A Multispecies Interaction Design Approach: Introducing the Beings Activities Context Technologies (BACT) Framework

Multimodal Technologies and Interaction
For years, design has been focused on human needs, creating human-centred solutions and often neglecting the existence or the impact that design can have on other species.

The Mineral Composition of Wild-Type and Cultivated Varieties of Pasture Species

Agronomy, 2020
Mineral deficiencies in livestock are often prevented by using prophylactic supplementation, which is imprecise and inefficient. Instead, the trend for increased species diversity in swards is an opportunity to improve mineral concentrations in the basal

Forward Genetic Dissection of Biofilm Development by Fusobacterium nucleatum: Novel Functions of Cell Division Proteins FtsX and EnvC. [PDF]

, 2018
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a key member of the human oral biofilm. It is also implicated in preterm birth and colorectal cancer. To facilitate basic studies of fusobacterial virulence, we describe here a versatile transposon mutagenesis procedure and a ...

Rational Design of Inverted F‐Type Heterojunctions for Photocatalytic Emerging Contaminant Degradation

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The inverted F‐type ZnWO4/In2S3 heterojunction enables efficient charge separation and retention of strong oxidative capability through interfacial electric field regulation, leading to non‐toxic degradation of contaminants for sustainable water treatment.

Whole tissue imaging of cellular boundaries at sub‐micron resolutions for deep learning cell segmentation: Applications in the analysis of epithelial bending of ectoderm

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To understand cellular morphology, biologists have relied on traditional optical microscopy of tissues combined with tissue clearing protocols to image structures deep within tissues. Unfortunately, these protocols often struggle to retain cell boundary markers, especially at high enough resolutions necessary for precise cell ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Organizing in the Ruins: Contributions of Multispecies Approaches in Administration

RAC: Revista de Administração Contemporânea
Objective: this essay problematizes destructive organizational practices that produce and perpetuate spaces in ruins. Drawing from the practices of the mining industry in Brazil, exemplified by the rupture of the Fundão dam (MG), we theorize about the ...

Convergence in Multispecies Interactions [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016
The concepts of convergent evolution and community convergence highlight how selective pressures can shape unrelated organisms or communities in similar ways. We propose a related concept, convergent interactions, to describe the independent evolution of multispecies interactions with similar physiological or ecological functions. A focus on convergent

Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

KEC Course: Playing Multispecies in the Anthropocene

Parse Journal, 2022
This is a course description on how to work together and develop a game with the help of norm-critical pedagogy and feminist posthumanities. The course was first proposed by Linda Paxling and is revised by the KEC Board for Course Development to fulfil ...
