Temporal beta diversity and community concordance in freshwater fish and benthic macroinvertebrates on a national scale: Does biodiversity change at the same rate? by Mi-Jung Bae, Eui-Jin Kim

“…This indicates that species replacement –especially from endemic and anthropogenic disturbance sensitive species to invasive and tolerant species – is the dominant process shaping the observed biodiversity patterns. Furthermore, the degree of similarity between fish and macroinvertebrate communities (i.e., concordance) showed a diverse pattern of changes across the basins, emphasizing that the annual rate of biodiversity change between two communities differs according to the basins. …”

Scenario-based land use management to restore natural areas and reducing soil erosion rate in a competing land uses condition by Khadijeh Haji, Abazar Esmali-Ouri, Raoof Mostafazadeh, Habib Nazarnejad

“…Introducing soil conservation techniques in dry farming on steep terrain, as depicted in scenario 6 (conservation and restoration of plowed rangelands), resulted in a reduction of the erosion rate from 17.22 to 9.75 (t/ha/yr). On the other hand, scenario 20, characterized by severe rangeland degradation and overgrazing, exhibited the highest estimated erosion rate at 30.42 (t/ha/yr). …”

Heart rate and EEG gamma band connectivity in the ventral attention network during emotional movie stimulation in women with high emotion dysregulation by Francesca Fusina, Marco Marino, Alessandro Angrilli

“…Both the High Dysregulation (HD) and Low Dysregulation (LD) groups watched 18 validated video-clips divided in 6 different emotional categories (Erotic, Scenery, Neutral, Sadness, Compassion and Fear) while EEG from 64 electrodes and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Focusing on alpha and gamma EEG rhythms, the connectivity within the VAN network and between VAN and other five relevant networks (DAN, DMN, LN, SMN, VN) was computed and then correlated with the heart rate.ResultsResults showed a different pattern of HR-Network-connectivity correlation in the two groups. …”
