Coastal social-ecological systems (SES) are home to over 500 million people and one of the most productive and diverse ecosystems in the world. In recent years, coastal SES are experiencing severe threat from an increasing population, resource exploitation, and global environmental change (e.g. ...
Distinguish between a hypothesis and a theory. What is the scientific method of observation? Define allergy, and provide examples of environmental allergens. How are mathematical concepts applied in biology? Explain the concept of a "biological clock." What is the meaning of micro-biology in scienc...
Define "economic theory". Briefly, describe monopsony and provide a real-life example. Explain what crony capitalism is and what effects it has on the economy using the production possibilities frontier (PPF) model. Describe the economic system of the United States. Explain how a free market e...
In theory, environmental values are the main example, although in fact some environmental values do have human defenders who derive enormous util- ity from preserving them—a utility that would be accounted for in a proper efficiency analysis. Although cost-effectiveness analysis and benefit–cost ...
A transcriptomic cell type taxonomy must be linked to anatomical and functional information to evaluate the validity of the transcriptomic taxonomy and determine the appropriate level of granularity (since in theory, transcriptomic clusters can be infinitely subdivided, and the more cells profiled, the ...

Identifying appropriate temporal and spatial boundaries for assessments of human–environment systems continues to be a challenge in sustainability science. The livelihood of Indigenous peoples in the northwestern Brazilian Amazon are characterized by complex ecological management systems entwined with sociocultur...
For example, synthetic consortium engineering has been used as a bottom-up approach to gain insight into complex dynamics including population behavior, game theory, pattern formation, and cross-feeding [49–54]. The majority of described synthetic consortia involve the exchange of engineered signals ...
Still, the optimism theory remains attractive.One reason is that Americans live in a culture that desires control.We want to believe that we can beat cancer by imposing our will on the disease.A better reason is that mental states like depression and chronic anxiety have been shown to...
