The restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on degraded seabed habitat
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 437-449, December 2022., 2022 Due to the artificial structures that accumulate mussels and exclude destructive fishing practices, the seabed could be restored by the installation of mussel farming structure. After four years, there was a significantly greater abundance of mobile taxa compared to the Controls that remained open to trawling. Commercial European lobster and brown crab

Ecological landscapes guide the assembly of optimal microbial communities [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Assembling optimal microbial communities is key for various applications in biofuel production, agriculture, and human health. Finding the optimal community is challenging because the number of possible communities grows exponentially with the number of species, and so an exhaustive search cannot be performed even for a dozen species.

Spatial Dynamics of Invasion: The Geometry of Introduced Species [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 233, 137 (2005), 2005 Many exotic species combine low probability of establishment at each introduction with rapid population growth once introduction does succeed. To analyze this phenomenon, we note that invaders often cluster spatially when rare, and consequently an introduced exotic's population dynamics should depend on locally structured interactions.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Optimizing maize–bean cropping systems for sustainable intensification in southern Ethiopia
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3283-3296, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Declining productivity and scarcity of cultivable land in smallholder systems call for exploring sustainable intensification options to increase productivity. Field experiments were conducted at five sites (Sites 1–5) of the Sidama region, southern Ethiopia, in 2018 and 2019 to determine the effects of cropping systems on maize (Zea mays L ...

Legacy forest structure increases bird diversity and abundance in aging young forests
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Many studies have demonstrated the importance of early‐successional forest habitat for breeding bird abundance, composition, and diversity. However, very few studies directly link measures of bird diversity, composition and abundance to measures of ...

Lack of ecological context can create the illusion of social success in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol 12(12): e1005246. 2016, 2016 Studies of cooperation in microbes often focus on one fitness component, with little information about or attention to the ecological context, and this can lead to paradoxical results. The life cycle of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum includes a multicellular stage in which not necessarily clonal amoebae aggregate upon starvation to form a ...
