Ecology Meets Integral Ecology Meets Media Ecology
The Journal of Communication and Religion, 2021Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home has struck a deep chord with a broad audience. We explore the synergy between the ethical vision of sustainability in the Earth Charter and the encyclical. We position the document within the ecology and media landscapes.

Integrating ecology into biotechnology
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2007New high-throughput culture-independent molecular tools are allowing the scientific community to characterize and understand the microbial communities underpinning environmental biotechnology processes in unprecedented ways. By creatively leveraging these new data sources, microbial ecology has the potential to transition from a purely descriptive to a

Ecology and Integrated Pest Management
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1994The struggle to control populations of organisms that feed on agricultural crops, livestock, and directly on humans is as old as recorded history, and will continue into the perceivable future. Only 30 years ago, the availability of relatively cheap and highly effective synthetic organic pesticides was thought to be the ultimate solution to pest ...

Sleep Ecophysiology: Integrating Neuroscience and Ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016Here, we propose an original approach to explain one of the great unresolved questions in animal biology: what is the function of sleep? Existing ecological and neurological approaches to this question have become roadblocks to an answer. Ecologists typically treat sleep as a simple behavior, instead of a heterogeneous neurophysiological state, while ...

Beyond Positivist Ecology: Toward an Integrated Ecological Ethics
Science and Engineering Ethics, 2008A post-positivist understanding of ecological science and the call for an "ecological ethic" indicate the need for a radically new approach to evaluating environmental change. The positivist view of science cannot capture the essence of environmental sciences because the recent work of "reflexive" ecological modelers shows that this requires a ...

Indicators of Ecological Integrity
2018Freshwater Ecological Integrity (EI) incorporates the concepts of ecosystem “health”, unimpaired structure, composition and function and a capacity for self-renewal and, as such, it is a holistic advance over standard water quality metrics for assessing lake condition.

Biosciences and Ecological Integrity
BioScience, 1991P icture a biologist holding up a test tube cloudy with suspended cells. Is this image cause for alarm? How about other biologists manipulating colorful patterns on a computer screen, examining newly sprouted plants in a greenhouse, or identifying grasses in a field?

Hard Ecology, Soft Ecology, and Ecosystem Integrity
1995What you take as your starting point depends on where you want to go. If you want to sail due south to the Dry Tortugas, then you start with plenty of fresh water, some food, a good navigational system, and arguably a ship-to-shore radio for the long trip. But if you want to sail due west to nearby John’s Pass, then you might need some fresh water, but

Biocentrism and Ecological Integrity
1998It is difficult to be a biocentrist these days with all the criticism that has come their way. First of all, biocentrists are criticized for failing to state their view in such a way that it is not biased in favor of the human species.1 Secondly, they are criticized for following Ado Leopold and basing their view on an ecology that regards ecosystems ...
