Fostering landscape immunity to protect human health: A science‐based rationale for shifting conservation policy paradigms by Jamie K. Reaser, Brooklin E. Hunt, Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena, Gary M. Tabor, Jonathan A. Patz, Daniel J. Becker, Harvey Locke, Peter J. Hudson, Raina K. Plowright

“…We provide a landscape immunity primer for policy makers and make the case for “world views” that place Homo sapiens within ecological systems, regard human health as an ecological service, prioritize investments in prevention, and apply ecological restoration to human health goals. Crisis is a conversation starter for reimagining and recommitting ourselves to what is most vital and generative. …”

An Assessment of the Security of China’s Natural Gas Supply System Using Two Network Models by Mingqi Zhang, Meirong Su, Weiwei Lu, Chunhua Su

“…The gap between the demand and supply of natural gas, domestically, and China’s high dependence on foreign sources, highlights the importance of ensuring a secure system for supplying natural gas in the country. This study applied ecological network analysis, a powerful systems-oriented method, to simulate interactions between different nodes of the natural gas supply system and to evaluate the system’s security level. …”

Applying Trait-Based Modeling to Achieve Functional Targets during the Ecological Restoration of an Arid Mine Area by Jian Hou, Menghan Wu, Haobo Feng

“…This restoration strategy connected the ecosystem function targets to the appropriate recovery species and their required abundances. (3) Results: The results showed that a relative abundance ratio of 8:2 for S. grandis to B. dasyphylla was best for a shady slope, while a 6:4 ratio of K. tragus to B. dasyphylla was best for repair on a sunny slope of the degraded mine area. (4) Conclusion: This study provides a typical example of applying ecological theory in practice that will be useful for current and future studies and applications. …”

Interactions within the microbiome alter microbial interactions with host chemical defences and affect disease in a marine holobiont by Longford, Sharon Rae, Steinberg, Peter David, Campbell, Alexandra H., Nielsen, Shaun, Case, Rebecca J., Kjelleberg, Staffan

“…However, we know very little about how interactions between microorganisms within microbiomes - of humans or marine organisms – affect host health and there is no underpinning theoretical framework for exploring this. We applied ecological models of succession to bacterial communities to understand how interactions within a seaweed microbiome affect the host. …”
