The Astrobiology of the Anthropocene [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Human influence on the biosphere has been evident at least since the development of widespread agriculture, and some stratigraphers have suggested that the activities of modern civilization indicate a geological epoch transition. The study of the anthropocene as a geological epoch, and its implication for the future of energy-intensive civilizations ...

Sustainability and the Astrobiological Perspective: Framing Human Futures in a Planetary Context [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We explore how questions related to developing a sustainable human civilization can be cast in terms of astrobiology. In particular we show how ongoing astrobiological studies of the coupled relationship between life, planets and their co-evolution can inform new perspectives and direct new studies in sustainability science. Using the Drake Equation as

Mediterranean octocoral populations exposed to marine heatwaves are less resilient to disturbances
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We demonstrate that marine heat waves decrease the resilience of Mediterranean octocorals to further disturbances. Abstract The effects of climate change are now more pervasive than ever. Marine ecosystems have been particularly impacted by climate change, with marine heatwaves (MHWs) being a strong driver of mass mortality events.

Understanding and predicting animal movements and distributions in the Anthropocene
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This review provides a framework to better understand and predict animal movements and distributions in human‐modified environments. Bridging the gap between movement models and management/conservation policy is challenging. Here, the recommendations presented highlight the exciting opportunities now available to advance the field of movement ecology ...

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.Overall greater responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi by late successional species is consistent with an important role of AM fungi in plant succession, even while AM fungi are less impactful overall in high P soils. However, the increase in responsiveness of below‐ground allocation of late successional species to AM fungi in low water ...

COVID‐19 and the Meaning of Crisis
Development and Change, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1151-1176, November 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Crisis is a concept that has a long history; it has come to denote moments of rupture and to foreground life and death decisions necessary for its resolution. The recent deployment of the concept in broad social, economic and political spheres has not only given rise to an industry of crisis management but has also established it as a ...
