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.

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 ...

Atmo-ecometabolomics: a novel atmospheric particle chemical characterization methodology for ecological research [PDF]
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2019 Aerosol particles play important roles in processes controlling the composition of the atmosphere and function of ecosystems. A better understanding of the composition of aerosol particles is beginning to be recognized as critical for ecological research to further comprehend the link between aerosols and ecosystems.

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.

Simulation of Activation Experiments in an Irradiation Stand in the Context of Nuclear Decommissioning [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesMonte Carlo simulations are a valuable tool to determine activated areas in nuclear power plants. This paper describes the simulation of an neutron irradiation stand containing 8 (α,n) sources and polyethylene shielding. The source spectrum of beryllium (

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

Modeling of small sea floaters in the central Mediterranean Sea: seasonality of at-sea distributions [PDF]
, 2018 Floating marine debris represent a threat to marine and coastal ecology. Since the Mediterranean basin is one of the highly impacted regions, both by the coastal pollution as well as from sea traffic, the potential harm of a floating pollution on the ...
