Both have their origins in knowledge generation and both demonstrate value for government, academics, business and industry through their uses and applications. In a way, innovation and grey literature are two sides of the same coinage. Innovation is the catalyst for positive change and grey literature is the measure of benchmarks in the further process of research and development. Innovation and grey literature share parallel life cycles in which early growth is relatively slow until their use and application become recognized both within and later beyond their community of origin. Expected top-line growth and increased bottom-line results are achieved in part through new technologies, through redeployment and enhancement of existing products and services, which at times are unachieved. Nevertheless, the process shared by innovation and grey literature carries on. The goal of the Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature set out to track the process of innovation by tracing the research life cycle and observing its convergence in the field of grey literature. Thirty-five presentations from authors and researchers from 17 countries worldwide are harvested in this Program Book. Dr. Dominic J.

During the last semester, there were changes in Chairs of both ESFRI and e-IRG, whereas, both an e-IRG blue paper (requested by ESFRI) and ESFRI TWG documents have been produced, to support decision making procedures, which will significantly move RIs forward, despite the worldwide economic crisis. The presentations and discussion held during the International Conference on RIs in Rome (http://www.euroris-net.eu/News/project_news) highlight - among other issues - the socio-economic benefits stemming from Research Infrastructures, built with a global perspective and requiring an international cooperation setting, fully aligned with the European Research and Innovation Strategy. In the current issue, you can read information on the outcomes of important RI events in which EuroRIs- Net actively participated throughout this period, with dynamic contribution both in the dissemination of the benefits of RI programme to research communities, and to the broader dialogue with all FP7 thematic areas covered within the Research Infrastructures programme. ■ Project News and Events 1.

  • A Global Database for Metacommunity Ecology, Integrating Species, Traits
    www.nature.com/scientificdata There are amendments to this paper OPEN A global database for DATA DescRIPTOR metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space Alienor Jeliazkov et al.# The use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment have been extensively studied on a case-by-case basis, results are variable, and it remains unclear how generalizable these relationships are across ecosystems, taxa and spatial scales. To address this gap, we collated 80 datasets from trait-based studies into a global database for metaCommunity Ecology: Species, Traits, Environment and Space; “CESTES”. Each dataset includes four matrices: species community abundances or presences/absences across multiple sites, species trait information, environmental variables and spatial coordinates of the sampling sites. The CESTES database is a live database: it will be maintained and expanded in the future as new datasets become available. By its harmonized structure, and the diversity of ecosystem types, taxonomic groups, and spatial scales it covers, the CESTES database provides an important opportunity for synthetic trait-based research in community ecology. Background & Summary A major challenge in ecology is to understand the processes underlying community assembly and biodiversity patterns across space1,2. Over the three last decades, trait-based research, by taking up this challenge, has drawn increasing interest3, in particular with the aim of predicting biodiversity response to environment. In community ecology, it has been equated to the ‘Holy Grail’ that would allow ecologists to approach the potential processes underlying metacommunity patterns4–7.

  • Flood Pulse and Aquatic Habitat Dynamics of the Sentarum Floodplain Lakes Area
    Flood Pulse and Aquatic Habitat Dynamics of The Sentarum Floodplain Lakes Area H. Hidayat a,*, Siti Aisyah a, Riky Kurniawan a, Iwan Ridwansyah a, Octavianto Samir a, a Gadis Sri Haryani a Research Center for Limnology-LIPI; Kompleks LIPI Cibinong, Jalan Raya Bogor, Km. 46, Cibinong 16911; *[email protected] Received 29 November 2020 Accepted 13 December 2020 Published 17 December 2020 Abstract The Lake Sentarum is a complex of floodplain lakes in the middle part of the Kapuas River system in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The area has a great ecological and economic importance, however, the Sentarum lakes complex and its catchment area are generally threatened by deforestation, fire, monoculture agroindustry, and pollution.The objective of this research is to establish the hydrological characteristics of the Sentarum lakes area and to reveal the dynamics of aquatic habitat resulted from changing water levels. Data were collected during our field campaigns of 2013-2017 representing the seasons. The water level was measured using a pressure sensor placed at the Lake Sentarum National Park resort, while rainfall data were obtained from the data portal of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. Inundation monitoring was carried out using a time-lapse camera. A hydrological model is used to simulate water levels beyond measurement period. Water quality and fish sampling were carried out at the lake area. Vegetation observation was carried out at the selected riparian zone of the lake area using the line transect method. Water level records show that the Sentarum floodplain lakes have two peaks of inundation period following the bimodal pattern of rainfall in the equatorial Kapuas catchment.
