"the researchers documented several nests and eggs not previously described by science, particularly from species inhabiting remote regions of the Amazon and the Andes. By examining egg physiology along elevational gradients, they found that high-elevation species lose water at slower rates than lowland species, likely as an adaptation to reduce the risk of desiccation. These findings support the idea that egg physiology may constrain species distributions."

Les #jardins privés, des refuges précieux pour la biodiversité : « Nous avons des orvets, des lézards et pas mal de papillons »
Représentant une large part des territoires urbanisés, ces espaces privés sont souvent considérés comme des parcelles artificialisées alors qu’ils peuvent héberger une certaine #biodiversité. Villes et scientifiques tentent de mieux évaluer celle-ci pour la favoriser.

Nunatak hypothesis (Phytogeography 🌱)

In biogeography, particularly phytogeography, the nunatak hypothesis about the origin of a biota in formerly glaciated areas is the idea that some or many species have survived the inhospitable period on icefree land such as nunataks. Its antithesis is the tabula rasa hypothesis, which posits that all s...

Antarctic realm (Biogeography 🌍)

The Antarctic realm is one of eight terrestrial biogeographic realms. The ecosystem includes Antarctica and several island groups in the southern Atlantic and Indian oceans. The continent of Antarctica is so cold that it has supported only 2 vascular plants for millions of years, and its flora presently consists of around 250 lichens, 100 mosses,...

Blakiston's Line (Biogeography 🌍)

The Blakiston Line or Blakiston's Line is a faunal boundary line drawn between two of the four largest islands of Japan: Hokkaidō in the north and Honshū, south of it. It can be compared with faunal boundary lines like the Wallace Line. Certain animal species can only be found north of Blakiston's Line, while certain other species can only be f...

Vegetation index (Remote sensing 🛰️)

A vegetation index is a spectral imaging transformation of two or more image bands designed to enhance the contribution of vegetation properties and allow reliable spatial and temporal inter-comparisons of terrestrial photosynthetic activity and canopy structural variations. There are many VIs, with many being functionally equivalent. Many of the indices make us...
