ecology,   etc   ; cognition; energy; food quality; uncertainty;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... To solve the adaptive problem of food uncertainty, humans have evolved cognitive mechanisms for preferring energy dense foods which are sensitive to ecological cues. In the current studies, ecological cues were used to determine if individuals alter their preferences for energy dense foods when exposed to safe, resource scarce, or violent ecological cues. In addition, the Anticipated Food Scarcity ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotic pollution imposes urgent threats to public health and microbial-mediated ecological processes. Existing studies have primarily focused on bacterial responses to antibiotic pollution, but they ignored the microeukaryotic counterpart, though microeukaryotes are functionally important (e.g., predators and saprophytes) in microbial ecology. Herein, we explored how the assembly of sediment m ...

Abstract:
... Marinades are increasingly used to manufacture raw fish products. In corresponding meats, marinating is known to have a major effect on the composition of the microbiome, but the effect of marinating on fish is not known as well. This knowledge gap prompted our study of the microbial ecology and amine formation in marinated and unmarinated modified atmosphere commercially packaged rainbow trout fi ...

Abstract:
... Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and stabilisation are largely affected by microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), which is defined as the proportion of substrate carbon (C) uptake that microbes use for growth. Microbial CUE varies due to substrate quality and availability differences, but this may also depend on soil properties, such as pH, soil organic C (SOC) and clay content. We conducte ...

The increase in the incidence in hazelnut orchards observed during recent years in Central Italy is increasing the need for information and studies on its biology and ecology, and how environmental factors (e.g., temperature) influence its development. For this purpose, seven isolates from different provenances of M. coryli were ...

Studies of community assembly and species interactions are updating our view of the mechanisms underpinning microbial diversity in single-type ecosystems, yet they are rarely conducted in ecotones, such as the agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China (APEN) undergoing frequent land-use conversions. In this study, soil microbial assembly processes and co-occurrence patterns were examined in differen ...

Abstract:
... Excessive N fertilization causes the deterioration of soil microbiome. It is therefore imperative to explore the response of the microbial community in excessively N-fertilized soil to reduce subsequent N supply (RCN) and organic fertilization (OF). Hence, this study used an excessively N-fertilized plot to conduct field experiment of wheat and maize rotation over four years to assess the effects ...

However, there are limited studies that have shown direct relationship between soil bacterial composition and its effect on disease suppressive potential under different farming systems. Thus, the objective of the study was to understand the effect of ...

Ca deficiency of peanut plants is likely to occur in most acidified soils (ASs, pH < 5.5) and some neutral soils (NSs, pH 6.5–7.5) in China. Liming is widely used to supply Ca and increase peanut yield. Nevertheless, the effects of liming on the chemical and microbial properties of peanut soils are still unclear, particul ...

We note the continuing widespread use of regressions of mathematically dependent (derived or confounded) variables [e.g. comparisons of standardized ratios: X/Y versus Z/Y, or the part versus the whole: X versus (X + Y)] in all disciplines of biology and ecology. These may lead to ‘spurious' correlations as even random numbers would produce similarly statistically significant results. We developed ...

Abstract:
... Emerging data in a range of non-human animal species have highlighted a latent ability to combine certain pre-existing calls together into larger structures. Currently, however, the quantification of context-specific call combinations has received less attention. This is problematic because animal calls can co-occur with one another simply through chance alone. One common approach applied in langu ...
