Digital Ecosystems: Ecosystem-Oriented Architectures [PDF]
Natural Computing, 2011 We view Digital Ecosystems to be the digital counterparts of biological ecosystems. Here, we are concerned with the creation of these Digital Ecosystems, exploiting the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems to evolve high-level software applications.

Organisms as Ecosystems/Ecosystems as Organisms [PDF]
Biological Theory, 2014 It is well known that most organisms are composed of smaller subunits, including not only cells and semi-independent organelles but often also a whole suite of parasites, commensal organisms, and other symbionts (Buss 1987; Margulis 1970; Bouchard and Huneman 2013).

Ecological Complexity, 2017 We show how a dynamical system given by a t-score function for some class of monotonic data transformations generates consistent extreme value estimators. The variation of their values increases the uncertainty of proper assessment of climate change. Two important examples illustrate the methodology: mass balance measurements on Guanaco glacier, Chile,

Strong fisheries management and governance positively impact ecosystem status [PDF]
, 2016 Fisheries have had major negative impacts on marine ecosystems, and effective fisheries management and governance are needed to achieve sustainable fisheries, biodiversity conservation goals and thus good ecosystem status. To date, the IndiSeas programme

Ecosystem-based management and the wealth of ecosystems [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 SignificanceEcosystems store vast quantities of wealth, but difficulties measuring wealth held in ecosystems prevent its inclusion in accounting systems. Ecosystem-based management endeavors to manage ecosystems holistically. However, ecosystem-based management lacks headline indicators to evaluate performance.

Asymmetric warming significantly affects net primary production, but not ecosystem carbon balances of forest and grassland ecosystems in northern China [PDF]
, 2015 We combine the process-based ecosystem model (Biome-BGC) with climate change-scenarios based on both RegCM3 model outputs and historic observed trends to quantify differential effects of symmetric and asymmetric warming on ecosystem net primary ...
