The introduction of an invasive weed was not followed by the introduction of ethnobotanical knowledge: a review on the ethnobotany of Centaurea solstitialis L. (Asteraceae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Invasive plants are known for their impacts to ecosystems and societies, but their potential cultural use tend to be unexplored. One important mechanism of plant invasion is the use of “allelochemicals” or “novel weapons”: chemical defenses which are new

Autofluorescence Is a Common Trait in Different Oceanic Fungi
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Natural autofluorescence is a widespread phenomenon observed in different types of tissues and organisms. Depending on the origin of the autofluorescence, its intensity can provide insights on the physiological state of an organism.

Nutritional ecology, functional ecology and Functional Ecology [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2009 ‘Nutritional ecology’ is a bit like ‘art’: easy to recognize but difficult to define. We believe that this is, in part, because the field has progressed on a broad (even diffuse) front, and has lacked cohesion or commonality of purpose. Our aim in this special feature is to bring together leading researchers drawn from across this spectrum and have ...

Phylogeny and Metabolic Potential of the Candidate Phylum SAR324
Biology, 2022 The bacterial SAR324 cluster is ubiquitous and abundant in the ocean, especially around hydrothermal vents and in the deep sea, where it can account for up to 30% of the whole bacterial community.

SOCIOECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE LITHOSPHERE [PDF]
Economy of Region, 2010 Interaction of the lithosphere and the biosphere with a view of socioeconomic activity by a human being has the most complete effect in the process of mineral resource utilization. It is typical of mining and metal production complexes (MMC) of the Ural, which are basic for the regional economy.

Potential and expression of carbohydrate utilization by marine fungi in the global ocean
Microbiome, 2021 Background Most of the research on the cycling of carbon in the open-ocean has focused on heterotrophic prokaryotes and eukaryotic phytoplankton, but the role of pelagic fungi remains largely enigmatic.

Functional ecology of bacteriophages in the environment
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023 Bacteriophages are as ubiquitous as their bacterial hosts and often more abundant. Understanding how bacteriophages control their bacterial host populations requires a number of different approaches. Bacteriophages can control bacterial populations through lysis, drive evolution of bacterial immunity systems through infection, provide a conduit for ...
