Abstract:

Neutral and niche processes are generally considered to interact in natural communities along a continuum, exhibiting community patterns bounded by pure neutral and pure niche processes. The continuum concept uses niche separation, an attribute of the community, to test the hypothesis that communities are bounded by pure niche or pure neutral conditions. It does not accommodate interactions via feedback between processes and the environment. By contrast, we introduce the Community Assembly Phase Space (CAPS), a multi-dimensional space that uses community processes (such as dispersal and niche

Abstract:

Ecological approaches to community assembly have emphasized the interplay between neutral processes, niche-based environmental filtering and niche-based species sorting in an interactive milieu. Recently, progress has been made in terms of aligning our vocabulary with conceptual advances, assessing how trait-based community functional parameters differ from neutral expectation and assessing how traits vary along environmental gradients. Experiments have confirmed the influence of these processes on assembly and have addressed the role of dispersal in shaping local assemblages. Community phylog

To illustrate this method, the repeated emergence of specialized reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ) hunting/herding economies during the Late Palaeolithic ( ca 14.7–11.5 kyr BP) in southern Scandinavia is analysed from a niche c

The tremendous potential of the plant microbiome to improve plant growth and production means that microbes are in the process of becoming an everyday tool in agronomic practices. However, historically field applications of microbes have had low success. We propose that development and optimization of microbiome treatments will benefit from the integration of ecological and evolutionary niche theory into plant microbiome studies. Thus, we review several niche-based processes that can aid in the development and implementation of microbiome treatments. Current predictive approaches include evolu

This article is an attempt to look into the processes involved in achieving full system transition to a circular economy (CE) through the development of niche activities. Based on a case study relating to a community renewable energy (CRE) niche, the article argues that for transition to take hold and make progress, the socio-technical regimes underpinning the system of a linear economy would need to be disrupted through the agency of niches that bring forth radical innovations across a spectrum of activities.

Understanding the processes maintaining species diversity is a central problem in ecology, with implications for the conservation and management of ecosystems. Although biologists often assume that trait differences between competitors promote diversity, empirical evidence connecting functional traits to the niche differences that stabilize species coexistence is rare. Obtaining such evidence is critical because traits also underlie the average fitness differences driving competitive exclusion, and this complicates efforts to infer community dynamics from phenotypic patterns.

The stem cell niche interacts extensively with the immune and non-immune components of the tumour microenvironment. Significant pathways associated with the cancer stem cell niche have been identified which interfere with the immune component of the tumour microenvironment, leading to im

Corneal failure is a highly prevalent cause of blindness. One special cause of corneal failure occurs due to malfunction or destruction of the limbal stem cell niche, upon which the superficial cornea depends for homeostatic maintenance and wound healing. Failure of the limbal niche is referred to as limbal stem cell deficiency. As the corneal epithelial stem cell niche is easily accessible, limbal stem cell-based therapy and regenerative medicine applied to the ocular surface are among the most highly advanced forms of this novel approach to disease therapy.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the development of a bioplastics innovation niche as an important sector of the bio-based economy and a viable solution to promote sustainable long-term growth. Relying on the Strategic Niche Management framework, the following niche mechanisms are analysed: (1) convergence of expectations, (2) learning processes, and (3) networking with powerful actors in the sector. We conducted a comparative analysis, looking at Italy and Germany, two frontrunner countries in the bioplastic production who have enacted divergent policies in support of this sector. Th

Abstract Abstract 760 Recent insights into the molecular and cellular processes that drive leukemia have called attention to the limitations intrinsic to traditional drug discovery approaches. To date, the majority of cell-based functional screens have relied on probing cell lines in vitro in isolation to identify compounds that decrease cellular viability. The development of novel therapeutics with greater efficacy and decreased toxicity will require the identification of small molecules that selectively target leukemia stem cells (LSCs) within the context of their microenvironment, while spa

Abstract Aims We aimed at disentangling the effects of spatial distance, current and past environmental dissimilarity, and their combinations on tree community taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover by addressing the following questions: (i) Is tree community taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover related to the indirect effects of spatial distance via environmental dissimilarity? (ii) Does tree community taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover respond to paleoclimate (Last Glacial Maximum and Mid-Holocene)? Methods The study was carried out in 14 Atlantic rainforest sites in Brazil (20.4 ha sampled) co

Abstract:

To explain diversity in forests, niche theory must show how multiple plant species coexist while competing for the same resources. Although successional processes are widespread in forests, theoretical work has suggested that differentiation in successional strategy allows only a few species stably to coexist, including only a single shade tolerant. However, this conclusion is based on current niche models, which encode a very simplified view of plant communities, suggesting that the potential for niche differentiation has remained unexplored. Here, we show how extending successional niche mod

Abstract:

How biological communities are assembled is an old but lively debate, especially today, as the efficiency of conservation policies depend on our capacity to correctly identify the assembly processes at play within the species assemblages we aim to protect. The wide range of assembly modes, once seen as mutually exclusive hypothesis are now seen as part of a continuum where the opposite ends correspond to niche- and dispersal-assembly perspectives. Niche-assembled communities are closed and balanced with a stable taxonomic composition depending on deterministic processes when dispersal-assemble

Abstract Background: The spatial organization of cell populations within tissues is crucial for maintaining physiological function and understanding the mechanisms underlying various diseases. Proteins are the functional components that drive essential processes such as tissue homeostasis, disease progression, and therapeutic response. Spatial proteomics integrates molecular profiling with cellular location data, offering a powerful approach to decode these mechanisms. Here, we present an innovative spatial proteomics (SP) tool that combines widely adopted methodologies in biological research,

Most of the assumptions on the motivation to visit museums are based on the idea of museums and/or exhibitions as learning spaces. The evaluation of audience experiences concerning the Identity on the line exhibitions, dealing with seven different migration processes that took place over the last hundred years in Europe, goes beyond learning and cognitive aspects of audience research and, in line with the affective turn in museums, addresses the feelings evoked by the exhibition. The results of the evaluation show the potential exhibitions have as agents of empathy and resilience.In order to i

This scientific paper delves into the analysis of the feasibility of replacing the standard burners of the GM-50 boiler (E-50-3.9-440GM) with jet-niche technology-based burners (JNT). The study was conducted using the ANSYS Student software package. Numerical modeling allowed us to analyze in detail the process of fuel combustion in a steam boiler, assess its efficiency and determine the impact on environmental factors. The object of the study is the processes that occur during the combustion of gaseous fuel and their impact on the performance of the GM-50 power boiler. The subject of the stud
