Integrating Humans into Ecology: Opportunities and Challenges for Studying Urban Ecosystems
F most of human history, the influence of human beings on biophysical processes, ecological systems, and evolutionary change has been relatively limited, as compared with the influence of “natural” (nonhuman) processes. Ecological and evolutionary change has generally been attributable to natural variation in energy and material flows and to natural selection by parasites, diseases, predators, ...
متن کاملIntegrating microbial ecology into ecosystem models: challenges and priorities
Microbial communities can potentially mediate feedbacks between global change and ecosystem function, owing to their sensitivity to environmental change and their control over critical biogeochemical processes. Numerous ecosystem models have been developed to predict global change effects, but most do not consider microbial mechanisms in detail. In this idea paper, we examine the extent to whic...

متن کاملIntegrating ecology into biotechnology.
New high-throughput culture-independent molecular tools are allowing the scientific community to characterize and understand the microbial communities underpinning environmental biotechnology processes in unprecedented ways. By creatively leveraging these new data sources, microbial ecology has the potential to transition from a purely descriptive to a predictive framework, in which ecological ...
متن کاملModeling of Digital Ecosystems: Challenges and Opportunities
'Digital ecosystems' is a metaphor inspired by natural ecosystems which describes a set of distributed, adaptive, and open socio-technical systems.
