bees, snakes and amphibians. Currently, there is little evidence that ... -
Ancient and methane-derived carbon subsidizes contemporary food webs
(Nature Communications, 2016-11-08)While most global productivity is driven by modern photosynthesis, river ecosystems are supplied by locally fixed and imported carbon that spans a range of ages. Alluvial aquifers of gravel-bedded river floodplains present ... -
