Abstract:
... Ecosystem health report cards have become increasingly more important tools for communicating environmental state and assessing progress towards management goals. We provide an overview of the major analytical methods underpinning the translation of observed data into robust health indices. In particular, we outline the process of indicator selection, illustrate a variety of index metrics and desc ...

environmental health,   etc   ; ecosystems; evolution; metagenomics; pathogens;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Understanding the emergence of pathogenic viruses has dominated studies of virus evolution. However, new metagenomic studies imply that relatively few of an immense number of viruses may lead to overt disease. This suggests a change in emphasis, from viruses as habitual pathogens to integral components of ecosystems. Here we show how viruses alter interactions between host individuals, populations ...

Fundamental to all of these in one way or another are the four “principles of biomedical ethics”, originally proposed by Beauchamp and Childress (1979) as a guide for decision making in clinical practice. Suggestions have been ...

Abstract:
... The phrase “what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger” suggests the possibility that living systems have evolved a spectrum of adaptive mechanisms resulting in a biological stress response strategy that enhances resilience in a targeted quantifiable manner for amplitude and duration. If so, what are its evolutionary foundations and impact on biological diversity? Substantial research demonstrates tha ...
