Microbiome interactions and their ecological implications at the Salton Sea

California Agriculture, 2022
Although the Salton Sea was once a thriving destination for humans and wildlife, it has now degraded to the point of ecosystem collapse. Increases in local dust emissions have introduced aeolian (wind-blown) microorganisms that travel, along with ...

Disentangling the effects of geographic and ecological isolation on genetic differentiation [PDF]

, 2013
Populations can be genetically isolated both by geographic distance and by differences in their ecology or environment that decrease the rate of successful migration.

Analysis of Ecological Blockage Pattern in Beijing Important Ecological Function Area, China

Remote Sensing, 2022
With the implementation of human activities, such as logging, reclamation, and construction, the increasing fragmentation of ecological space and the increasing blockage of biological migration corridors cause many threats to biodiversity conservation ...

Resistance and resilience of social–ecological systems to recurrent typhoon disturbance on a subtropical island: Taiwan [PDF]

, 2018
Tropical cyclones (TCs) have major effects on ecological and social systems. However, studies integrating the effects of TCs on both social and ecological systems are rare, especially in the northwest Pacific, where the frequency of TCs (locally named ...

Recent Advances in the Emission and Functions of Plant Vegetative Volatiles

Molecules, 2016
Plants synthesize and emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds, which possess extremely important ecological functions. In most case, most plant volatiles are liquids, rather than gases, at room temperature.

Maximum power, ecological function and efficiency of an irreversible Carnot cycle. A cost and effectiveness optimization [PDF]

, 2007
In this work we include, for the Carnot cycle, irreversibilities of linear finite rate of heat transferences between the heat engine and its reservoirs, heat leak between the reservoirs and internal dissipations of the working fluid. A first optimization

Threats Posed to the Rediscovered and Rare Salvia ceratophylloides Ard. (Lamiaceae) by Borer and Seed Feeder Insect Species

Diversity, 2021
The effects of herbivorous insects on a plant population are not always well tolerated. This is especially true if the herbivorous actions are directed toward rare plant species. Salvia ceratophylloides Ard.

Medusan Morphospace: Phylogenetic Constraints, Biomechanical Solutions, and Ecological Consequences [PDF]

, 2008
Medusae were the earliest animals to evolve muscle-powered swimming in the seas. Although medusae have achieved diverse and prominent ecological roles throughout the world\u27s oceans, we argue that the primitive organization of cnidarian muscle tissue ...

The Delineation and Ecological Connectivity of the Three Parallel Rivers Natural World Heritage Site

Biology, 2022
Landscape connectivity refers to the degree of continuity between the spatially structured units of a landscape. Ecological connectivity can characterise the degree to which ecological functional areas are connected in terms of function and ecological ...
