Rediscovery of the Microbial World in Microbial Ecology
Microbes and Environments, 2013 Recent progress in microbial ecology is allowing for the new discovery of the vast, poorly-characterized microbial world. The following four topics are intensively highlighted as perspectives we can use to look into the novel microbial world in nature; unexplored habitats, unexpected microbial diversity/function, microbial community including ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Anaerobes thrive in the absence of oxygen and are an untapped reservoir of biotechnological potential. Therefore, bioprospecting efforts focused on anaerobic microbial diversity could rapidly uncover new enzymes, pathways, and chassis organisms to drive biotechnology innovation.

Microbial Ecology of Urban Sewers [PDF]
, 2022 Municipal sewage provides a glimpse into the health and activities of a human society. For more than a century, sewage exploration has helped expose the sources of disease outbreaks and track disease progression over time.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study explores social immunity in gregarious locusts using a groundbreaking animal–robot–pathogen interaction model. By comparing locust responses to biomimetic agents mimicking healthy and infected individuals, significant behavioral changes are revealed.

Soil biome variation of Lupinus nipomensis in wet‐cool vs. dry‐warm microhabitats and greenhouse
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Environmental DNA (eDNA) can be used to determine the composition of the soil biome community, revealing beneficial and antagonistic microbes and invertebrates associated with plants. eDNA analyses can complement traditional soil community studies, offering more comprehensive information for conservation practitioners. Studies are also

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We use the Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model to examine responses of 12 ecosystems to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and 20% decreases or increases in precipitation. Ecosystems respond synergistically to elevated CO2, warming, and decreased precipitation combined because higher water‐use efficiency with elevated CO2 and higher ...

Urban biotic homogenization: Approaches and knowledge gaps
Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Urbanization is restructuring ecosystems at an unprecedented pace, with complex and profound consequences for life on Earth. One of the hypothesized trajectories of urban ecosystems and species communities is biotic homogenization, possibly leading to very similar species assemblages in cities across the globe.

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The outcomes of species interactions can vary greatly in time and space with the outcomes of some interactions determined by priority effects. On coral reefs, benthic algae rapidly colonize disturbed substrate. In the absence of top‐down control from herbivorous fishes, these algae can inhibit the recruitment of reef‐building corals, leading ...
