Predicted decline in common bird and butterfly species despite conservation policy scenarios in Europe

Stanislas Rigal, Maxime Lenormand, Léa Tardieu +33

In response to increasing threats to biodiversity, conservation objectives have been set to halt biodiversity decline by reducing direct anthropogenic drivers. However, the potenti…

Unlocking tropical forest complexity: How tree assemblages in secondary forests boost biodiversity conservation

Maïri Souza Oliveira, Maxime Lenormand, Sandra Luque +11

Secondary forests now dominate tropical landscapes and play a crucial role in achieving COP15 conservation objectives. This study develops a replicable national approach to identif…

Stabilization of macroscopic dynamics by fine-grained disorder in many-species ecosystems

Juan Giral Martínez, Silvia de Monte, Matthieu Barbier

A central feature of complex systems is the relevance and entanglement of different levels of description. For instance, the dynamics of ecosystems can be alternatively described i…

Inner ear morphology in wild versus laboratory house mice

Sabrina Renaud, Léa Amar, Pascale Chevret +4

The semicircular canals of the inner ear are involved in balance and velocity control. Being crucial to ensure efficient mobility, their morphology exhibits an evolutionary conserv…

Protection gaps in Amazon floodplains will increase with climate change: Insight from the world's largest scaled freshwater fish

Nicolas Dubos, Maxime Lenormand, Leandro Castello +3

The Amazon floodplains represent important surfaces of highly valuable ecosystems, yet they remain neglected from protected areas. While the efficiency of the protected area networ…

Mapping of Ebola virus spillover: Suitability and seasonal variability at the landscape scale

Larisa Lee-Cruz, Maxime Lenormand, Julien Cappelle +6

The unexpected Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa in 2014 involving the Zaire ebolavirus made clear that other regions outside Central Africa, its previously documented niche, wer…

Assessing the effect of sample bias correction in species distribution models

Nicolas Dubos, Clémentine Préau, Maxime Lenormand +8

Open-source biodiversity databases contain a large amount of species occurrence records, but these are often spatially biased, which affects the reliability of species distribution…

Revisiting Shao and Sokal's index of phylogenetic balance

François Bienvenu, Gabriel Cardona, Celine Scornavacca

Measures of phylogenetic balance, such as the Colless and Sackin indices, play an important role in phylogenetics. Unfortunately, these indices are specifically designed for phylog…

On the usefulness of a minimalistic model to study tree-grass biomass distributions along biogeographic gradients in the savanna biome

Ivric Valaire Yatat Djeumen, Yves Dumont, Anna Doizy +1

We present and analyze a model aiming at recovering as dynamical outcomes of tree-grass interactions the wide range of vegetation physiognomies observable in the savanna biome alon…

Optimal Control Approach for Implementation of Sterile Insect Techniques

Pierre-Alexandre Bliman, Daiver Cardona-Salgado, Yves Dumont +1

Vector or pest control is essential to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases or crop losses. Among the available biological control tools, the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is…

Mapping livestock movements in Sahelian Africa

Camille Jahel, Maxime Lenormand, Ismaila Seck +8

In the dominant livestock systems of Sahelian countries herds have to move across territories. Their mobility is often a source of conflict with farmers in the areas crossed, and h…

Current knowledge and future research opportunities for modeling annual crop mixtures. A review

Noémie Gaudio, Abraham J. Escobar-Gutiérrez, Pierre Casadebaig +18

Growing mixtures of annual arable crop species or genotypes is a promising way to improve crop production without increasing agricultural inputs. To design optimal crop mixtures, c…

Two-phase Age-Structured Model of Solitarious and Gregarious Locust Population Dynamics

Vitalii Akimenko, Cyril Piou

In this paper we study a nonlinear age structured model of locust population dynamics with variable time of egg incubation that describes the phase polyphenism and behaviour of des…

A tree without leaves

Brigitte Meyer-Berthaud, Anne-Laure Decombeix

The puzzle presented by the famous stumps of Gilboa, New York, finds a solution in the discovery of two fossil specimens that allow the entire structure of these early trees to be…
