Microbial and Viral Ecology Analysis for Metagenomic Data
The explosion in known microbial diversity in the last two decades has made it abundantly clear that microbes in the environment do not exist in isolation; they are members of communities. Accordingly, omics approaches such as metagenomics have revealed that interactions between diverse groups of community members such as archaea, bacteria, and viruses

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation
iMeta, EarlyView.This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global obesity epidemic necessitates safe and effective strategies to enhance energy expenditure. Schisantherin A (Sin A), a lignan derived from Schisandra chinensis, has demonstrated metabolic benefits, yet its systemic mechanism remains unclear.

Viral ecology of a shallow eutrophic lake.
, 2007 This thesis aims to give an insight into the ecology of the viral community in a shallow eutrophic lake. To achieve this, the population dynamics, diversity and control of the viral community in Lake Loosdrecht were studied, as well as the impact of the viral community on plankton mortality and community composition. A seasonal study of Lake Loosdrecht

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chips are advancing reproductive system research. In the female reproductive system, applications include cancer organoid models, placental chips, and hormone simulation models. For the male reproductive system, research focuses on drug resistance mechanisms, co‐culture platforms, and infertility studies. These refined in vitro

Bacterial and viral adaptation in ecologically complex systems
, 2018 If we want to understand microbial diversity and find new ways to control infectious disease, it is important that we consider the variety of ecological factors that microorganisms normally encounter and how this influences their evolution. Our understanding of interactions between abiotic (e.g. antibiotics) and biotic (e.g.

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Hybrid Reaction–Diffusion Epidemic Models: Dynamics and Emergence of Oscillations
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we construct a hybrid epidemic mathematical model based on a reaction–diffusion system of the SIR (susceptible‐infected‐recovered) type. This model integrates the impact of random factors on the transmission rate of infectious diseases, represented by a probabilistic process acting at discrete time steps.
