Parapatric subspecies of Macaca assamensis show a marginal overlap in their predicted potential distribution: Some elaborations for modern conservation management
Suwal, Madan Krishna; Huettmann, Falk; Regmi, Ganga Ram; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-04)Phylogenetic niche conservatism implies that sister taxa will have similar niches, although the niches of disjunct subspecies may evolve differently. This study uses Macaca assamensis, subspecies assamensis and pelops, to ... -
Parapatric subspecies of Macaca assamensis show a marginal overlap in their predicted potential distribution: Some elaborations for modern conservation management
Suwal, Madan Krishna; Huettmann, Falk; Regmi, Ganga Ram; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Data set, 2017)Phylogenetic niche conservatism implies that sister taxa will have similar niches, although the niches of disjunct subspecies may evolve differently. This study uses Macaca assamensis, subspecies assamensis and pelops, to ... -
Pteridophyte species richness in the central Himalaya is limited by cold climate extremes at high elevations and rainfall seasonality at low elevations
Qian, Hong; Kessler, Michael; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)There is a consensus that climate factors strongly influence species richness along elevation gradients, but which factors are crucial and how they operate are still elusive. Here, we assess the relative importance of ... -
Remote sensing of β-diversity: Evidence from plant communities in a semi-natural system
Hoffmann, Samuel; Schmitt, Thomas M; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Irl, Severin D.H.; Rocchini, Duccio; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Tanase, Mihai A; Mermoz, Stephane; Bouvet, Alexandre; Beierkuhnlein, Carl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Question: Do remote sensing signals represent β‐diversity? Does β‐diversity agree with community types? Location: UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve, La Palma, Canary Islands. Methods: We recorded perennial, vascular ... -
Restoring heathlands after afforestation on two islands in western Norway
Saure, Heidi Iren; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Hassel, Kristian; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The ongoing loss of red-listed coastal heathlands is a threat to biodiversity and cultural heritage legacies throughout the Atlantic coastal regions of Europe. It is possible to restore degraded and afforested heathlands, ... -
Weighted average regression and environmental calibration as a tool for quantifying climate-driven changes in vegetation
Bhatta, Kuber Prasad; Birks, Harry John Betteley; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Aims: Studies of the climatic responses of plant assemblages via vegetation-based environmental reconstructions by weighted averaging (WA) regression and calibration are a recent development in modern vegetation ecology. ...
