Date Published: January 15, 2013 Publisher: Public Library of Science Author(s): Allen Rodrigo, Susan Alberts, Karen Cranston, Joel Kingsolver, Hilmar Lapp, Craig McClain, Robin Smith, Todd Vision, Jory Weintraub, Brian Wiegmann Abstract: How should funding agencies enable researchers to explore high-risk but potentially high-reward science? One model that appears to work is the NSF-funded synthesis … Continue reading Research Article: Science Incubators: Synthesis Centers and Their Role in the Research Ecosystem
OpenStax Biology 2e The study of the changes in ecosystem structure caused by changes in the environment (disturbances) or by internal forces is called ecosystem dynamics. Ecosystems are characterized using a variety of research methodologies. Some ecologists study ecosystems using controlled experimental systems, while some study entire ecosystems in their natural state, and others use both … Continue reading Research into Ecosystem Dynamics: Ecosystem Experimentation and Modeling
Date Published: December 10, 2008 Publisher: Public Library of Science Author(s): Marta Coll, Simone Libralato, Sergi Tudela, Isabel Palomera, Fabio Pranovi, Andy Hector. http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0003881 Abstract: Fisheries catches represent a net export of mass and energy that can no longer be used by trophic levels higher than those fished. Thus, exploitation implies a depletion of secondary production … Continue reading Research Article: Ecosystem Overfishing in the Ocean
Date Published: July 13, 2018 Publisher: Public Library of Science Author(s): Oswald J. Schmitz Abstract: Ecosystem ecologists explore how different kinds of species fit together to drive ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and productivity. This research is motivated by theories that assume that the suite of traits that characterize a species’ form determines its … Continue reading Research Article: Species in ecosystems and all that jazz
Date Published: May 12, 2010 Publisher: Public Library of Science Author(s): Bo Hu, Jin Du, Rui-yang Zou, Ying-jin Yuan, Mark Isalan. http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0010619 Abstract: Microbial ecosystems have been widely used in industrial production, but the inter-relationships of organisms within them haven’t been completely clarified due to complex composition and structure of natural microbial ecosystems. So it is … Continue reading Research Article: An Environment-Sensitive Synthetic Microbial Ecosystem
Date Published: June 23, 2017 Publisher: Public Library of Science Author(s): Sela Ferdman, Einat Minkov, Ron Bekkerman, David Gefen, Hussein Suleman. http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179281 Abstract Contrary to the assumption that web browsers are designed to support the user, an examination of a 900,000 distinct PCs shows that web browsers comprise a complex ecosystem with millions of addons … Continue reading Research Article: Quantifying the web browser ecosystem

Bagstad, Marika Ferrari, Davide Geneletti, Hermann Klug, Uta Schirpke, Ulrike Tappeiner, Simon Thrush. http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0112601 Abstract Ecosystems provide life-sustaining services upon which human civilization depends, but their degradation largely continues unabated. Spatially explicit information on ecosystem services (ES) provision … Continue reading Research Article: On the Effects of Scale for Ecosystem Services Mapping
