But the presence of the basic ingredients of life may not in itself be enough for life to exist. To go from the inert to the living may require a very specific combination of environmental conditions that we're only just starting to piece together.但是，生命基本成分的存在本身可能并不足以让...

For the biosphere, we identify safe ESBs for two complementary measures of biodiversity: (1) the area of largely intact natural ecosystems and (2) the functional integrity of all ecosystems, including urban and agricultural ecosystems (Table1). Maintaining areas of largely intact natural ecosystems ...
A new study has concluded that the decline in Grauer’s gorillas in a sector of their main stronghold in the Democratic Republic of Congo was the result of the impacts of armed conflict, rather than the presence or absence of Indigenous communities. With the end of the Second Congo War in...
The atmosphere, the temperature, and the presence of water are all critical factors that have allowed life to thrive. The Earth's biodiversity is its greatest treasure, with each species playing a vital role in the delicate balance of ecosystems. Challenges Faced by the Earth Despite its ...
accurate spectral data after calibration, Lin et al. identified various types of hydrated minerals, providing mineralogical evidence for the presence of ancient underground water or shorelines in the northern lowlands of Mars. For details, see the article by Honglei LIN et al. on pages 2463–247...
The 'species recognition hypothesis' does not explain the presence and evolution of exaggerated structures in non-avialan dinosaurs The hypothesis that the exaggerated structures in various non-avialan dinosaurs (e.g. horns, crests, plates) primarily functioned in species recognition, a...

Building on an interest in the presence of biodiversity where we do not expect to find it, this essay ponders the irony that human strife can be beneficial for the rest of nature by investigating the coexistence of troubled humanity and untroubled nature at various places around the world. It...
The move would safeguard biodiversity, slow extinctions, and help maintain a steady climate, a leading group of conservationists say.
of these recently identified species in the metagenomes of ISS surfaces. Hence, an in-depth analysis was conducted on the metagenomes collected during seven different flight missions, consisting of 106 individual samples, to assess the presence and prevalence of the species. In addition, an ...
