Comment lire ce graphe

Ce graphe représente les interactions écologiques documentées entre Quercus arkansana et d'autres espèces, à partir de la base GloBI (Global Biotic Interactions, agrégation mondiale de la littérature scientifique) — source principale, complétée par d'autres jeux de données d'interactions agrégés par Ontologia. Il faut le comprendre comme une carte du savoir documenté, pas une carte de la réalité écologique exhaustive.

Limites principales

  • Incomplet. La majorité des interactions écologiques en milieu naturel n'ont jamais été publiées. Une espèce sans liens visibles n'est pas isolée — elle est probablement mal étudiée.
  • Biais publication pharmaco-agronomique. La littérature des interactions est polarisée par les enjeux économiques et sanitaires : parasitism / pathogen sur-pondéré sur les mammifères (recherche zoonoses, vecteurs), herbivory sur-pondéré sur les insectes phytophages (entomologie agronomique). À l'inverse, mutualisms, commensalisms et interactions sol/microbiote sont sous-cités. Conseil de lecture : sur les hubs mammifères ou les insectes ravageurs de culture, lire les arêtes parasitism / herbivory dominantes relativement au contexte de littérature, pas comme une mesure d'intensité écologique brute. Détails §10.1.
  • Biaisé vers les espèces étudiées. Quelques espèces (oiseaux communs, abeille mellifère, espèces modèles) concentrent disproportionnellement plus d'interactions documentées. Notre score composite ajoute un malus aux hubs de littérature pour atténuer cette dominance visuelle.
  • Interactions documentées globalement. Toutes les espèces affichées sont observées en France métropolitaine (les observations sont filtrées sur le territoire métropolitain), mais les interactions entre elles proviennent de la littérature scientifique mondiale. Une interaction documentée à l'étranger peut ne pas se réaliser à l'identique sur votre territoire. Le filtre « restreindre à ma commune » tient compte de la co-occurrence spatiale locale mais ne garantit pas l'interaction effective.
  • Sans dimension temporelle. Les variations saisonnières (migration, floraison, cycle de vie) ne sont pas modélisées.
  • Force d'interaction approximative. L'épaisseur des liens reflète le nombre de fois où l'interaction a été rapportée dans la littérature, pas son importance écologique réelle.

Comment nous sélectionnons les espèces affichées

Le graphe affiche au plus 31 nœuds par fiche (1 centre + 15 bulles depth=1 + 15 partenaires depth=2). Le serveur sélectionne intelligemment :

  • Bulles famille créées si une cascade taxonomique existe ou si ≥3 espèces directement documentées partagent une même famille — les espèces sont absorbées dans la bulle (pas de doublon visuel)
  • Espèces individuelles uniquement quand <3 dans une famille (sans cascade) — relations directes documentées
  • Pas d'espèces inférées affichées en doublon — les cascades sont représentées via les bulles famille uniquement
  • Partenaires depth=2 sélectionnés via algo priorité : candidat partagé par ≥2 docs de la famille (food web central) → reliant entre bulles → top sum_obs en dernier recours
  • Sous-types GloBI traduits en français au survol de la flèche (chasse, parasite, parasitoïde, mycorhize…)

Le toggle Profondeur 1 ↔ 2 client-side cache ou affiche les partenaires depth=2 sans refetch. Filtres règne, type d'interaction, ordres/familles, patrimoniales et commune recalculent côté serveur (slow path live ~1-2 s).

Indicateurs avancés (mode expert) : Modularité Q (Newman 2006, PNAS), communautés (Louvain, Blondel et al. 2008, J. Stat. Mech.), nestedness NODF (Almeida-Neto et al. 2008, Oikos).

État de la populationExpert
Considered a relict species, Quercus arkansana is found in isolated, scattered occurrences across the southeastern US. Previously considered endemic to the Coastal Plain of the Gulf of Mexico, a 1989 report of the species from eastern Georgia represented an eastern range extension for the species and its first documented occurrence from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. An inconspicuous understory tree, Arkansas Oak can easily be overlooked and is likely under collected, though it is known to be infrequent and quite uncommon throughout most of its range, with most stands isolated and containing just a few to a few dozen individuals. The exceptions to this are a number of areas of local abundance, namely in southwestern Arkansas and the Florida panhandle, where healthy subpopulations support thousands of trees. In southwestern Arkansas, where the species was first collected and for which it was named, the species is considered fairly stable and abundant in several localized sites (B. Baker pers. comm. 2015). Within a narrow range in the Florida panhandle, large subpopulations hold thousands of plants and are reported to be healthy and thriving in this restricted area (G. Knight pers. comm. 2015).

