Biological processes and links to the physics [PDF]
Analysis of the temporal and spatial variability of biological processes and identification of the main variables that drive the dynamic regime of marine ecosystems is complex.

The degradation of particulate organic matter in the ocean is a central process in the global carbon cycle, the mode and tempo of which is determined by the bacterial communities that assemble on particle surfaces.

Anthropic arguments outside of cosmology and string theory [PDF]
Anthropic reasoning has lately been strongly associated with the string theory landscape and some theories of particle cosmology, such as cosmological inflation. The association is not, contrary to multiple statements by physicists and philosophers alike,

Spatial Structure Supports Diversity in Prebiotic Autocatalytic Chemical Ecosystems [PDF]
Autocatalysis is thought to have played an important role in the earliest stages of the origin of life. An autocatalytic cycle (AC) is a set of reactions that results in stoichiometric increase in its constituent chemicals. When the reactions of multiple interacting ACs are active in a region of space, they can have interactions analogous to those ...

Biogeography of the free-living and particle-attached bacteria in Tibetan lakes.
The free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacteria have different dispersal potentials and ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems. However, our knowledge of their diversity and regional biogeographic patterns in high-altitude alpine lakes is ...

Application of microbial analyses to feeds and potential implications for poultry nutrition
: Poultry nutrition and feed manufacturing are interrelated for a variety of reasons. Diet formulation is essential for optimizing bird growth and feed conversion, but compositional differences and the presence of certain feed additives can alter the ...

The dynamics of Vibrio communities have been shown in many marine habitats that are close to land, including estuary or harbor areas. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of Vibrio populations in the northern Chinese marginal seas, spanning ...

Behavior and Bio-Interactions of Anthropogenic Particles in Marine Environment for a More Realistic Ecological Risk Assessment [PDF]
Owing to production, usage, and disposal of nano-enabled products as well as fragmentation of bulk materials, anthropogenic nanoscale particles (NPs) can enter the natural environment and through different compartments (air, soil, and water) end up into the sea.

Towards improved bioaerosol model validation and verification [PDF]
Bioaerosols, comprised of bacteria, fungi and viruses are ubiquitous in ambient air. Known to adversely affect human health, the impact of bioaerosols on a population often manifests as outbreaks of illnesses such as Legionnaires Disease and Q fever ...

Diversity of filter feeding and variations in cross-flow filtration of five ram-feeding fish species
IntroductionFilter-feeding fish separate food particles from the surrounding water by cross-flow filtration in which a suspension flows parallel to a porous filter medium, thereby transporting particles along the surface.MethodsHere, we investigate cross-
