Colloque du CSBQ -2020 QCBS Symposium

Traditional evolutionary theory has long asserted that adaptive divergence is unlikely to occur over fine spatial scales, as gene flow is expected to limit the effects of selection. However, with the advent of the concept of microgeographic divergence, the assumptions of classical... Read More →

Describing the spatial distribution of species is vital for successful species, habitat, or α-diversity conservation policies and recovery plans; however, geographic species occurrence data are rarely complete and are vulnerable to systematic biases. Species distribution models (SDMs... Read More →

L’habituation est un processus d’apprentissage par lequel un individu diminue sa réponseà un stimulus après une exposition répétée à celui-ci. Quoique ce processus ait été surtoutétudié dans les domaines de la psychologie et de la cognition, son intérêt en écologieévolutive... Read More →

Determining the factors that limit species range distributions is fundamental to understanding patterns of diversity, particularly for plant species which often serve as the foundation of ecosystems. However, the extent to which biotic interactions, specifically mutualisms, influence... Read More →

La théorie de l'entropie maximale de l'écologie (mieux connue sous son acronyme anglais METE) prédit plusieurs distributions macroécologiques d'intérêt en biologie de la conservation. À partir d'une poignée de variables d'état caractérisant une communauté biologique (e.g... Read More →
