Human Ecology: Industrial Ecology

Industrial Ecology aims to inform decision making about the environmental impacts of industrial production processes by tracking and analyzing resource use and flows of industrial products, consumer products and wastes. Quantifying the patterns of use of materials and energy in different societies is one area of research in Industrial Ecology. An extensive literature is devoted in particular to...

Special Section: Hierarchical Models in Avian Ecology

As spatial ecology, biogeography, and landscape ecology progress we are increasingly aware of how spatial and temporal scale structure ecological patterns and affect ecological processes (Wiens 1989). Advances in these fields have come from studies of a variety of taxa, particularly plants and insects (With 1994, Ludwig and Tongway 1995, Wondzell et al. 1996, McIntyre and Wiens 1999, Östman and...

Phylogeny, biogeography, and ecology of Ficus section Malvanthera (Moraceae).

We conducted the first molecular phylogenetic study of Ficus section Malvanthera (Moraceae; subgenus Urostigma) based on 32 Malvanthera accessions and seven outgroups representing other sections of Ficus subgenus Urostigma. We used DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers (ITS and ETS), and the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3pdh) region. Ph...
