Exploring the theoretical and practical implications of eigenbehavior at the intersection of second-order cybernetics and ecosystem management
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2023-09-11)
In this conceptual paper the authors aim to discuss the implications of a second-order cybernetic approach and eigenbehavior in ecosystem management. The authors argue that traditional management practices rely on the ...
Age-Dependent Behavioral and Synaptic Dysfunction Impairment Are Improved with Long-Term Andrographolide Administration in Long-Lived Female Degus (Octodon degus)
(MDPI, 2023-01)
In Octodon degus, the aging process is not equivalent between sexes and worsens for females. To determine the beginning of detrimental features in females and the ways in which to improve them, we compared adult females ...
Soil contamination in nearby natural areas mirrors that in urban greenspaces worldwide
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-03-27)
Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and natural ecosystems. Here we show ...
Neighbourhood landscape context shapes local species richness patterns across continents
(WILEY, 2023-06)
Aim: Recent studies highlight the importance of linking landscape ecology and macroecology for a better understanding of broad-scale biodiversity patterns. The "landscape context effect" denotes that species responses and ...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used as flame retardants in building materials, electronics, furnishings, vehicles, airplanes, plastics, polyurethane foams, and textiles for many years. Currently, the ...
Continuous bioreactors enable high-level bioremediation of diesel-contaminated seawater at low and mesophilic temperatures using Antarctic bacterial consortia: Pollutant analysis and microbial community composition
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-03-15)
In 2020, more than 21,000 tons of diesel oil were released accidently into the environment with most of it contaminating water bodies. There is an urgent need for sustainable technologies to clean up rivers and oceans to ...
Crop-Specific Effects on Pan-Trap Sampling of Potential Pollinators as Influenced by Trap Color and Location
(MDPI, 2023-03-20)
Characterizing insect communities in pollinator-dependent crops helps determine the potential pollinator effectiveness and their effects on crop yield. Few studies have examined pollinator communities and their services ...