Throughout the majority of its range, Q. arkansana occurs in small, severely fragmented subpopulations, with many occurrences holding only a few (one to five) to a few dozen individuals. These occurrences are often separated by several to many kilometres, distances greater than the typical maximum value of about 600 m reported for dispersal of acorns by animals, and much greater than the typical dispersal distance of about 100 m or less (Pons and Pausas 2007). This means that stands that are wiped out are unlikely to be recolonized from remaining occurrences, given the distance of unfavourable habitat separating them. While a few large subpopulations of Arkansas oak exist in southwestern Arkansas and Florida (recorded by state agencies as Element Occurrences separated by at least one kilometre), these represent only a portion (less than half) of the total AOO of Q. arkansana, the majority of which represents small, patchily distributed occurrences across the southeastern US.

Description complète des menacesExpert
Quercus arkansana faces threats from the conversion of its habitat to pine plantations. Commercial forestry practices such as timber harvest and prescribed burns threaten small, scattered occurrences of this species: detrimental impacts of silviculture on several subpopulations have been documented, and stands at some sites have been reported to have been destroyed (Hunt 1986, Georgia DNR 2015, ANHC 2015, ALNHP 2015). Another threat is the clearing and unfavourable management of land. One large subpopulation in southwestern Alabama, which occurs on land recently designated as the Pike County Pocosin Nature Preserve, has since experienced losses of these trees on uplands due to management practices aimed at promoting Gopher Tortoise and game species by encouraging pines and removing oaks through the use of fire and herbicide (A. Diamond pers. comm. 2015). In many cases, it is this species' habit of occupying ravine slopes and stream heads that best protects it from destruction or removal. Recent reports of occurrences in Alabama have also noted dieback of trees, causing the majority of individuals to grow as stump sprouts just a few meters tall. While the precise cause of this dieback is not known, recent years of drought have been suggested as a possible cause (A. Diamond pers. comm. 2015). Private land ownership of many sites and introgression from more common red oaks (particularly in light of this species' ecology and sporadic distribution) pose additional threats to Arkansas Oak.

Additionally a major threat to Quercus arkansana is habitat shifting under climate change, as evidenced by a recent study that projected declines in suitable habitat area by of over 60.48% under projections for 2050 (Hargrove et al. 2016). A recent study by Potter et al. (2017) used species specific traits to asses trees in three vulnerability categories: 1) exposure to climate change, which included projected area change by 2050 and distance to future habitat; 2) sensitivity to threat, which included rarity, area of distribution, dispersal ability, and disturbance tolerance; and 3) adaptability to threat, which included regeneration, genetic variability, and ecological requirements. Quercus arkansana was in the group with high values for all three vulnerability categories. It was found to have high exposure to the threat of climate change, high sensitivity to this threat and low adaptability (Potter et al. 2017).

Mesures de conservation recommandéesExpert
Arkansas Oak is considered globally Vulnerable (G3) by NatureServe and is listed as an S2/State Imperiled species in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana and S3/State Vulnerable in Florida and Arkansas (though the state of Arkansas discontinued regular tracking of Quercus arkansana in 2010 due to local abundance and fairly stable subpopulations; B. Baker pers. comm. 2015). While little recent attention has been given to the conservation of Arkansas Oak, subpopulations are known to occur on numerous protected areas throughout the range, including Caddo Black Bayou Preserve (TNC) in Louisiana, several natural areas in Arkansas, Hannahatchee Wildlife Management Area in Georgia, the Oakmulgee Division of the Talladega National Forest in Alabama (where it is listed as a sensitive species), and importantly Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, which holds thousands of trees in healthy subpopulations and which protects the plants through an effective land management program (G. Knight pers. comm. 2015, L. Anderson pers. comm. 2015, T. Patrick pers. comm. 2015). According to BGCI, Q. arkansana is currently held in 28 ex situ collections worldwide, but additional effort should be invested in collecting and cultivating seed from genetically diverse sources, protecting habitat and regularly monitoring subpopulations.
