Deep Learning‐Driven Discovery and Engineering of an Efficient PETase for Depolymerization and Detoxification of PET Microplastics Under Physiological Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep learning–driven pipeline mining 246 million protein sequences uncovers AhPETase, an evolutionarily distinct PET hydrolase. Engineered variant AhPETaseM1 degrades post‐consumer PET microplastics under physiological conditions and reverses microplasticinduced cytotoxicity in human lung and colon cells, establishing enzymatic microplastic ...

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Convergence of Plasmid‐Mediated tmexCD‐toprJ With Critical Resistance Genes Fuels Spread of Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Global dissemination of tmexCD‐toprJ across bacterial hosts and ecological niches is accompanied by its convergence with blaKPC, blaNDM, and mcr on mobile plasmids. Recombination and acquisition of resistance modules generate distinct multidrug resistant plasmid architectures, facilitating the emergence and spread of high‐risk bacterial populations ...

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

The identity crisis of ecological diversity

Ecological Applications, 2021
AbstractDeveloping the ecological scientist mindset among underrepresented students in ecology fields(Bowser and Cid, this Forum) provides timely and compelling strategies to broaden inclusion in ecology and environmental biology. Chronic underrepresentation of minorities in ecology and environmental disciplines (EE) is a crisis that is surprising to ...

Ecological crisis

2023
2021 marks a year in which the world is still reeling from the health and economic crises triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also a year of the 15th COP Biodiversity Summit. Both point to the intertwined relationships within a global socio-ecological crisis.

ECOLOGIC CRISIS AND ECONOMIC CRISIS. IS IT A COINCIDENCE? [PDF]

open access: possibleRomanian Economic and Business Review, 2011
We constantly speak about the crisis, a phenomenon which characterizes both the individual and the society. The individual is always in a crisis of time,inspiration etc. In turn, society undergoes periods of ecologic, economic, financial,social, political crisis.

Japan's Ecological Crisis

The Geographical Journal, 1975
Part I of this paper begins by examining the significance of the ecologist's concept of the climax to social and economic geography. Some views of Sauer, Hutchinson and Malthus are noted, and it is suggested that present-day Japan may represent the nearest approach yet seen to the human-ecological climax situation.
