Download or read book Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution 2020 Highlights written by Mark A. Elgar and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If nothing else, 2020 reminded us that, whether we like it or not, human society forms part of a broader ecological community that includes species with management challenges. My experience in Melbourne highlighted how environmental threats to humanity are best managed when governments adopt evidence-based strategies (that might also require incentives for human cooperation). Fundamental research, ranging from quantitative natural history to broader insights about ecological and evolutionary processes, invariably forms the backbone of such evidence. The collection of papers in this 2020 Highlights eBook represents a sample of articles in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution that contribute to our collective wisdom in the discipline and generated sizeable interest among our readers. We hope you also find them interesting.

Download or read book How Men Age written by Richard G. Bribiescas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking book that examines all aspects of male aging through an evolutionary lens While the health of aging men has been a focus of biomedical research for years, evolutionary biology has not been part of the conversation—until now. How Men Age is the first book to explore how natural selection has shaped male aging, how evolutionary theory can inform our understanding of male health and well-being, and how older men may have contributed to the evolution of some of the very traits that make us human. In this informative and entertaining book, renowned biological anthropologist Richard Bribiescas looks at all aspects of male aging through an evolutionary lens. He describes how the challenges males faced in their evolutionary past influenced how they age today, and shows how this unique evolutionary history helps explain common aspects of male aging such as prostate disease, loss of muscle mass, changes in testosterone levels, increases in fat, erectile dysfunction, baldness, and shorter life spans than women. Bribiescas reveals how many of the physical and behavioral changes that we negatively associate with male aging may have actually facilitated the emergence of positive traits that have helped make humans so successful as a species, including parenting, long life spans, and high fertility. Popular science at its most compelling, How Men Age provides new perspectives on the aging process in men and how we became human, and also explores future challenges for human evolution—and the important role older men might play in them.

This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different dimensions of biodiversity are increasingly appreciated as critical for maintaining the functions of ecosystems and their services to humans. More recently, with the emergence of functional biogeography, functional diversity is of particular interest due to its strong links with ecosystem processes such as carbon, water and energy exchange, and climate mitigation. The multi-form diversity varies in space and time. Understanding this variation across scales is important for tracking the resilience of Earth’s ecosystem, and the information on the ecosystem structural features provides necessary foundations for monitoring, predicting the ecosystem functioning patterns and process of ecosystems from individual unit to its whole in a holistic manner. In recent, the high-resolution, high-throughput, non-intrusive, and large-scale data on biodiversity monitoring and measurement are becoming a new trend toward enhancing the efficiency and coherency in ecological discovery. Still, the available multi-scale data on multi-dimensional diversity are incomplete and non-representative taxonomically, geographically and temporally. Although the studies on functional traits and their relations with function continue to grow, local observations on functional traits are limited. Recently, remote sensing has proved to be a critical technology for addressing this research gap. Air- and satellite-borne spectrometers at different levels could develop novel diversity measurements and alternati
Download or read book Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring written by Samy Ismail Elmahdy and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancements in object-based image analysis, commercial high-resolution satellite sensors, and unmanned aerial vehicles, there is growing interest in studying terrestrial, pollution, catastrophe, and ocean dynamics using a range of high-resolution remote sensing data (UAV). High and extremely high-resolution optical and microwave images enable the extraction of more information from a variety of resource management domains, including agriculture, forestry, geological resources, water resources, cryosphere, atmosphere, and analytics for climate change. Researchers have started utilizing advanced techniques for fine-level information extraction, new sensors and platforms, improved quantification, and characterization of physical environments, patterns, and processes. High-quality articles addressing the use and application of remote sensing in environmental studies will be published in this Research Topic.
