Assessing mechanisms for microbial taxa and community dynamics using process models

mLife, 2023
Disentangling the assembly mechanisms controlling community composition, structure, distribution, functions, and dynamics is a central issue in ecology. Although various approaches have been proposed to examine community assembly mechanisms, quantitative

An Overview of Modern Applications of Negative Binomial Modelling in Ecology and Biodiversity

Diversity, 2022
Negative binomial modelling is one of the most commonly used statistical tools for analysing count data in ecology and biodiversity research. This is not surprising given the prevalence of overdispersion (i.e., evidence that the variance is greater than ...

Harmonizing the Pyrene and Ether Groups in Covalent Triazine Polymers for Highly Effective H2O2 Photosynthesis via One‐Step Two‐Electron Oxygen Reduction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The pyrene and ether groups are incorporated into the covalent triazine polymer (CTP) structure. The synergistic effect of the two functional groups endows CTP with better electron transfer, light absorption, and oxygen activation properties. An impressive apparent quantum yield (13.2% @420 nm) and a remarkable solar‐to‐chemical conversion efficiency ...

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]

, 2014
Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,

Full‐Spectrum Solar Harvesting and Desalination Enabled by Supra‐Nano Amorphous Ruthenium Dioxide – Mineral Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mineral‐based supra‐nano amorphous ruthenium dioxide composite (a‐Ru0.5‐AM) was designed, achieving 97% broadband solar absorption. Under one sun, it reaches 87.91 ± 0.32 °C with a distinct thermal buffering effect that favors thermal confinement.

Risk of vector tick exposure initially increases, then declines through time in response to wildfire in California

Ecosphere, 2018
Identifying the effects of human‐driven perturbations, such as species introductions or habitat fragmentation, on the ecology and dynamics of infectious disease has become a central focus of disease ecologists.

Gamma spectrometric analysis of lower Danube samples from Romania [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection
This paper focuses on the natural and anthropogenic radioactivity of sediment samples from key spots located in the Lower Danube area and the Danube Delta region. The idea of the study is to confirm that gamma spectrometry is an efficient method

Fine-Scale Vegetation Characteristics Drive Insect Ensemble Structures in a Desert Ecosystem: The Tenebrionid Beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Inhabiting the Ulan Buh Desert (Inner Mongolia, China)

Insects, 2020
In community ecology, ensembles are defined as phylogenetically bounded groups of species that use a similar set of resources within a community. Tenebrionids are a conspicuous faunal component of Asian deserts, but little is known about their community ...
