Biodiversity assessment is one of the major challenges for ecology and conservation. With
current increase of biodiversity loss during the last decades, there is an urgent need to …

Volunteer-based standardized monitoring of birds has been widely implemented in Europe
and North America. In France, a breeding bird survey is running since 1989 and offers keen …

A part of biodiversity assessment and monitoring consists in the estimation and track of the
changes in species composition and abundance of animal communities. Such a task …

Studies reporting phenological changes in response to climate change are numerous and
concern all groups of living organisms. Phenological changes could cause mismatching in …

Understanding the abiotic and biotic variables affecting tick populations is essential for
studying the biology and health risks associated with vector species. We conducted a study …

Accurate biodiversity and population monitoring is a requirement for effective conservation
decision making. Survey method bias is therefore a concern, particularly when research …

One of the most consensual ecological effects of the current climate warming is the alteration
of the environmental timing of ecosystems. Phenological shifts, at different levels of food …

Seasonality exerts strong pressures on biodiversity patterns. Yet, temporal beta-diversity is
poorly studied in tropical systems, and the drivers of variability in amphibian activity and …

Estimating population abundance is central to population ecology. With increasing concern
over declining insect populations, estimating trends in abundance has become even more …

Evidences for phenological changes in response to climate change are now numerous. One
of the most documented changes has been the advance of spring arrival dates in migratory …
