Geoadditive Regression Modeling of Stream Biological Condition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Indices of biotic integrity (IBI) have become an established tool to quantify the condition of small non-tidal streams and their watersheds. To investigate the effects of watershed characteristics on stream biological condition, we present a new ...

Partitioning of net CO2 exchanges at the city-atmosphere interface into biotic and abiotic components

open access: yesMethodsX, 2021
Eddy covariance (EC) method has been used to measure CO2 fluxes over various ecosystems. Recently, the EC method has been also deployed in urban areas to measure CO2 fluxes. Urban carbon cycle is complex because of the additional anthropogenic processes unlike natural ecosystems but the EC method only measures the net sum of all CO2 sources and sink ...

First detection of the pre-biotic molecule glycolonitrile (HOCH2CN) in the interstellar medium [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2019
Theories of a pre-RNA world suggest that glycolonitrile (HOCH$_2$CN) is a key species in the process of ribonucleotide assembly, which is considered as a molecular precursor of nucleic acids.

Macroecology of parental care in arthropods: higher mortality risk leads to higher benefits of offspring protection in tropical climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The intensity of biotic interactions varies around the world, in such a way that mortality risk imposed by natural enemies is usually higher in the tropics.

Chemical Manipulation of Abscisic Acid Signaling: A New Approach to Abiotic and Biotic Stress Management in Agriculture

open access: yesAdvancement of science, 2020
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is the best‐known stress signaling molecule in plants. ABA protects sessile land plants from biotic and abiotic stresses.

The emergence of environmental homeostasis in complex ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Earth, with its core-driven magnetic field, convective mantle, mobile lid tectonics, oceans of liquid water, dynamic climate and abundant life is arguably the most complex system in the known universe. This system has exhibited stability in the sense

Factors shaping community assemblages and species co-occurrence of different trophic levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Species assemblages are the results of various processes, including dispersion and habitat filtering. Disentangling the effects of these different processes is challenging for statistical analysis, especially when biotic interactions should be considered.

Evaluation and identification of wild lentil accessions for enhancing genetic gains of cultivated varieties.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Domesticated lentil has a relatively narrow genetic base globally and most released varieties are susceptible to severe biotic and abiotic stresses. The crop wild relatives could provide new traits of interest for tailoring novel germplasm and cultivated

Seasonal Dynamics of Pelagic Mycoplanktonic Communities: Interplay of Taxon Abundance, Temporal Occurrence, and Biotic Interactions

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Marine fungi are an important component of pelagic planktonic communities. However, it is not yet clear how individual fungal taxa are integrated in marine processes of the microbial loop and food webs.

Seasonal, synoptic, and diurnal-scale variability of biogeochemical trace gases and O2 from a 300-m tall tower in central Siberia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present first results from 19 months of semicontinuous concentration measurements of biogeochemical trace gases (CO2, CO, and CH4) and O2, measured at the Zotino Tall Tower Observatory (ZOTTO) in the boreal forest of central Siberia.
