Prokaryotes that operate in higher temperature ranges—above 45℃—did not show such a response, but since they operate at such high temperatures to begin with, they are unlikely to be affected by climate change. Lead author of the new research, PhD student Thomas Smith said: "Importantly for...
terrestrial ice. As major emphasis has been placed on the cryosphere by the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report, this is a key time to understand the dynamics of these microbially-driven processes as well as whether there is a way to counteract the resulting n...
In addition, due to climate change and land degradation, pest species may become more abundant, with consequent losses in agricultural production and, thus, pesticide use is likely to intensify. Temperature variations and thermal extremes caused by climate change may have profound implications for ...
regulation of primary productivity, biomass decomposition, and maintenance of soil health [1,2]. Increasing evidence shows that soil biota is directly and indirectly impacted by climate change, population growth, agricultural intensification, and urbanization [1,3,4,5,6]. These activities...
They can help solve problems caused by climate change such as drought resilience GMOs will help feed the world. Despite these claims, there is a body of research that suggests otherwise. What are GMOs? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It is defined as “the genetic material has...
described how they were actively experiencing and adjusting to the effects of climate change. The presence of climate change further complicated matters by adding more contextual factors. A key finding of our study was the necessity of evaluating climate factors and creating adaptable programs to enhan...
It has been documented that some microorganisms that were recovered from the deep sea were affected by pressure reduction, and the measured activity of the indigenous deep-sea population of microorganisms decreased when they were removed from their original living environment [36]. Most importantly, ...
Find a disease that is caused by chromosomal mutations. When does the mutation occur? What chromosomes are affected? What are the consequences? How does human evolution relate to the susceptibility of disease? How might climate change alter the occurrence of...
selleck kinase inhibitor Subsequently, the frequencies of TCR variable and joining region genes were scarcely affected by BCG vaccination at the TCR or TCR loci. In contrast, the TCR and TCR repertoires of individuals were highly dynamic; a median percentage of 1% of TCRs and 6% of TCRs in ...
How can ocean salinity change? How does ocean acidification change water components? How do marine organisms cause deoxygenation? How are marine organisms affected by tides? How do marine organisms use iron? How are marine organisms affected by pollution?
