Modeling pN2 through Geological Time: Implications for Planetary Climates and Atmospheric Biosignatures [PDF]
, 2016 Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all life on Earth and could plausibly play a similar role in extraterrestrial biospheres. The major reservoir of nitrogen at Earth's surface is atmospheric N2, but recent studies have proposed that the size of this ...

Red-edge position of habitable exoplanets around M-dwarfs
Scientific Reports, 2017 One of the possible signs of life on distant habitable exoplanets is the red-edge, which is a rise in the reflectivity of planets between visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths.

Adaptationism fails to resolve Fermi's paradox [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2005 One of the most interesting problems in the nascent discipline of astrobiology is more than half-century old Fermi's paradox: why, considering extraordinary young age of Earth and the Solar System in the Galactic context, don't we perceive much older ...

A sustainable culture of tardigrades (Hypsibius dujardini) for astrobiological laboratory activities [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Tardigrades are microscopic organisms that have gained importance in astrobiology in recent years. They have extreme survival ability and can enter into a state of latency for several years called cryptobiosis.
