Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

ABSTRACT Primary brain tumors are life‐threatening diseases. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type with a poor prognosis. Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric brain tumor. While surgical treatments often result in recurrences owing to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment, conventional treatments lower the quality of life of ...

The anti-biofilm effects of sponge (Callyspongia sp.) and two sea anemones (Zoanthus sansibaricus and Cerianthus lloydii) collected from the Persian Gulf [PDF]
Background: Sponges and sea anemones do not have specialized defense organs. Instead, they rival harmful microorganisms by producing certain compounds. These compounds can also be useful against some human pathogens.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

WHILST in some branches of science, especially physics, there are so many workers in the field that monographs can be continually revised, in others many years must pass by before an expert can bring our knowledge up-to-date. Dr. T. A. Stephenson, one of the two leading workers on anemones at the present time, is to be congratulated on his effort to ...

Foliar Contributions to Methane and Nitrous Oxide Exchange in Urban Green Roof Systems
Biochar amendment of extensive green roof substrates enhanced foliar methane (CH4) uptake (~3×) and reduced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions across native and stonecrop vegetation. City‐scale extrapolation to Toronto's permitted green roof area indicates measurable, management‐sensitive non‐CO2 mitigation within urban green infrastructure systems ...

ABSTRACT Aim The biogeography and evolution of South African sea cucumbers have been previously explored; however, these aspects lack detailed study. This study (1) explores the biogeography of sea cucumbers along the coastline of South Africa (SA) and (2) presents a preliminary molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S marker.

ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...
