Ecological evolution of salmonids

For the first time, ecological evolution of salmonid fishes is analyzed using the method of historical biogeography, considering formation of ecology and reproductive biology for these species under planetary climatic and geological changes.Climate cooling in the Cenozoic and associated reconstruction of the food base for salmonids had a major impa

Seed rain and seed bank reveal that seed limitation strongly influences plant community assembly in grasslands.

Dispersal is an important factor in plant community assembly, but assembly studies seldom include information on actual dispersal into communities, i.e.the local propagule pool.The aim of this study was to determine which factors influence plant community assembly by focusing on two phases of the assembly process: the dispersal phase and the establ
