Mussels and Local Conditions Interact to Influence Microbial Communities in Mussel Beds
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Microbiomes are increasingly recognized as widespread regulators of function from individual organism to ecosystem scales. However, the manner in which animals influence the structure and function of environmental microbiomes has received considerably ...

Fish extinctions and ecosystem functioning in tropical ecosystems [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 The activities of modern humans have increased the extinction rate of the world's species by up to 1,000 times that observed from the fossil record (1). This extinction crisis has motivated the scientific community to understand the consequences of reduced biodiversity for the dynamics of ecosystems, especially those that provide basic services to ...

Periphyton Function in Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2002 Periphyton communities have received relatively little attention in lake ecosystems. However, evidence is increasing that they play a key role in primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and food web interactions. This review summarizes those findings and places them in a conceptual framework to evaluate the functional importance of periphyton in lakes.

Urban Landscapes and Sustainable Cities
Ecology and Society, 2006 Ecological research targeting sustainable urban landscapes needs to include findings and methods from many lines of ecological research, such as the link between biodiversity and ecosystem function, the role of humans in ecosystems, landscape ...

Scale Mismatches in Social-Ecological Systems: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions
Ecology and Society, 2006 Scale is a concept that transcends disciplinary boundaries. In ecology and geography, scale is usually defined in terms of spatial and temporal dimensions.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
