Behavior change interventions: the potential of ontologies for advancing science and practice [PDF]

, 2016
A central goal of behavioral medicine is the creation of evidence-based interventions for promoting behavior change. Scientific knowledge about behavior change could be more effectively accumulated using "ontologies." In information science, an ontology ...

Sub-surface Biogeochemical Characteristics and Its Effect on Arsenic Cycling in the Holocene Gray Sand Aquifers of the Lower Bengal Basin

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2017
High arsenic (As) content in the fertile delta plains of West Bengal has been widely reported since the 1990s. The shallow gray sand aquifers (GSA) deposited during the Holocene, are more commonly used as potable water sources, but they have high As ...

The Warps and Wefts of a Polyploidy Complex: Integrative Species Delimitation of the Diploid Leucanthemum (Compositae, Anthemideae) Representatives

Plants, 2022
Species delimitation—owing to the paramount role of the species rank in evolutionary, ecological, and nature conservation studies—is an essential contribution of taxonomy to biodiversity research.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

The economic, agricultural, and food security repercussions of a wild pollinator collapse in Europe

Nature Communications
Biodiversity conservation policies often face resistance, yet the global agri-food system’s vulnerability to ecosystem service declines, such as wild pollinator losses, remains poorly understood.

Microniche shape phytoplankton community structure in inter-connecting creeks within a mangrove ecosystem

Global Ecology and Conservation
Globally mangroves constitute an important coastal biotope and aquatic production is largely driven by phytoplankton communities within this ecosystem. Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve is a part of Sundarbans mangrove forest, the world’s largest contiguous ...

Improving Taxonomic Delimitation of Fungal Species in the Age of Genomics and Phenomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Species concepts have long provided a source of debate among biologists. These lively debates have been important for reaching consensus on how to communicate across scientific disciplines and for advancing innovative strategies to study evolution ...

Evolution of microgastropods (Ellobioidea, Carychiidae): integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and evolutionary hypotheses [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Current biodiversity patterns are considered largely the result of past climatic and tectonic changes. In an integrative approach, we combine taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses to analyze temporal and geographic diversification of epigean (
