ABSTRACT Astragalus bozakmanii Podlech, an endemic plant species to Turkey, was investigated to provide an understanding the conservation status of this species and to fill the gap in the knowledge of habitat of this spe...

Abstract We analyzed the distribution of endoparasites in five species of Hylidae frogs during their reproductive period, aiming to understand how the host's habitat influences the parasites. Five anuran species (Boana r...

Crisis representation within the field of literary studies increasingly recognizes climate change as a defining global emergency, whose pervasive and multidimensional impact profoundly shapes both the material conditions...

This study examines the ecological relationship between host trees and epiphytic plants in Loksado Forest, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The findings of the research are expected to provide a scientific basis for local co...

Abstract Background Interactions between SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at the population level remain poorly understood. This study aimed to quantify potential interactions among thes...

The strength of species interactions influences strongly the structure and dynamics of ecological systems. Thus, quantifying such strength is crucial to understand how species interactions shape communities and ecosystem...

Heavy metal pollution has become a major global concern due to its serious threats to ecosystem stability and public health. Although significant progress has been achieved in physical, chemical, and biological remediati...

How many dimensions (trait-axes) are required to predict whether two species interact? This unanswered question originated with the idea of ecological niches, and yet bears relevance today for understanding what determin...

Persistent synthetic dyes such as crystal violet pose substantial challenges to environmental remediation due to their high structural stability and toxicity. Here, we report a natural photobioelectrocatalytic strategy f...

Generalist species are the linchpins of networks, as they are important for maintaining network structure and function. Previous studies have shown that interactions between generalists tend to occur consistently across ...

Abstract The upper reaches of the Yangtze River observed record‐breaking droughts, heatwaves, and forest fires in rapid sequence during the 2022 summer, challenging the established mechanistic understanding. We here ex...

Volcanic eruptions are large-scale natural disturbances, which can negatively affect insect fauna and the ecological interactions in which they are involved. The 2011 eruption of the volcanic complex Puyehue Cordón-Caul...

This study provides the first record of the association between the cockroach Pelmatosilpha villana Saussure & Zehntner, 1893 (Blattodea: Blattidae) and three bromeliad species (Billbergia cf. vittata, Vriesea medusa, an...

The construction of a network capturing the topological structure linked to the interactions among species and the analysis of its properties constitutes a clarifying way to understand the functioning of an ecosystem at ...

Ecological cities seek to create a sustainable balance between human activities and the environment. Based on the objective, this is applied-developmental research. In the qualitative section, grounded theory and MAXQDA ...

ABSTRACT We evaluated the floristic and ecological attributes of a seasonal semideciduous forest remnant (SSF) (500-1,050 m) located in a key area for biodiversity conservation. The importance of the fragment to the ecos...

It is clear that malaria, a disease caused by Plasmodium spp., has burdened humans throughout our evolutionary paths and remains one of the deadliest maladies to date. Yet, in sharp contrast to the consequence, the human...

Reconstructing the faunal palaeoecology of landscapes occupied by Neanderthals and their competitors is essential for better understanding their ecological niche, decisions, and behaviors. Late Pleistocene faunal assembl...

A rising human impact alters landscape patterns and determines the agriculture–ecology–economy nexus (AEEN), which further threatens the sustainability of social–ecological system (SES). However, the mechanisms thr...

The rhizosphere is one of the most dynamic biological environments on Earth. Within this narrow zone surrounding plant roots, plants interact constantly with diverse communities of microorganisms including bacteria, fung...

High ambient temperatures are associated with a variety of negative outcomes, from exacerbated mental illness to aggression to increased dementia symptoms. One possible proximal mechanism influencing these impacts is hea...

As global populations age, active aging and lifelong learning have become critical policy objectives. In Taiwan, the Ministry of Education (MOE) promotes Older Adults’ Self-Guided Learning Groups (OASLGs); however, the...

Abstract Egypt’s New Delta Project, one of the country’s largest land reclamation initiatives, aims to boost agricultural production, support population growth, and strengthen food and water security. However, large-...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...
