Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology?

open access: yesMicrobiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2017
SUMMARY Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology.

Holistic Analysis of Material Properties in Phylogenetically Diverse Spider Silks and Their Influence on Cell Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Translation of recombinant spider silks as fillers for nerve guidance conduits in long‐segment nerve reconstruction demands a detailed examination of native counterparts. Thus, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the material properties of four phylogenetically diverse spider silks and their impact on Schwann cell adhesion, pinpointing key ...

Agro-ecology

open access: yesWorld Nutrition, 2015
The Amazon rain forest was, before the Europeans came, as cultivated as forests anywhere else in the world. It was not 'virgin'. The native people still living within the forest are remnants descended from highly structured societies with ...

Organic Permeable Base Transistors—Reliable Large‐Scale Anodization for High Frequency Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrochemical anodization is optimized for organic permeable base transistors (OPBTs), achieving an unprecedented 87% yield and reproducibility for vertical organic transistors (VOTs) on a 15 x 15 cm wafer. Controlled Al base oxidation ensures a median transconductance of 10−3 S, leakage current below 10−9 A, current gain of 106, and transit ...

Notes on some species of Ascochyta (Coelomycetes) new and rare for Poland

open access: yesActa Mycologica, 2014
Three species of Ascochyta (conidial fungi, Coelomycetes) are described in the paper. Ascochyta urticae A. L. Smith et Ramsbottom (on Urtica dioica L.) and Ascochyta phomoides Saccardo (on Aegopodium podagraria L.) are species new for Poland.

Multi‐Scaled Cellulosic Nanonetworks from Tunicates

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microbial and plant nanonetworks of cellulose have enabled a wide range of high‐performance yet sustainable materials. Herein, a third class of cellulosic nanonetworks is showcased by exploiting the only animal tissue‐producing cellulose nanofibers, i.e., ascidians. An ultrastructure including spherical cells and a microvasculature with diameters of 50–

Statistical mechanics unifies different ecological patterns [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
Recently there has been growing interest in the use of Maximum Relative Entropy (MaxREnt) as a tool for statistical inference in ecology. In contrast, here we propose MaxREnt as a tool for applying statistical mechanics to ecology. We use MaxREnt to explain and predict species abundance patterns in ecological communities in terms of the most probable ...
