On predicting particle capture rates in aquatic ecosystems.
Recent advances in understanding the capture of moving suspended particles in aquatic ecosystems have opened up new possibilities for predicting rates of suspension feeding, larval settlement, seagrass pollination and sediment removal. Drawing on results

Marine Gel Interactions with Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Pollutants
Microgels play critical roles in a variety of processes in the ocean, including element cycling, particle interactions, microbial ecology, food web dynamics, air–sea exchange, and pollutant distribution and transport.

Ocean carbon sequestration: Particle fragmentation by copepods as a significant unrecognised factor?
Ocean biology helps regulate global climate by fixing atmospheric CO2 and exporting it to deep waters as sinking detrital particles. New observations demonstrate that particle fragmentation is the principal factor controlling the depth to which these ...

Atmo-ecometabolomics: a novel atmospheric particle chemical characterization methodology for ecological research [PDF]
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.

Marine sediments record much information of the ecological process, which highly correlated with global and local environmental change. Particle size and its distributions of sediments indicate different ecological functions, thus are the key questions ...

Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]
For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

Benthic macrofauna and sediment reworking quantification in contrasted environments in the Thau Lagoon [PDF]
As part of the Microbent-PNEC Program: ‘‘Biogeochemical processes at the wateresediment interface in eutrophicated environment’’, the aim of this work was to specifically investigate and quantify the relationships between macrobenthos and sediment ...

Bayesian deep learning for error estimation in the analysis of anomalous diffusion
Modern single-particle-tracking techniques produce extensive time-series of diffusive motion in a wide variety of systems, from single-molecule motion in living-cells to movement ecology.

Evolutionary connectionism: algorithmic principles underlying the evolution of biological organisation in evo-devo, evo-eco and evolutionary transitions [PDF]
The mechanisms of variation, selection and inheritance, on which evolution by natural selection depends, are not fixed over evolutionary time. Current evolutionary biology is increasingly focussed on understanding how the evolution of developmental ...
