Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of freeze–thaw erosion intensity in the high-cold mountainous areas of Northwestern Yunnan from 2017 to 2023

Scientific Reports
Freeze–thaw erosion is a prevalent surface process in cold regions, driven by the cyclic freezing and thawing of soil and rock. This process results in land degradation, soil erosion, and a range of ecological and environmental challenges, posing ...

Synergetic Relay Between Atomic Hydrogen and Chlorine Radicals Enables Efficient Nitrate‐to‐Nitrogen Gas Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using photoelectrochemical (PEC) deep denitrification technology, a novel synergistic reduction‐oxidation process enables efficient conversion of nitrate (NO3−) to nitrogen (N2), while suppressing key intermediate ammonium (NH4+) and toxic nitrite (NO2−) accumulation.

Ecological Risk Assessment and Ecological Security Pattern Optimization in Binzhou City

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
In this research, we created an assessment model based on ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity (EC) to detect the trend of urbanization in Binzhou city. In this model, we utilized four new indicators based on EF and EC by adding economic and social dimensions and categorized six types of ecological footprints into three main kinds of ...

Abundant Species Govern the Altitude Patterns of Bacterial Community in Natural and Disturbed Subalpine Forest Soils

Diversity
Abundant and rare bacteria exhibit unequal responses to environmental changes and disturbances, potentially resulting in differential contributions to the altitudinal characteristics of total community in natural and disturbed soils.

A Statistical Mechanics Model to Decode Tissue Crosstalk During Graft Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a statistical mechanics framework to decode the genomic crosstalk governing plant grafting. By integrating evolutionary game theory with transcriptomics, we reconstruct idopNetworks (informative, dynamic, omnidirectional, and personalized networks) that map scion–rootstock interactions.

How innovation systems emerge to solve ecological problems: Biofuels in the United States and Brazil [PDF]

, 2010
This paper discusses the re-emergence of biofuel innovation systems in the United States and Brazil. We argue that innovation systems emerge and evolve to solve a problem, and that the way the problem is framed and articulated has a significant impact on
