Symbiosis and the Anthropocene [PDF]
Symbiosis, 2021 AbstractRecent human activity has profoundly transformed Earth biomes on a scale and at rates that are unprecedented. Given the central role of symbioses in ecosystem processes, functions, and services throughout the Earth biosphere, the impacts of human-driven change on symbioses are critical to understand.

Insect decline in the Anthropocene: Death by a thousand cuts
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Nature is under siege. In the last 10,000 y the human population has grown from 1 million to 7.8 billion. Much of Earth’s arable lands are already in agriculture (1), millions of acres of tropical forest are cleared each year (2, 3), atmospheric CO2 ...

Drivers and variability of CO2:O2 saturation along a gradient from boreal to Arctic lakes
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lakes are significant players for the global climate since they sequester terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and emit greenhouse gases like CO2 to the atmosphere.

Inequitable patterns of US flood risk in the Anthropocene
Nature Climate Change, 2022 Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 ...

Abundance in the Anthropocene [PDF]
The Sociological Review, 2019 Numerous attempts have been made to understand the Anthropocene in relation to overwhelming species and habitat loss. However, amidst these losses ecological niches have emerged and been taken as signs of resilience and hope: from mushrooms that flourish in damaged forests to urban wildlife in brownfield sites.

Technologies of the Anthropocene [PDF]
Cultural Science, 2022 Abstract Rather than a levelling-down of the human to the standing of a biological machine, technologies of the Anthropocene have tended towards sensibilities which level-up a variety of non-humans. In simpler terms, these technologies (such as AI, robotics and the technologies of space exploration) have tended to promote new animistic ...
