Organisational resistance to ecological footprinting
International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, 2009This paper explores organisational resistance to more comprehensive sustainability reporting in the form of ecological footprinting. On the basis of a series of interviews with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Managers in the UK, a number of barriers were identified for ecological footprinting at the organisational level: the cost and resource ...

Ecology of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
2007This chapter starts with a brief history of the growing public interest in the ecology of resistance genes and then moves on to a survey of some of the conceptual problems that have emerged. It focuses on a few groups of bacteria that are major players in the oral and intestinal ecosystems of humans and animals, the obligate anaerobes.

The evolutionary ecology of insect resistance to plant chemicals
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007Understanding the diversity of insect responses to chemical pressures (e.g. plant allelochemicals and pesticides) in their local ecological context represents a key challenge in developing durable pest control strategies. To what extent do the resistance mechanisms evolved by insects to deal with the chemical defences of plants differ from those that ...

Unravelling the Ecology of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in the Nasopharynx
2010To study the dynamics and diversity of pneumococcal carriage and antibiotic resistance, a more thorough and systematic approach has been employed compared with routine surveillance of serotype and anti-biotic resistance. Up to ten pneumococcal isolates from pernasal (nose) and oropharyngeal (throat) sites are isolated and characterised.

[Adaptation and ecological resistance].
Zhurnal obshchei biologii, 2005The notion fitness, widely used in genetics usually serves to measure a relative rate of organism reproduction. Another important character of an organism is its ecological resistance which is basically the product of macroevolution. It can be determined as a probability of an organism survival and participation in reproduction of the species ...

Resistance Factors and Their Ecological Importance to Bacteria and to Man
1973Publisher Summary This chapter explores how man has made the production of antibacterial substances into a multimillion dollar concern; and the selection pressure that this effort exerts on the bacterial population is immense—particularly in certain niches important to man.
