	abstract = {Tropical karst ecosystems are an exceptionally unique and important landscape element of South East (SE) Asia. Unfortunately, these ecosystems have been increasingly disturbed due to forest conversions to anthropogenic land uses, illegal logging, and limestone quarrying. Karst regions have a high degree of endemic species, so their loss is likely to have negative consequences for species conservation as well as ecological processes. We investigated dung-beetle communities from primary forests (PF), old secondary forests (>15 years since abandonment, OSF), young secondary forests (<10 years since abandonment, YSF), and Acacia plantations (<10 years old, AP) of karst ecosystems on Cat Ba Island (northern Vietnam). Our main aim was to provide a thorough and quantitative assessment of the taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles in the examined forests, and subsequently to determine the value of specific types of disturbed forests for biodiversity conservation. In total, 1458 dung beetles of 34 taxa were recorded. Community composition varied significantly among the forest types and was broadly separated into two groups: old-growth forests (i.e., PF and OSF) and young-growth forests (i.e., YSF and AP). While YSF and AP hosted severely impoverished dung-beetle communities, OSF with a high forest canopy cover and high ground vegetation cover harbored species-rich dung-beetle communities similar to those found in PF. However, functional diversity significantly differed between PF and OSF. The data also revealed that community responses were due to changing patterns of trait compositions rather than species richness.},

	abstract = {Parasites are ubiquitous and constitute a substantial amount of natural biomass. Host species differ greatly in how many parasite species they harbor. In this idea paper, we ask what may cause the distribution of parasite diversity in an ecosystem. Since host species interact trophically in a food web and parasites are often transmitted along trophic links, we argue that trophic transmission can be a potential mechanism for explaining parasite diversity distribution. We propose a modeling framework for investigating this issue. The feasibility of our idea is demonstrated by fitting a simulation model to data derived from the Carpinteria ecosystem. Our preliminary analysis suggests that a model with trophic transmission is able to produce parasite diversity distribution similar to the empirical data better than a model without trophic transmission can. We also discuss possible extensions of our preliminary work for future research.},

	abstract = {Diatom metrics are important tools for evaluating the environmental conditions of streams for the achievement of environmental sustainability. Aim of the present study was to assess the ecological status of Degirmendere and Bulakli streams using diatom indices developed in different ecoregions and to elucidate responses of diatom assemblages to stressors using multivariate approaches. Analysis of similarity percentage indicated a 74% dissimilarity between Degirmendere and Bulakli streams with the most contribution of Encyonopsis minuta, Achnanthidium minutissimum, Achnanthidium druartii, Amphora indistincta, and Gomphonema cuneolus species to this dissimilarity. The first two axes of canonical correspondence analysis exhibited a strong correlation (93.1%) between diatom assemblages and environment variables. Pollution-tolerant species were associated with Bulakli stream, whereas pollution-sensitive species displayed relatedness to Degirmendere stream. Conductivity, salinity, oxidation-reduction potential, total phosphorus (TP), and orthophosphate were the significant effective environmental factors on the spatiotemporal distribution of diatom assemblages. Used diatom indices showed significantly positive and negative correlations with TP gradient. The results of bioassessment exhibited that diatom indices have different scores for the ecological status of the sampling stations. European diatom indices except Trophic Diatom Index and Duero Diatom Index mainly showed similar behavior in the bioassessment of ecological conditions of Degirmendere and Bulakli streams. Among European diatom indices, Trophic Index Turkey was more competitive and could give better results in the bioassessment of streams. Results indicated that ecoregional specific diatom index could be used as a suitable tool to accurately evaluate the surface water quality.},

	abstract = {The aim of this study is to outline syntaxonomical diversity of yew (Taxus baccata L.) in the eastern of Hyrcanian forests, Jahan Nama Protected Area (JNPA), and to identify their main environmental gradients. Vegetation units were classified using modified TWINSPAN (two-way indicator species analysis) and were translated into syntaxonomic system. Syntaxa were determined by re-arrangement of each releve based on diagnostic species. Syntaxa were finally evaluated by diagnostic species and environmental parameters according to phi-values and analysis of variance, respectively. Detrended correspondence analysis was used to visualize the dissimilarity of syntaxa and their relationships with the environmental factors. The classification of JNPA yew forests resulted in six vegetation units. These patterns were translated into four associations (Asso.), two sub-associations (Subasso.) and two variants (Var.). (Asso.1) Fago orientalis-Taxetum baccatae is found in northern aspects with lower slopes and higher soil depth; (Asso.2) Aceri velutini-Taxetum baccatae is occurring in the moderate but rocky slopes. Asso.1 and Asso.2 are the same in altitude and involving Carpinus betulus as a co-dominant. (Asso.3) Carpino betuli-Carpino orientalis-Taxetum baccatae developed in the intermediate slopes. (Asso.4) Carpino orientalis-Taxetum baccatae appeared in the highest slope of northeast and northwest aspects with shallow soil depth. The main factors determining the species composition of the JNPA syntaxa are slope, eastness, elevation, and clay content. Finally, we concluded that yew could be associated by different plant species with different ecological desirability in the eastern of Hyrcanian forests. This study also provided the specific pattern of forest community type between C. betulus and C. orientalis in the JNPA using species combination concept.},
