BIODIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO COMMUNITY CONSERVED SACRED GROVES IN BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE

VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY, 2022
Forest remnants that have been kept for their spiritual and religious importance are called sacred groves. The practise became more important as agriculture spread, resulting in extensive deforestation that negatively impacted watersheds and biodiversity. Although they may be less prominent today, sacred groves are nonetheless important in rural Indian

Maternal Preconception Antibiotic Exposure Disrupts Microbial Succession: A Transgenerational Risk for Offspring Gut Mucosal Immaturity and Colitis Susceptibility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that maternal antibiotic exposure prior to conception disrupts intergenerational gut microbial succession. By enhancing maternal‐offspring microbial transmission, altering microbial developmental trajectories and increasing selective pressures during community assembly, these disturbances lead to persistent gut mucosal immaturity and

Scale‐dependent impact of land management on above‐ and belowground biodiversity

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Land management is known to have consequences for biodiversity; however, our synthetic understanding of its effects is limited due to highly variable results across studies, which vary in the focal taxa and spatial grain considered, as well as the ...

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.
