A risk assessment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in swimming pools : a review by Rice, Scott A., Akker, Ben van den, Pomati, Francesco, Roser, David

“…This review was undertaken to identify the current understanding of risk factors associated with pool operation with respect to P. aeruginosa. The ecology and factors that promote growth of P. aeruginosa in the pool environment are complex and dynamic and so we applied a systematic risk assessment approach to integrate existing data, with the aim to improve pool management and safety. …”

Diauxic lags explain unexpected coexistence in multi‐resource environments by Bloxham, Blox, Lee, Hyunseok, Gore, Jeff

“…How the coexistence of species is affected by the presence of multiple resources is a major question in microbial ecology. We experimentally demonstrate that differences in diauxic lags, which occur as species deplete their own environments and adapt their metabolisms, allow slow‐growing microbes to stably coexist with faster‐growing species in multi‐resource environments despite being excluded in single‐resource environments. …”

Advancing nature-based solutions through enhanced soil health monitoring in the United Kingdom by Giuliani, LM, Warner, E, Campbell, GA, Lynch, J, Smith, AC, Smith, P

“…To address this, we propose a flexible, interdisciplinary approach combining soil science, ecology and socio-economic insights. We introduce an interactive tool to help users select suitable soil and biodiversity metrics which are context and scalespecific, and suggest avenues for future research. …”

Relational persistent homology for multispecies data with application to the tumor microenvironment by Stolz, BJ, Dhesi, J, Bull, JA, Harrington, HA, Byrne, HM, Yoon, IHR

“…Such heterogeneous data types arise in many contexts, ranging from biomedical imaging, geospatial analysis, to species ecology. Here, we propose two methods for encoding spatial relations among different data types that are based on Dowker complexes and Witness complexes. …”

Social wasps desert the colony and aggregate outside if parasitized: parasite manipulation? by Hughes, DP, Kathirithamby, J, Turillazzi, S, Beani, L

“…Hamilton, these aberrant aggregations are an overlooked phenomenon of the behavioral ecology of this intensively studied wasp. For 3 months in the summer of 2000, during the peak of colony development, we sampled 91 extranidal aggregations from seven areas, numbering 1322 wasps. …”

Animal social networks are robust to changing association definitions by Chan, AHH, Dunning, J, Beck, KB, Burke, T, Chik, HYJ, Dunleavy, D, Evans, T, Ferreira, A, Fourie, B, Griffith, SC, Hillemann, F, Schroeder, J

“…We urge researchers to carefully evaluate the ecological context of their study systems when making methodological decisions. …”

Highly variable freshwater reservoir offsets found along the Upper Lena watershed, Cis-Baikal, southeast Siberia by Schulting, R, Ramsey, CB, Bazaliiskii, VI, Weber, A

“…In contrast to previous studies centered on Lake Baikal and the Angara River, human stable nitrogen isotope values show little or no correlation with the radiocarbon offset, despite the clear trophic differences seen in δ¹⁵N between terrestrial and aquatic sources of protein in the region's isotope ecology. However, stable carbon isotope measurements show a moderate negative correlation of some predictive value (r = −0.70, p = 0.016, df = 10). …”
