However, for the analysis of microbial community ecology and the functioning of ecosystems, the determination of functional diversity is of greatest importance.

We analyze the interactions among marine ecology and biodiversity, fisheries, socioeconomics, climate change, and more. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral ecosystem research ...

A novel paper led by Dr. Ulrich Brose of the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is widening the understanding of how species interact ...

A theoretical perspective to the study of community and ecosystem ecology examining the role of interactions between two or more species and their environment. Topics covered include techniques of ...

Understanding how succession happens in a variety of ecosystems—and what kinds of disturbances and time spans lead to the formation of different plant and animal communities—is important for ...

The microbiome is like a fingerprint: every person's community of microbes is complex and unique. But the underlying dynamics, the interactions between the microbes that shape these microbial ...

It aims to show not only how humans impact nature, but also how the ecosystems they lived within shaped human culture and dynamics.
