Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in helminth infracommunities of spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in St. Katherine’s Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt (2018)
Journal Article
Behnke, J. M., Bajer, A., Behnke-Borowczyk, J., Clisham, N., Gilbert, F., Glover, A., …Zalat, S. (in press). Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in helminth infracommunities of spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in St. Katherine’s Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt. Parasitology, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182018000987

The importance of parasites as a selective force in host evolution is a topic of current interest. However, short-term ecological studies of host-parasite systems, on which such studies are usually based, provide only snap-shots of what may be dynami...

Elevation patterns of plant diversity and recent altitudinal range shifts in Sinai’s high mountain flora (2018)
Journal Article
Coals, P., Shmida, A., Vasl, A., Mansour, N., & Gilbert, F. (in press). Elevation patterns of plant diversity and recent altitudinal range shifts in Sinai’s high mountain flora. Journal of Vegetation Science, 29(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.12618

Questions: Is there evidence of recent altitudinal range shifts in a hyper-arid Middle Eastern desert mountain flora? How do the directions of shift for upper and lower altitudinal range limits of plants vary? Location: Hyper-arid mountain desert,...

Alien honeybees increase pollination risks for range-restricted plants (2018)
Journal Article
Norfolk, O., Gilbert, F., & Eichhorn, M. P. (2018). Alien honeybees increase pollination risks for range-restricted plants. Diversity and Distributions, 24(5), 705-713. https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.12715

Aim:Range-restricted species are of high conservation concern and the way in which they interact with more widespread species has implications for their persistence. Here we determine how the specialisation of mutualistic interactions varies with res... Read More about Alien honeybees increase pollination risks for range-restricted plants.
