environmental change
Research Article | Synthetic BiologySynthetic Symbiosis under Environmental DisturbancesThe power of synthetic biology is immense. Will it, however, be able to withstand the environmental pressures once released in the wild. As new technologies aim to do precisely the same, we use a much simpler model to test mathematically the effect of a changing environment on a synthetic biological system. We assume that the system is successful if it maintains proportions close to what we observe in the laboratory. Extreme deviations...
Special Issue Perspective | Ecological and Evolutionary ScienceUnderstanding Microbiome Stability in a Changing WorldMicrobiomes underpin biogeochemical processes, sustain the bases of food webs, and recycle carbon and nutrients. Thus, microbes are frontline players in determining ecosystem responses to environmental change.
