Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Monoculture on the intellectual landscape: research performance evaluation
, 2010 The metaphor of 'monoculture on the intellectual landscape' is used to analyse the effects of large-scale research management regimes. The metaphor of 'monoculture on the intellectual landscape', derived from Shiva's 'monocultures of the mind', is ...

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities
Ecography, EarlyView.Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Stratégies des planteurs de cocotiers au Ghana face à la maladie du jaunissement mortel
Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2009 In Ghana, coconut developed extensively during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s in the coastal strip of the “Western” region. Subsequently, many coconut plantations disappeared as they were progressively affected by lethal yellowing disease.

Performance of orangefin labeo, Labeo calbasu (Hamilton 1822) as a component of polyculture system
Journal of Fisheries, 2014 This paper deals with the performance of Labeo calbasu (Hamilton, 1822) as a component of conventional composite carp culture system. The species was included as 50% substitution to common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in view of its omnivorous feeding habit ...

Response of soil microbiome to cover crop and sugarcane monoculture
, 2019 Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) yield decline results from long-term monoculture practices. Changes in cropping management (e.g. the use of cover crops) can improve soil health and productivity.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.
