Functional ecology of bacteriophages in the environment

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023
Bacteriophages are as ubiquitous as their bacterial hosts and often more abundant. Understanding how bacteriophages control their bacterial host populations requires a number of different approaches. Bacteriophages can control bacterial populations through lysis, drive evolution of bacterial immunity systems through infection, provide a conduit for ...

Asian elephants as ecological filters in Sundaic forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Megaherbivores exert strong top-down influence on the ecosystems they inhabit, yet little is known about the foraging impacts of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) on the structure of Southeast Asia’s rainforests. Our goal was to document Asian elephants’

A social-ecological approach to conservation planning: embedding social considerations [PDF]

, 2013
Many conservation plans remain unimplemented, in part because of insufficient consideration of the social processes that influence conservation decisions. Complementing social considerations with an integrated understanding of the ecology of a region can

Advances in the Effects of Biochar on Microbial Ecological Function in Soil and Crop Quality

Sustainability, 2022
Biochar, a late-model environmental functional material, has been widely applied in environmental remediation, agricultural production, and energy utilization due to its excellent characteristics such as porosity and high specific surface area. In recent

Predation Pressure on Sentinel Insect Prey along a Riverside Urbanization Gradient in Hungary

Insects, 2020
Urbanization is one of the most important global trends which causes habitat reduction and alteration which are, in turn, the main reasons for the well-documented reduction in structural and functional diversity in urbanized environments.

Stormwater wetlands can function as ecological traps for urban frogs [PDF]

, 2018
Around cities, natural wetlands are rapidly being destroyed and replaced with wetlands constructed to treat stormwater. Although the intended purpose of these wetlands is to manage urban stormwater, they are inhabited by wildlife that might be exposed to

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 ...
