Modelling Palaeoecological Time Series Using Generalised Additive Models

Gavin L. Simpson · 26 Oct 2018

In the absence of annual laminations, time series generated from lake sediments or other similar stratigraphic sequences are irregularly spaced in time, which complicates formal analysis using classical statistical time series models. In lieu, statistical analyses of trends in palaeoenvironmental time series, if done at all, have typically used simpler linear regressions or (non-) parametric…

Factors Influencing Leaf Chlorophyll Content in Natural Forests at the Biome Scale

Ying Li, Nianpeng He, Jihua Hou et al. · 4 Jun 2018

Chlorophyll (Chl) is an important photosynthetic pigment to the plant, largely determining photosynthetic capacity and hence plant growth. However, this concept has not been verified in natural forests, especially at a large scale. Furthermore, how Chl varies in natural forests remains unclear. In this study, the leaves of 823 plant species were collected from nine…

Genetic Diversity and Conservation Units: Dealing With the Species-Population Continuum in the Age of Genomics

David Coates, Margaret Byrne, Craig Moritz · 23 Oct 2018

Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas, ecosystems, ecological communities and species, with less attention ongenetic diversity and the evolutionary continuum from populations to species. Conservation management generally rests on discrete categories, such as identified species, and, for threated taxa, intraspecific units. Species, in particular, provide a common measure of biodiversity…

Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation

Andrew M. Allen, Navinder J. Singh · 12 Jan 2016

A common challenge in species conservation and management is how to incorporate species movements into management objectives. There often is a lack of knowledge of where, when and why species move. The field of movement ecology has grown rapidly in the last decade and is now providing the knowledge needed to incorporate movements of species…

Climate-adjusted provenancing: a strategy for climate-resilient ecological restoration

Suzanne M. Prober, Margaret Byrne, Elizabeth H. McLean et al. · 23 Jun 2015

<p class="mb15">Investments in ecological restoration are estimated at $US 2 trillion per annum worldwide and are increasing rapidly (<a href="#B9">Cunningham, 2008</a>; <a href="#B29">Williams et al., 2014</a>). These investments are occurring in an environment of accelerated climate change that is projected to continue into the next century, yet they currently take little account of such change.…

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution use?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C.
