Functional landscape heterogeneity and animal biodiversity in agricultural landscapes

Ecology Letters, 2010
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 101–112AbstractBiodiversity in agricultural landscapes can be increased with conversion of some production lands into ‘more‐natural’– unmanaged or extensively managed – lands. However, it remains unknown to what extent biodiversity can be enhanced by altering landscape pattern without reducing agricultural production.

Chromosome territories – a functional nuclear landscape

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2006
Understanding nuclear architecture is indispensable for understanding the cell-type-dependent orchestration of active and silent genes and other nuclear functions, such as RNA splicing, DNA replication and repair. Yet, while it is now generally agreed that chromosomes in the cell nucleus are organized as chromosome territories, present models of ...

Mutational landscape of non-functional adrenocortical adenomas

Endocrine-Related Cancer, 2022
Adrenal incidentalomas are the most frequent human neoplasms. Recent genomic investigations on functional adrenocortical tumors have demonstrated that somatic mutations in PRKACA and KCNJ5 responsible for the development of adrenocortical adenomas (ACAs) are associated with hypercortisolism and aldosteronism, respectively.

Cultural Landscape Functions

2015
The utilization and transformation of the landscape by humans is aimed at providing them with suitable conditions of living and development. What enables the accomplishment of particular human objectives is relevant functions of the cultural landscape. The following ten functions have been distinguished and described: spatial (consists in providing man

Ecological Functions of Landscapes

Eurasian Soil Science, 2018
Ecological functions of landscapes are considered a system of processes ensuring the development, preservation, and evolution of ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole. The concept of biogeocenosis can be considered a model that integrates biotic and environmental functions.

Landscape Functions (Physiology)

2014
A landscape shows all the principal characters of any level of life organisation: structure, movement, reproduction, metastability, etc. So it owns a proper physiology: thus processes related to each character must be studied, giving a complex articulation of landscape dynamics emerges, never completely examined until now.

Spatial characterization of landscape functions

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2008
There is little information available on the spatial variation of landscape functions. We developed a methodological framework to map and quantify landscape functions depending on the availability of spatial information. In this framework three different methods were proposed (1) linking landscape functions to land cover or policy defined areas, (2 ...

Functional landscapes of the dominant hemisphere

Brain Research, 1976
There is abundant evidence that in non-anoxic brain tissue the blood flow is controlled mainly by the functional activity of the neurons. This enables the use of regional blood flow measurements for the localization and quantitation of events in the human brain which correlate to normal and abnormal mental activity.
