Chemical composition, sources and evolution of wintertime inorganic and organic aerosols in urban Shanghai, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
China experienced severe haze pollution in the past decades. However, systematic characterization of atmospheric fine particles with advanced measurement techniques has been very scarce in Shanghai, which is the largest megacity in China.

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

Evolutionary connectionism: algorithmic principles underlying the evolution of biological organisation in evo-devo, evo-eco and evolutionary transitions [PDF]

, 2015
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 ...

A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimisation-Genetic Algorithm for Multi-objective Reservoir Ecological Dispatching

Water Resources Management, 2022
Abstract Reservoir ecological dispatching is a complex system problem with multi-objective, multiple-criteria and multiple-phase. This study establishes a multi-objective ecological dispatching model in Changchun city of Yinma River Basin based on the water demand of social economic development, river ecology, and the constraint of reservoir ...

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 ...

Study on Characteristic Spectrum and Multiple Classifier Fusion With Different Particle Size in Marine Sediments

IEEE Access, 2020
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 ...

On predicting particle capture rates in aquatic ecosystems.

PLoS ONE, 2021
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

Engineering the Cambrian explosion: the earliest bioturbators as ecosystem engineers [PDF]

, 2017
By applying modern biological criteria to trace fossil types and assessing burrow morphology, complexity, depth, potential burrow function and the likelihood of bioirrigation, we assign ecosystem engineering impact (EEI) values to the key ichnotaxa in ...

Suspended particulates mediate bacterial community coalescence in different habitats of a large sediment-laden river

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Many studies have reported the influence of dispersal processes on aquatic bacterial communities, but the role of community coalescence is still unknown in sediment-laden rivers.
