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.

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 ...

1997
This paper begins an inquiry into the subject of resistance. In diffusion theory and in the related field of organizational development, resistance is overdetermined. In other words, the topic is typically glossed and is too easily identified as an automatic, and by nature negative, response to change: a change that is to be managed.

Social Barriers in Ecological Landscapes: The Social Resistance Hypothesis
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020Across animal societies, individuals invest time and energy in social interactions. The social landscape that emerges from these interactions can then generate barriers that limit the ability of individuals to disperse to, and reproduce in, groups or populations.

Flow Resistance in Ecological Subdrainage Channel
2019Ecological subdrainage channel is one of the components in a sustainable urban drainage system whereby stormwater is allowed to infiltrate grass channel drain into the subsurface drainage flow. This simple process results in significant reduction on runoff quantity while at the same time promotes better runoff quality, both of which are beneficial for ...

Abstract This chapter argues that ecological resistance started in the early 1970s as part of the movement culture of the “new social movements.” It involved an emphasis on transgressive strategies and/or tactics and a systemic perspective on nature, as well as the implication that systemic change was needed to address environmental ...

[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 ...

Antibiotic resistance: an ecological imbalance.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1997Antibiotic resistance thwarts the treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. Although a number of factors can be identified which contribute to the problem, clearly the antibiotic as a selective agent and the resistance gene as the vehicle of resistance are the two most important, making up a 'drug resistance equation'.

Plant biotechnology: ecological case studies on herbicide resistance
Trends in Plant Science, 2006The emerging field of molecular ecology aims to improve the ecological predictability of transgenic crop plants. The most widely cultivated lines are Roundup-Ready plants, which are genetically modified to be resistant to the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate.
