MicrobeDiscover: A Knowledge Graph–Enabled AI Framework for Identifying Microbes for Inorganic Nanomaterial Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbial synthesis of nanomaterials (NMs) is eco‐friendly, but the screening of microorganisms is limited by inefficient traditional methods (currently only involving∽400 microorganisms/90 NMs). We propose AI framework MicrobeDiscover, integrating a knowledge graph of microbe‐NM interactions.

Short-term responses of ground-dwelling arthropod communities to habitat loss and fragmentation in experimental mesoscale landscapes

Scientific Reports
Habitat loss and fragmentation are main drivers of biodiversity decline. However, disentangling their respective effects remains tricky and contrasting results have emerged in previous studies leading to a call for finely designed landscape-scale ...

The effect of habitat fragmentation on Malay tapir abundances in Thailand’s protected areas

Global Ecology and Conservation
Habitat loss and fragmentation in tropical regions are major threats to the persistence of endangered Malay tapir (Tapirus indicus). The Malay tapir distribution is largely constrained to fragmented habitats inside protected areas. However, it is unclear

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

The use of fynbos fragments by birds: Stepping-stone habitats and resource refugia

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2016
Fynbos habitats are threatened by fragmentation through land use and anthropogenic changes in fire regimes, leading to a loss of suitable habitat for birds.

Optimal resource allocation to survival and reproduction in parasitic wasps foraging in fragmented habitats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Expansion and intensification of human land use represents the major cause of habitat fragmentation. Such fragmentation can have dramatic consequences on species richness and trophic interactions within food webs.

Shipping Through Sea Ice: Impacts on Marine Habitats and Best Practices [PDF]

, 2017
As the result of Arctic climate change and an increase in shipping season length, there is a growing interest in Arctic shipping operations. Sea ice serves as an important habitat for marine mammals, therefore, shipping through sea ice could lead to ...

Inter-patch movement in an experimental system: the effects of life history and the environment [PDF]

, 2013
An important process for the persistence of populations subjected to habitat loss and fragmentation is the dispersal of individuals between habitat patches.

Programmable Semi‐Interpenetrating Living Materials With Robust Stability for Versatile Bioremediation and Biotherapeutics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A semi‐interpenetrating engineered living material (sIHSELM), fabricated via thermosensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan and covalent protein self‐assembly, demonstrates exceptional mechanical properties and environmental stability. Shielding bacteria from harsh conditions, sIHSELM exhibits remarkable efficacy in ulcerative colitis treatment and pollutants ...

Complex Measures of Habitat Fragmentation and Edge Can Complicate Biodiversity Conservation

Conservation Letters
Understanding habitat fragmentation effects on wildlife is critical to promoting effective conservation practices. There are many metrics of habitat fragmentation, from simple (number of habitat patches) to complex metrics designed to summarize many ...
