Intra- and inter-species interactions in microbial communities
Recent developments in various “OMICs” fields have revolutionized our understanding of the vast diversity and ubiquity of microbes in the biosphere. However, most of the current paradigms of microbial cell biology, and our view of how microbes live and what they are capable of, are derived from in vitro experiments on isolated strains. Even the co-culturing of mixed species to interrogate community behavior is relatively new. But the majority of microorganisms lives in complex communities in natural environments, under varying conditions, and often cannot be cultivated. Unless we obtain a detailed understanding of the near-native 3D ultrastructure of individual community members, the 3D ...
Emerging Issues in Fish Larvae Research
This book deals with the fundamentals of key physiological mechanisms involved in the development and growth of fish larvae. Chapters included show how the environmental and nutritional conditions are affecting the developmental process from its molecular basis and how these same conditions also influence the final characteristics of late larvae and fry. This volume provides recent findings on the importance of environmental rhythms, some specific nutrients and the adequate microbial environment in the developmental processes including recent results of current research projects.
Beyond the Sea
An exciting foray into Earth's inland waters, the remarkable species they contain, and the conservation challenges of protecting them. When we call Earth "the blue planet" we immediately envision the vast oceans that cover most of its surface. But seas aren't the only bodies of water that make Earth special. Millions of diverse inland waters rush, meander, and seep throughout the planet, teeming with life. These streams, lakes, wetlands, and groundwaters are home to thousands of species, many of which are extraordinary and some of which are critically endangered. In Beyond the Sea, ecologist David Strayer introduces readers to the world's most remarkable and varied inland waters, including m...
The Dimming of Starlight
Galileo and Kepler dreamed of the possibility of space exploration, although its reality was later underappreciated and even challenged by social, ideological, and scientific critics as a diversion from our problems on Earth. The Dimming of Starlight tells the fascinating stories of how space exploration places us in unusual situations that force us to come up with new ideas about nature. This strong connection between scientific exploration and scientific change makes us aware of a new panorama of problems, dangers, and opportunities that leads to new solutions and technologies that would have been unimaginable under old perspectives. Thus, the exploration of Venus led to the discovery of the destruction of Earth's Ozone layer. This discovery will save hundreds of millions of lives in the coming centuries. As we explore space, we learn to protect our planet from catastrophe, and all the while we change drastically our ideas about the nature of the universe. With its account of serendipity and splendor, the book invites readers on an exciting journey in which, step by step, we are shown the crucial importance of space exploration for humanity.
Kouzelný svět bakterií
Pojďte s námi na úchvatný výlet do miniaturního světa bakterií Všude kolem nás, i v nás, se rozprostírá okem neviditelný svět plný těch nejmenších, nejstarších a nejúžasnějších tvorů na Zemi – bakterií. Dokázaly se přizpůsobit životu na nejneuvěřitelnějších místech a naučily se spolupracovat nejen mezi sebou, ale i se stvořeními mnohem většími: rostlinami, živočichy i člověkem. Jsou to geniální maličcí stavitelé, lékaři, umělci, vynálezci i sportovci a život na naší modré planetě by bez nich nikdy nemohl existovat.
Age of Discovery
Age of Discovery looks at the world on the brink of a new Renaissance and asks the question, how do we avoid chaos and disruption, and share more widely the benefits of progress? Now is humanity's best moment. And our most fragile. Global health, wealth and education are booming. Scientific discovery is flourishing. But the same forces that make big gains possible for some of us deliver big losses to others--and tangle us together in ways that make everyone vulnerable. We've been here before. The first Renaissance, the time of Columbus, Copernicus, Gutenberg and others, redrew all maps of the world, liberated information and shifted Western civilization from the medieval to the early modern era. Such change came at a price: social division, political extremism, economic shocks, pandemics and other unintended consequences of human endeavour. Now is our second Renaissance. In the face of terrorism, Brexit, refugee crises and the global impact of a Trump presidency, we can flourish-if we heed the urgent lessons of history. Age of Discovery, revised and updated for this paperback edition, shows us how.
Nuova età dell'oro
Dei quindici anni più caldi mai avvertiti sul nostro pianeta quattordici si sono registrati nel xxi secolo. L'inquinamento da carbonio ha portato i gas serra ai picchi più alti dalla fine del Cretaceo. Una crisi finanziaria globale ha lasciato senza parole i cervelli meglio pagati al mondo. E ancora l'11 settembre, gli attacchi terroristici da Montreal a Manchester, la Brexit, i collassi nucleari, gli tsunami e gli uragani: di ragioni per pensare che tutto stia crollando ce ne sono parecchie. Eppure Ian Goldin e Chris Kutarna sono sicuri: questa è la Nuova età dell'oro. Proprio come nel Rinascimento, nella nostra epoca c'è un terreno estremamente fertile per la fioritura del genio, perc...
Aquatic Ecosystems and Development
Contributed volume of key presentations from a series of biennial International Conferences on the Ecology and Management of Alien Plant Invasions (EMAPi). This volume aims to contribute to this growing field, exploring human perceptions of plant invasions and the role of humans in the invasion process from different perspectives and geographical areas. It also covers case studies of the biology and ecology of invasive species, mechanisms of invasion and ecological impacts, while offering solutions through a variety of control and management techniques.
