Ecological conservation and the restoration of freshwater environments in Korea [PDF]

Paddy and Water Environment, 2014
Freshwater ecosystems worldwide are subjected to a variety of anthropogenic threats (Malmqvist and Rundle 2002). Inappropriate land use practices, pollutants, overexploitation, and overpopulation have simplified/fragmented aquatic habitats and degraded biodiversity and water quality.

Cladonia lichens on extensive green roofs: evapotranspiration, substrate temperature, and albedo [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2v4]

F1000Research, 2014
Green roofs are constructed ecosystems that provide ecosystem services in urban environments. Shallow substrate green roofs subject the vegetation layer to desiccation and other environmental extremes, so researchers have evaluated a variety of stress ...

Heterotrophy Confers Corals with Resistance but Limits Their Range Expansion: A Case of Marginal Coral Communities

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability
Climate change may threaten the survival of corals due to ocean warming and increased occurrence of extreme weather events. Yet, marginal coral communities demonstrate remarkable adaptability, largely due to stress-tolerant species.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
