Tropical forest clearance impacts biodiversity and function whereas logging changes structure by Marsh, C, Turner, EG, Blonder, BW, Hemprich-Bennett, D, Riutta, T, Slade, EM, Lewis, O, Hector, A

“…We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conversion of tropical forest to oil palm from a large-scale study in Borneo, synthesizing responses from 82 variables categorized into four ecological levels spanning a broad suite of ecosystem properties: (i) structure and environment, (ii) species traits, (iii) biodiversity, and (iv) ecosystem functions. …”

Fair division for avoidance of biodiversity impacts by Booth, H, Milner-Gulland, E, Bang, A, Bull, J, Moreno-Ternero, JD, Squires, D

Neap-spring tidal effects on dissolved oxygen in two Malaysian estuaries by Nelson, Bruce W., Sasekumar, A., Ibrahim, Zelina Z.

“…These oxygen minima are attributed to the high oxygen demand of sediment that rests on the bottom during neap tides and is resuspended during spring tides. The ecological effects of tidal cycling patterns of dissolved oxygen in these Malaysian estuaries need further study, within the context of land use patterns and other human activities.…”

Plasmid-Borne Biosynthetic Gene Clusters within a Permanently Stratified Marine Water Column by Mara, Paraskevi, Geller-McGrath, David, Suter, Elizabeth, Taylor, Gordon T., Pachiadaki, Maria G., Edgcomb, Virginia P.

“…These identified genes encode for secondary metabolites that are mainly antimicrobial agents, and hence, their uptake via plasmids may increase the competitive advantage of those host taxa that acquire them. The ecological and evolutionary significance of smBGCs carried by prokaryotes in oxygen-depleted water columns is yet to be fully elucidated.…”
