Applying ecosystem services principles to the derivation of freshwater environmental quality standards
(Frontiers Media, 5 August 2022)Freshwater ecosystems provide many benefits to people (ecosystem services), but their biodiversity and functioning is threatened by anthropogenic stressors, including chemical pollution. Environmental quality standards ... -
Tree species that ‘live slow, die older’ enhance tropical peat swamp restoration: Evidence from a systematic review
(Wiley, 16 July 2022)Degraded tropical peatlands lack tree cover and are often subject to seasonal flooding and repeated burning. These harsh environments for tree seedlings to survive and grow are therefore challenging to revegetate. Knowledge ... -
An ultrasensitive microfluidic approach reveals correlations between the physico-chemical and biological activity of experimental peptide antibiotics.
(Nature Research, 7 March 2022)Antimicrobial resistance challenges the ability of modern medicine to contain infections. Given the dire need for new antimicrobials, polypeptide antibiotics hold particular promise. These agents hit multiple targets in ... -
Exaggerated trans-membrane charge of ammonium transporters in nutrient-poor marine environments
(The Royal Society, 13 July 2022)Transporter proteins are a vital interface between cells and their environment. In nutrient-limited environments, microbes with transporters that are effective at bringing substrates into their cells will gain a competitive ... -
Meteorological Data Policies Needed to Support Biodiversity Monitoring with Weather Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 27 April 2022)Weather radar networks have great potential for continuous and long-term monitoring of aerial biodiversity of birds, bats, and insects. Biological data from weather radars can support ecological research, inform conservation ...
