A major question in ecology has centered on the role of microbes in regulating ecosystem function. Now scientists show how changes in the populations of methanotrophic bacteria can have consequences ...
(1) Ecogenomics and ecoproteomics focusing on analysis of substances produced by organisms and a technology to produce useful substances (2) Ecogenomics and ecoproteomics focusing on elucidation of ...
An important goal in ecology is developing general theory on how the species composition of ecosystems is related to ecosystem properties and functions. Progress on this front is limited partly ...
The metabolic theory of ecology and the role of body size in marine and freshwater ecosystems / James H. Brown, Andrew P. Allen and James F. Gillooly -- Body size and suspension feeding / Stuart ...
The environmental impact of deep-sea mining is only partially known. Also, there is a lack of standards to regulate mining and set binding thresholds for the impact on the local organisms. Researchers ...
In a study tracking climate-induced changes in the distribution of animals and their effects on ecosystem functions, North Carolina State University researchers show that resident species can continue ...
Many alpine ecosystems are undergoing vegetation degradation because of global change, which is affecting ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. The ecological consequences of alpine pioneer ...
