An In-Class Role-Playing Activity to Foster Discussion and Deeper Understanding of Biodiversity and Ecological Webs [PDF]

, 2013
In a general sense, biodiversity is an intuitively simple concept, referring to the variety of Earth’s organisms. Ecologists, however, conceptualize biodiversity in a more nuanced, multidimensional way to reflect the enormous diversity of species, niches,

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Heterogeneity of arthropod communities on the canopy of Ouratea hexasperma (Ochnaceae): does canopy size matter?

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
Arthropods exhibit high diversity, wide ecological range, broad distribution, and are found in various environments and microhabitats. In the Cerrado biome, many arthropods interact with specific plants, which function as their habitat and foraging ...

Ultimate drivers of native biodiversity change in agricultural systems [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/21m]

F1000Research, 2013
The ability to address land degradation and biodiversity loss while maintaining the production of plant and animal products is a key global challenge. Biodiversity decline as a result of vegetation clearance, cultivation, grazing, pesticide and herbicide

Biodiversity within phytoplankton-associated microbiomes regulates host physiology, host community ecology, and nutrient cycling

mSystems
ABSTRACT Biological diversity is declining across the tree of life, including among prokaryotes. With the increasing awareness of host-associated microbes as potential regulators of eukaryotic host physiology, behavior, and ecology, it is important to understand the implications of declining diversity ...

Integrating Spatial Proteogenomics in Cancer Research

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Xx xx. ABSTRACT Background: Spatial proteogenomics marks a paradigm shift in oncology by integrating molecular analysis with spatial information from both spatial proteomics and other data modalities (e.g., spatial transcriptomics), thereby unveiling tumor heterogeneity and dynamic changes in the microenvironment.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Immunomodulators for Cancer Immunotherapy: Insights Into Resistance and Therapeutic Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates the roles of novel immune checkpoints, immunomodulatory factors, cell death and multimodal technologies in cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer immunotherapy has redefined cancer treatment. However, the molecular and cellular basis of immune evasion and therapeutic resistance remains incompletely understood.

Social–ecological memory and responses to biodiversity change in a Bribri Community of Costa Rica

Ambio, 2019
Social-ecological memory (SEM) is an analytical construct used to consider the ways by which people can draw upon biological materials and social memory to reorganize following a disturbance. Since its introduction into the literature, there have been few cases that have considered its use.
