Colloque du CSBQ -2020 QCBS Symposium

Loin d’être de simples écotones entre les milieux terrestres et aquatiques, les milieux humides lacustres sont des écosystèmes diversifiés, soutenant une vaste gamme de fonctions et services écologiques. Leur typologie est fortement influencée par les caractéristiques hydrogéomorphologiques... Read More →

Climate change is likely to negatively affect the habitats of non-human primate species. Recent research has identified a near-linear relationship between cumulative CO2 emissions, and the resulting regional and seasonal temperature increase. We use this relationship to assess the... Read More →

Microbial eukaryotes represent a morphologically, phylogenetically, and ecologically diverse fraction of lake microbiomes whose contributions to lake food webs and biogeochemistry have yet to be fully elucidated. Moreover, as human pressures on lakes increase and diversify, the responses... Read More →

Rapid growth in urban development has sparked debate in the literature about how to design cities in a way that minimizes environmental impact. One aspect of this issue is whether or not urban densification reduces access to environmental benefits. We address the question: How does... Read More →

Coastal wetlands play crucial ecological, economic and social roles that stem from their rich biodiversity. They provide essential habitat for a large variety of species, mitigate climate change and offer coastal protection and water purification. However, the Great Lakes (GL) wetlands... Read More →

Connectivity conservation science, whose goal is to preserve the continuity of habitat throughout a given landscape, proceeds by identifying priority areas given the current configuration of the landscape. However, current connectivity conservation planning methods often do not take... Read More →

Les dérèglements climatiques actuels constituent une menace pour la biodiversité planétaire et les services écosystémiques qui lui sont liés. Lorsque les conditions climatiques varient de manière abrupte, comme observé en ce moment, les organismes vivants peuvent soit s’adapter... Read More →

At the end of the summer, tundra birds leave the tundra and often travel thousands of kilometers to reach diverse habitats such as the grasslands of South America, the shorelines of the Atlantic coast and the upwelling zones in West Africa. Habitats used as stopover sites and overwintering... Read More →

Humans are rapidly reshaping our planet, leaving Earth’s habitats smaller and patchier. Understanding and predicting the impacts of landscape change on ecological processes has been a major theme of ecological research over the last several decades. It is abundantly clear that the... Read More →

L’accroissement d’évènements climatiques extrêmes liés aux changements globaux inflige de lourdes perturbations de plus en plus perceptibles sur les écosystèmes forestiers. En effet, les forêts mondiales accuseraient déjà une forte mortalité liée à des évènements... Read More →
