Functional Ecology of Forest Disease
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2020Global change is pressing forest pathologists to solve increasingly complex problems. We argue that understanding interactive effects between forest pathogens and global warming, globalization, and land-use changes may benefit from a functional ecology mindset.

Health Is a Function of Ecology
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1971There are numerous ways of classifying illness, such as by etiology, manifestations or treatment. Likewise, there are a variety of ways in which health factors can be classified. The following are a few of the classifications of health factors: external-internal milieu; genotypicphenotypic factors and mechanisms; psychologic-biologic or psychosomatic ...

Complementarity of Ecological Goal Functions
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2001This paper summarizes, in the framework of network environ analysis, a set of analyses of energy-matter flow and storage in steady-state systems. The network perspective is used to codify and unify ten ecological orientors or extremal principles: maximum power (Lotka), maximum storage (Jørgensen-Mejer), maximum empower and emergy (Odum), maximum ...

Evolutionary and ecological functional genomics
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2003A unique combination of disciplines is emerging--evolutionary and ecological functional genomics--which focuses on the genes that affect ecological success and evolutionary fitness in natural environments and populations. Already this approach has provided new insights that were not available from its disciplinary components in isolation.

The study of function in behavioural ecology
Animal Biology, 2005AbstractIn 1963, a landmark paper by Niko Tinbergen laid out the aims and methods of ethology and, in so doing, extended and clarified Julian Huxley's classification of the different ways in which one can investigate biological processes. I discuss the status of one of these "four Why questions", that of function or survival value, and the relationship

Functional ecology's non-selectionist understanding of function
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 2018This paper reinforces the current consensus against the applicability of the selected effect theory of function in ecology. It does so by presenting an argument which, in contrast with the usual argument invoked in support of this consensus, is not based on claims about whether ecosystems are customary units of natural selection.

Ecological Functions of Landscapes
Eurasian Soil Science, 2018Ecological 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.

Functionalizing ecological integrity: using functional ecology to monitor animal communities
Frontiers in Ecology and the EnvironmentEcological integrity—the degree to which an ecosystem supports ecological structure, composition, diversity, function, and connectivity typical of natural conditions—has been a guiding principle in ecosystem monitoring around the world. However, in terrestrial ecosystems, integrity‐based monitoring often excludes animal communities, even though they ...

Functions in Ecosystem Ecology
Philosophical Topics, 2019In this essay, I argue that the selected effects approach to ecosystem functions is inadequate and defend the adequacy of the systemic capacity account. I additionally argue that rival persistence enhancing and organizational approaches face serious problems when applied to ecosystem ecology. Lastly, I explore how the systemic capacity approach applies
