Subject:
ecology,   etc   ; evolution; humans;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Conditions capable of supporting multicellular life are predicted to continue for another billion years, but humans will inevitably become extinct within several million years. We explore the paradox of a habitable planet devoid of people, and consider how to prioritise our actions to maximise life after we are gone. ...

Abstract:
... Researchers now recognize the importance of the coral microbiome, but they often overlook other species that live on corals and influence coral–microbe interactions. These ‘interstitial associates’ should be incorporated into the metaorganism concept for insights into how facilitations between associates, corals, and their microbiomes can be leveraged in ecology and restoration. ...

Abstract:
... Stress is a normal part of life for fungi, which can survive in environments considered inhospitable or hostile for other organisms. Due to the ability of fungi to respond to, survive in, and transform the environment, even under severe stresses, many researchers are exploring the mechanisms that enable fungi to adapt to stress. The International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS) brings together ...

Abstract:
... Social-ecological system (SES) resilience involves the large information and complex relationships of nature, society and economy. To promote multi-disciplinary integration to jointly balance current well-being and long-term sustainability, it is necessary to sort resilience studies on different perspectives into a comprehensive framework to establish interdisciplinary consensus. Based on literatu ...

Abstract:
... The severity of the two deeply correlated crises, the environmental and the economic ones, needs to be faced also in theoretical terms; thus, the authors propose a model yielding a global “stationary state”, following the idea of a “steady-state economics” by Georgescu-Rogen and Herman Daly, by constructing only one dynamical system of ecological and economic coupled variables. This is possible re ...

Abstract:
... The discovery of the multidimensional nature of the inherited information carried by the epigenome and the characterization of its intra‐ and intergenerational dynamics have profoundly changed our understanding of the functioning of biological organisms and the origins of phenotypic diversity. This has raised considerable interest in the study of epigenetics which is emerging as a ‘missing link’ b ...

Things will get even better for the future of spatial ecology if we com ...

Abstract:
... The biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) occurs slowly when the degrading bacteria enter a low activity state, such as a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state, under unfavorable environmental conditions. The introduction of resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) can re-activate VBNC bacteria. This study tested the feasibility of enhancing PCB biodegradation via supplementing Rpf in liq ...

Abstract:
... Over the years, the Maltese Islands have seen a marked rise in the prevalence of artificial lighting at night. The most evident type of light pollution arising from this evolution in anthropogenic night-time lighting is artificial skyglow via partial back-scattering in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in the Night Sky Brightness (NSB). The importance of understanding and quantifying the geog ...

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the main thermophysical characteristics of forest fuel materials (by the example of bark, needles, and leaves) with varying key parameters: the sample density (750–1120 kg/m³) and the size of the structure elements (60–150 μm). Each of these parameters is shown to have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, heat capacity and tem ...
