Linking community and disease ecology: the impact of biodiversity on pathogen transmission [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 Abstract The increasing number of zoonotic diseases spilling over from a range of wild animal species represents a particular concern for public health, especially in light of the current dramatic trend of biodiversity loss. To understand the ecology of these multi-host pathogens and their response to environmental degradation and ...

Phylogenetic community ecology of soil biodiversity using mitochondrial metagenomics [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2015 AbstractHigh‐throughput DNA methods hold great promise for the study of taxonomically intractable mesofauna of the soil. Here, we assess species diversity and community structure in a phylogenetic framework, by sequencing total DNA from bulk specimen samples and assembly of mitochondrial genomes.

Abstract Species richness and species diversity are classic concepts in ecology. What is new in the science of biodiversity after the Convention on Biological Diversity is: (1) that the emphasis has moved from the species to the ecosystem; (2) that the functional significance of biodiversity has been stressed.

Biodiversity and persistence of ecological communities in variable environments
Ecological Complexity, 2008Abstract Recent analyses of climate data indicate that the intensity and frequency of different weather extremes have increased. Such increased environmental variability may lead to increased species extinction rates and hence have important consequences for the long-term persistence of ecological communities.

Parasite community ecology and biodiversity
2002Abstract A wild-animal population is typically host to a whole community of parasites of different species. These parasite species may be sufficiently independent that their population dynamics can be investigated individually. In reality it would be more usual for multiple species to interact such that the presence of any one species ...

Network science in ecology: the structure of ecological communities and the biodiversity question
2012The study of networks in ecology is rapidly expanding. Although network thinking is by no means new to ecologists, cross-fertilization from other fields, ranging from computer science to sociology, has recently furthered the field significantly. Here we examine some of the applications of network science to ecology with an emphasis on its potential to ...

AbstractEcosystems are often exposed to mixtures of chemical contaminants, but the scientific community lacks a theoretical framework to predict the effects of mixtures on biodiversity and ecosystem properties. We conducted a freshwater mesocosm experiment to examine the effects of pairwise agrochemical mixtures [fertiliser, herbicide (atrazine ...

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2010
Today's scientists are facing the enormous challenge of predicting how climate change will affect species distributions and species assemblages. To do so, ecologists are widely using phenomenological models of species distributions that mainly rely on the concept of species niche and generally ignore species' demography, species' adaptive potential ...

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2013
The Italian spirit obtained from grape marc, grappa, is produced by an extended storage of the marc which allows alcoholic fermentation. Bacterial populations can develop and are associated with off-flavour production. Grape marc acidification before storage is a common practice in distilleries to control bacterial proliferation.

From time immemorial, local and indigenous communities in India have developed traditions, representations, and beliefs about the forest and biodiversity. The cultural practices and beliefs of a community play a significant role in enhancing community-based initiatives, particularly in achieving sustainability in the long term.
