(a) Describe the five major threats to the aquatic system. (b) Give examples. What is it about humans that so severely impact other species on earth, some even to the point of extinction? What is the difference between ecological diversity and biodiversity? What is the main reason so many...
Evaluating the impacts of land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes on ecosystem service values (ESVs) is essential for sustainable use and management of ecosystems. In this study, we evaluated the impact of human activity driven LULC changes on ESVs over the period 1982–2016/17 in contrasting agro...
Given the major physiologic impact of aldosterone action most notably during the critical neonatal period, it is essential to explore hormonal sensitivity at birth by means of precise and reliable biologic criteria. As one of the direct applications of this study, we propose that urinary aldosterone...

Here we report the profound and yet uncertain consequences of the human imprint on the phosphorus cycle and nitrogen:phosphorus stoichiometry for the structure, functioning and diversity of terrestrial and aquatic organisms and ecosystems. A mass balance approach is used to show that limited phosphorus...
The results obtained from the human DNA extracts were compared with each other and with the microbial DNA from the FACTS samples. Overall, we found that the presence of specific microbial taxa depends on the decomposition stage, the type of tissue, and the depositional environment. We found no...
