Macrosystems revisited: challenges and successes in a new subdiscipline of ecology
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 4-10, February 2021., 2021 Macrosystems biology research has expanded and evolved over the past decade as the scientific community grapples with ecological issues at regional to continental scales relevant to human interactions within the biosphere. Macrosystems biology builds on established fields of study like population and community ecology, biogeography, and global ...

The evolution of macrosystems biology
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 11-19, February 2021., 2021 In an era of unprecedented human impacts on the planet, macrosystems biology (MSB) was developed to understand ecological patterns and processes within and across spatial and temporal scales. We used machine‐learning and qualitative literature review approaches to evaluate the thematic composition of MSB from articles published since the 2010 creation ...

Macrosystems as metacoupled human and natural systems
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 20-29, February 2021., 2021 Macrosystems are integrated human–natural systems, in recognition of the fact that virtually every natural system on Earth influences and is influenced by human activities, even over long distances. It is therefore crucial to incorporate inherent properties of broad‐scale systems, such as human–nature connectivity and feedbacks at multi‐scales, into ...

Multi‐scale biodiversity drives temporal variability in macrosystems
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 47-56, February 2021., 2021 High temporal variability in environmental conditions, populations, and ecological communities can result in species extinctions and outbreaks of agricultural pests and disease vectors, as well as impact industries dependent on reliable provisioning of ecosystem services. Yet few empirical studies have focused on testing hypotheses about the drivers of

2D materials integrated with metallic nanostructures: fundamentals and optoelectronic applications
Nanophotonics, Volume 9, Issue 7, Page 1877-1900, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Due to their novel electronic and optical properties, atomically thin layered two‐dimensional (2D) materials are becoming promising to realize novel functional optoelectronic devices including photodetectors, modulators, and lasers. However, light–matter interactions in 2D materials are often weak because of the atomic‐scale thickness, thus ...

Protective and Antioxidant Effects of a Chalconoid from Pulicaria incisa on Brain Astrocytes
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson′s and Alzheimer′s diseases. Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the brain, protect neurons from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and provide them with trophic support, such as glial‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).
