Nature Protection as a Strategy? Strategic Objectives and Dynamic Capabilities in Corporate Biodiversity Management

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines why and how firms address biodiversity loss. Using a multiple case study of 10 large food and agriculture firms, we analyze 35 interviews and secondary data to show that firms pursue strategic objectives through biodiversity management beyond compliance or philanthropy.

Single-cell genomics of multiple uncultured stramenopiles reveals underestimated functional diversity across oceans

Nature Communications, 2018
The biology of many marine protists, such as stramenopiles, remains obscure. Here, the authors exploit single-cell genomics and metagenomics to analyze the genome content and apparent oceanic distribution of seven prevalent lineages of uncultured ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Phosphorus availability shapes size structure, co-occurrence patterns and network stability of surface microeukaryotic plankton communities in an urbanized estuarine ecosystem

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The size structure of microeukaryotic plankton communities exerts a fundamental control on marine ecosystem functions, such as food web dynamics and element flows. The global expansion of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrient pollutants into estuaries

Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.

Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Sources connues et potentielles de DHA pour les besoins de l’homme

Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2007
This paper focuses on the production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 n-3), a major ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with applications in foods and pharmaceuticals. Fish oils are currently the main source of PUFA including EPA and DHA.
