This work introduces a sequence-based approach (“ecotype simulation”) to model the evolutionary dynamics of bacterial populations and to identify ecotypes within a natural community, focusing here on two Bacillus clades surveyed from the “Evolution Canyons” of Israel.
Ecosystem effects of environmental flows: modelling and experimental floods in a dryland river
- P. Shafroth, A. Wilcox, A. Warner

- 8 August 2018
A three-level framework intended to help overcome barriers by intertwining holistic environmental flow assessment with implementation is introduced, with the framework designed to guide the user towards implementation at any level as soon as possible, based on at least some of the recommendations.
Restoring environmental flows through adaptive reservoir management: planning, science, and implementation through the Sustainable Rivers Project
Abstract River managers worldwide are increasingly addressing flow needs for ecosystem processes and services in their management plans for dams and reservoirs. However, while planning and scientific…
