Impact of Transgenic Cry1Ab/2Aj Maize on Abundance of Non-Target Arthropods in the Field

Plants, 2022
Transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) maize has broad prospects for application in China. Before commercialization, it is necessary to assess possible ecological impacts, including impacts on non-target arthropods (NTAs) in the field.

Benthic and hyporheic invertebrate community responses to seasonal flow recession in a groundwater-dominated stream [PDF]

, 2011
Natural hydrological variability in lotic ecosystems can include prolonged periods of flow recession. A reduction in discharge is accompanied by abiotic changes in benthic and hyporheic habitats, often including reductions in s habitat availability ...

The Impact of Warming on Assembly Processes and Diversity Patterns of Bacterial Communities in Mesocosms

Microorganisms, 2023
Bacteria in lake water bodies and sediments play crucial roles in various biogeochemical processes. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of bacterioplankton and sedimentary bacteria community composition and assembly processes across ...

Sneaking into a Hotspot of Biodiversity: Coverage and Integrity of a Rhodolith Bed in the Strait of Sicily (Central Mediterranean Sea)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Habitat mapping, physical characteristics and benthic community of a rhodolith bed in the Pelagie Islands (Strait of Sicily, Mediterranean Sea) were studied through Multi–Beam Echo–Sounder (MBES), Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and grab samples.

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]

, 2015
During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...

Regional-scale biogeographical patterns of soil- and root-associated microbial communities across nine planted Chinese fir forests

mSphere
Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is an economically important plantation tree species. Gaining insights into the belowground microbiome of Chinese fir is critical for optimizing plantation management and enhancing timber production.

Increased variability of microbial communities in restored salt marshes nearly 30 years after tidal flow restoration [PDF]

, 2012
We analyzed microbial diversity and community composition from four salt marsh sites that were impounded for 40–50 years and subsequently restored and four unimpounded sites in southeastern Connecticut over one growing season.

The community ecology of pathogens: coinfection, coexistence and community composition [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2015
AbstractDisease and community ecology share conceptual and theoretical lineages, and there has been a resurgence of interest in strengthening links between these fields. Building on recent syntheses focused on the effects of host community composition on single pathogen systems, we examine pathogen (microparasite) communities using a stochastic ...

What Makes Communities Tick? Community Health Analysis Using Role Compositions [PDF]

2012 International Conference on Privacy, Security, Risk and Trust and 2012 International Confernece on Social Computing, 2012
Today’s Web is social and largely driven by a wide variety of online communities. Many such communities are owned and managed by businesses that draw much value from these communities, in the form of efficient and cheaper customer support, generation of new ideas, fast spreading of information, etc.
