Extracellular enzymatic activities of octocorals and scleractinian corals under environmental stress [PDF]
Extracellular enzymes, released by coral holobionts (coral host, symbiotic dinoflagellates and associated microorganisms) are involved in nutrient cycling and can serve as diagnostic indicators of coral health and reef ecosystem functionality.

Characterizing the plant functional traits of coffee agroecosystems in Indonesia [PDF]
Indonesia, the world’s third-largest coffee producer, is rapidly expanding coffee agroecosystems, often at the expense of deforestation. Understanding the ecophysiology of coffee agroecosystems is thus critical for assessing their impacts on the regional

Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors [PDF]
Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials.

An attempt to delineate rather than to precisely define what we mean by "ecophysiology" is based on a brief historical overview of what eventually led to development of instrumentation and sampling strategies for analyses that allow description of physiological performance in the field. These techniques are surveyed.

Ecophysiological adaptations of the lichen genera pseudocyphellaria and sticta to south temperate rainforests [PDF]
Temperate rainforests are a poorly researched habitat with respect to lichen ecophysiology in comparison to desert and polar regions. The evergreen, broadleaf forests provide a dim, moist environment that is relatively stable throughout the year. Lichens

The serotonin transporter gene and female personality variation in a free-living passerine
Quantifying variation in behaviour-related genes provides insight into the evolutionary potential of repeatable among-individual variation in behaviour (i.e. personality).

Serotonin transporter (SERT) polymorphisms, personality and problem-solving in urban great tits
Understanding underlying genetic variation can elucidate how diversity in behavioral phenotypes evolves and is maintained. Genes in the serotonergic signaling pathway, including the serotonin transporter gene (SERT), are candidates for affecting animal ...
