Can avian functional traits predict cultural ecosystem services?

People and Nature, 2020
The functional trait diversity of species assemblages can predict the provision of ecosystem services such as pollination and carbon sequestration, but it is unclear whether the same trait‐based framework can be applied to identify the factors that ...

Uncoupling Type I Interferon Benefits From Inflammatory Toxicity: Transformer‐Prioritized Precision Agonists for Potent and Safer Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Transformer‐based AI framework, DLINP, screens millions of compounds to identify Co68, a cobalt‐pincer organometallic complex that biases TLR4‐MD2 signaling toward antitumor interferon activation while suppressing inflammatory toxicity through an early TLR4‐SYK‐STAT1 axis.

A mixed method evaluation of ecosystem services and services-to-ecosystems illuminates culturally important trees in a settled landscape

Ecosystems and People
Biodiversity loss can lead to losses in ecological functions, ecosystem services, and cultural values. Yet, literature that empirically relates species’ ecological and cultural importance is scarce.

Using visual stimuli to explore the social perceptions of ecosystem services in cultural landscapes: the case of transhumance in Mediterranean Spain

Ecology and Society, 2014
The ecosystem services approach has been proposed as a powerful tool for the analysis of coupled social-ecological systems. This approach is particularly useful for the evaluation of cultural landscapes, which represent the joint evolution of humans and ...

The importance and the effectiveness of cultural ecosystem services provided by parks in the city of Kyiv during the war in Ukraine

Ukrainian Journal of Forest and Wood Science, 2023
In Ukraine, during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, rapid economic and social changes took place, the war caused a massive reduction and destruction of cities, and the environmental situation worsened due to which the cultural services of the ...

Ecosystem services in theory and practice

, 2020
The ecosystems of the world generate processes that provide values to human well-being. Thus, these systems function as a kind of natural capital, in that they are a stock that yields a flow of services over time.

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

Oral Actinomyces Species Exposure is Associated with Anxiety‐Like Behavior, Mitochondrial Remodeling, and Altered GABAergic Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral exposure to cannabis‐associated Actinomyces species, particularly A. meyeri, is associated with anxiety‐like behavior in mice in the absence of detectable bacterial translocation or overt systemic inflammation. These findings support a potential oral‐brain metabolic axis involving candidate metabolites such as arginine and argininosuccinate ...

Cultural Ecosystem Services and the Challenge for Cultural Geography [PDF]

Geography Compass, 2014
Abstract Cultural ecosystem services are one of four services identified by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment as critical to the support of human life on earth and therefore in need of proper valuation and protection. Cultural services seem to embody the objects of enquiry for cultural geographers interested in landscape, identity ...
