Interplay between particle size and microbial ecology in the gut microbiome [PDF]
The ISME JournalAbstract Physical particles can serve as critical abiotic factors that structure the ecology of microbial communities. For non-human vertebrate gut microbiomes, fecal particle size (FPS) has been known to be shaped by chewing efficiency and diet. However, little is known about what drives FPS in the human gut. Here, we analyzed FPS by

Particle motion: the missing link in underwater acoustic ecology [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Summary Sound waves in water have both a pressure and a particle‐motion component, yet few studies of underwater acoustic ecology have measured the particle‐motion component of sound. While mammal hearing is based on detection of sound pressure, fish and invertebrates (i.e. most aquatic animals) primarily sense sound using particle motion.

Particles, environments and possible ecologies in the Jovian atmosphere [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1976 The eddy diffusion coefficient is estimated as a function of altitude, separately for the Jovian troposphere and mesosphere. Complex organic molecules produced by the Ly alpha photolysis of methane may possibly be the absorbers in the lower mesosphere which account for the low reflectivity of Jupiter in the near ultraviolet.

, 2008 Depending on the origin, riverine aggregates (suspended material) harbor a complex mixture of inorganic and organic components. The living organic components are characterized by nucleic acid-containing constituents such as algae, protozoa, fungi, bacteria and virus-like particles.

Viral ecology of organic and inorganic particles in aquatic systems: avenues for further research [PDF]
Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2009 Viral abundance and processes in the water column and sediments are well studied for some systems; however, we know relatively little about virus-host interactions on particles and how particles influence these interactions. Here we review virus-prokaryote interactions on inorganic and organic particles in the water column.

Theoretical Mechanics of Particle Capture: Predictions for Hydropsychid Caddisfly Distributional Ecology [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 1990 Computer simulations based on equations developed earlier were used to analyze theoretically the effects of six parameters on particle capture by hydropsychid caddisfly nets. If assumptions that form the basis of these simulations are valid, the following statements can be made. (1) Nets with fine meshes capture suspended particles at a higher rate per

'DIS_turbation': An Artistic Approach to Foster Nature-Connectedness
Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts, 2021 This paper presents practice-based research on ecoacoustics, ocean soundscapes and anthropogenic noise. It explores creative strategies to the introduction, experience and performance of ocean soundscapes in artistic creation.

Tracer-based investigation of organic aerosols in marine atmospheres from marginal seas of China to the northwest Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 We investigated the geographic distributions of organic tracers in total suspended particles over the marginal seas of China, including the Yellow and Bohai seas (YBS) and the South China Sea (SCS), and the northwest Pacific Ocean (NWPO) in spring, when ...

Defective subviral particles modify ecological equilibria and enhance viral coexistence
Frontiers in Virology, 2022 ABSTRACTCooperation is a main driver of biological complexity at all levels. In the viral world, gene sharing among viral genomes, complementation between genomes or interactions within quasispecies are frequently observed. In this contribution, we explore the advantages that flexible associations between fully fledged viruses and subviral entities ...
