Urbanization as an ecological phenomenon
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article authors discuss the main ecological aspects of urbanization process. particular, such phenomena as anthropogenic transformation environment, which is basis all further transformations forming urban areas, are analyzed. addition, processes change organisms, for example, cultivation and domestication, considered. Unfortunately, in modern science, process usually considered from economic, social, cultural positions, often without affecting environmental component. This fact a significant omission, especially context an increase number natural landscapes transformed by human.

Community-level demographic consequences of urbanization: an ecological network approach.
Ecological networks are known to influence ecosystem attributes, but we poorly understand how interspecific network structure affect population demography of multiple species, particularly for vertebrates. Establishing the link between network structure and demography is at the crux of being able to use networks to understand population dynamics and to inform conservation. We addressed the crit...
متن کاملGenetic signatures of ecological diversity along an urbanization gradient
Despite decades of work in environmental science and ecology, estimating human influences on ecosystems remains challenging. This is partly due to complex chains of causation among ecosystem elements, exacerbated by the difficulty of collecting biological data at sufficient spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales. Here, we demonstrate the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) for quantifying asso...
متن کاملA numerical investigation of a reaction-diffusion equation arises from an ecological phenomenon
This paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of reaction diffusion equations arises from ecological phenomena. When two species are introduced into unoccupied habitat, they can spread across the environment as two travelling waves with the wave of the faster reproducer moving ahead of the slower.The mathematical modelling of invasions of species in more complex settings that include ...

Waldo and his colleagues at the University of Alabama (1-3) observed that a critical rate of pacing was required to terminate atrial flutter. At the lower rates of pacing, continuation of the arrhythmia occurred immediately after cessation of pacing. Their observations had important clinical implications, including the recommendation for systematic prophylactic implantation of electrodes during...
متن کاملAging as an Epigenetic Phenomenon
INTRODUCTION Hypermethylation of genes associated with promoter CpG islands, and hypomethylation of CpG poor genes, repeat sequences, transposable elements and intergenic genome sections occur during aging in mammals. Methylation levels of certain CpG sites display strict correlation to age and could be used as "epigenetic clock" to predict biological age. Multi-substrate deacetylases SIRT1 and...
