Much beyond Mantel: Bringing Procrustes Association Metric to the Plant and Soil Ecologist’s Toolbox
The correlation of multivariate data is a common task in investigations of soil biology and in ecology in general. Procrustes analysis and the Mantel test are two approaches that often meet this objective and are considered analogous in many situations especially when used as a statistical test to assess the statistical significance between multivariate data tables. Here we call the attention o...
متن کاملA hitchhiker’s guide to the new molecular toolbox for ecologists
Thirty years ago, marine microbes were described by crude morphology and the ability to grow on different carbon sources. Our understanding of their ecological role in aquatic environments was murky at best. Since then, the development of new molecular methods facilitated by DNA sequencing resulted in a revolution in the field of microbial molecular ecology and evolution. Plummeting sequencing ...
متن کاملUseful surrogates of soil texture for plant ecologists from airborne gamma‐ray detection
Plant ecologists require spatial information on functional soil properties but are often faced with soil classifications that are not directly interpretable or useful for statistical models. Sand and clay content are important soil properties because they indicate soil water-holding capacity and nutrient content, yet these data are not available for much of the landscape. Remotely sensed soil r...

Grebe studies the establishment and maintenance of cell and tissue polarity in plants.
متن کاملMaximising Synergy among Tropical Plant Systematists, Ecologists, and Evolutionary Biologists.
Closer collaboration among ecologists, systematists, and evolutionary biologists working in tropical forests, centred on studies within long-term permanent plots, would be highly beneficial for their respective fields. With a key unifying theme of the importance of vouchered collection and precise identification of species, especially rare ones, we identify four priority areas where improving l...
