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.

Growth performance and element concentrations reveal the calcicole-calcifuge behavior of three Adiantum species

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background The calcicole or calcifuge behavior of wild plants has been related to element deficiency or toxicity. For fern species, however, knowledge about their adaptive differences and responses to soil environmental changes is virtually absent.

Selection of suitable reference genes in Paulownia fortunei (Seem.) Hemsl. under different tissues and abiotic stresses for qPCR normalization

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2023
By choosing appropriate candidate reference genes (CRGs) and standardizing qPCR data, more accurate experimental data can be obtained. Herein, the expression stability of alpha-tubulin1 (TUA1), beta-tubulin (TUB), beta-tubulin 1 (TUB1), beta-tubulin 5 ...

Habitat Selection and Behaviour of a Reintroduced Passerine: Linking Experimental Restoration, Behaviour and Habitat Ecology

, 2015
Habitat restoration can play an important role in recovering functioning ecosystems and improving biodiversity. Restoration may be particularly important in improving habitat prior to species reintroductions.

Symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae mediate coral-associated bacterial communities along a natural thermal gradient

Environmental Microbiome
The coral-associated microbiome plays a vital role in the holobiont, enabling coral adaptation to diverse environments by modulating its composition and mediating interactions among its constituents.

Common ground for biodiversity and ecosystem services: the “partial protection” challenge [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/QPrmmt]

F1000Research, 2012
New global initiatives require clarity about similarities and differences between biodiversity and ecosystem services. One argument is that ecosystem services capture utilitarian values, while biodiversity captures intrinsic values.

Using RIVPACS for studies on conservation and biodiversity [PDF]

, 2000
Invertebrate conservation relies not only on public support and political will, but also on possessing an adequate understanding of the distribution and ecology of invertebrate species and communities.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Cladonia lichens on extensive green roofs: evapotranspiration, substrate temperature, and albedo [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2ha]

F1000Research, 2013
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 ...
