Local Adaptation and Gene-For-Gene Coevolution in a Metapopulation Model

TL;DR: A metapopulation model is developed, taking explicit account of both population densities and gene frequencies, to determine the influence of ecological and genetical parameters on the local adaptation of the parasites and on the spatial distribution of resistance and virulence genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D reconstruction and quantification of macropores using X-ray computed tomography and image analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a novel technique for tracing connected macropores in the CT scans, which consists of sequences of so-called erosions and/or dilations of a 32-face structuring element to describe object distances and volumes of influence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pesticides and earthworms. A review

TL;DR: This analysis shows that earthworms are impacted by pesticides at all organisation levels, and insecticides and fungicides are the most toxic pesticides impacting survival and reproduction, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global distribution of earthworm diversity

Helen Phillips, +145 more
- 25 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: It was found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms, which suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Root Functional Architecture: A Framework for Modeling the Interplay between Roots and Soil

TL;DR: In this article, the root-soil interactions and associated processes are examined and the root response to their environment affects resource acquisition by plants, and how the root functional architecture can improve the integration of research advances from fields operating as independent disciplines.
