The Stoichiometry of Nutrient Release by Terrestrial Herbivores and Its Ecosystem Consequences [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017 It is widely recognized that the release of nutrients by herbivores via their waste products strongly impacts nutrient availability for autotrophs. The ratios of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) recycled through herbivore release (i.e., waste N:P) are ...

Conservation Biology, 2022 Abstract River conservation efforts traditionally focus on perennial watercourses (i.e., those that do not dry) and their associated aquatic biodiversity. However, most of the global river network is not perennial and thus supports both aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity.

New Insights into the Ecology and Physiology of Methanomassiliicoccales from Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Members of the archaeal order Methanomassiliicoccales are methanogens mainly associated with animal digestive tracts. However, environmental members remain poorly characterized as no representatives not associated with a host have been cultivated so far.

A Pharm-Ecological Perspective of Terrestrial and Aquatic Plant-Herbivore Interactions [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2013 We describe some recent themes in the nutritional and chemical ecology of herbivores and the importance of a broad pharmacological view of plant nutrients and chemical defenses that we integrate as "Pharm-ecology". The central role that dose, concentration, and response to plant components (nutrients and secondary metabolites) play in herbivore ...

Review of Ecological Effects of Roads on Terrestrial and Aquatic Communities [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2000 Abstract: Roads are a widespread and increasing feature of most landscapes. We reviewed the scientific literature on the ecological effects of roads and found support for the general conclusion that they are associated with negative effects on biotic integrity in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Roads of

Microeukaryotic gut parasites in wastewater treatment plants: diversity, activity, and removal
Microbiome, 2022 Background During wastewater treatment, the wastewater microbiome facilitates the degradation of organic matter, reduction of nutrients, and removal of gut parasites.

Consumption of submerged aquatic macrophytes by rudd (scardinius erythrophthalmus L.) in New Zealand [PDF]
, 2002 In experiments in New Zealand, rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus L.) of 108–277mm fork length (FL) ate a wide range of native and introduced submerged aquatic macrophytes in captivity and in the field.

Radiocarbon in ecology: Insights and perspectives from aquatic and terrestrial studies [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Abstract Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the biosphere, and a key element for understanding how consumer and resource relationships affect ecosystem functioning. To trace carbon sources, ecologists predominantly rely on stable carbon ratios but variable 13C baselines and diet‐to‐consumer offsets can lead to ambiguous results.

Enhancing the predictability of ecology in a changing world: A call for an organism-based approach [PDF]
, 2023 Ecology is usually very good in making descriptive explanations of what is observed, but is often unable to make predictions of the response of ecosystems to change. This has implications in a human-dominated world where a suite of anthropogenic stresses
