Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) represents a promising technology for
wastewater nitrogen removal. Organics management is critical to achieving efficient and …

Over the past 20 years, major advances have clarified how ecological patterns inform theory,
and how in turn theory informs applied ecology. Also, there has been an increased …

This book deals with the analysis of the structure of complex networks by combining results
from graph theory, physics, and pattern recognition. The book is divided into two parts. 11 …

A central biological question is how natural organisms are so evolvable (capable of quickly
adapting to new environments). A key driver of evolvability is the widespread modularity of …

The human microbiome plays a key role in a wide range of host-related processes and has
a profound effect on human health. Comparative analyses of the human microbiome have …

In this review, it is our aim 1) to describe the high diversity in molecular and structural
antioxidant defenses against oxidative stress in animals, 2) to extend the traditional concept …

In any given cell, thousands of genes are expressed and work in concert to ensure the cell's
function, fitness, and survival. Each gene, in turn, must be expressed at the proper time and …

Evolution is the fundamental physical process that gives rise to biological phenomena. Yet it
is widely treated as a subset of population genetics, and thus its scope is artificially limited …

In their natural environments, microorganisms form complex systems of interactions.
Understating the structure and organization of bacterial communities is likely to have broad …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to cope with environmental variability, and
yet, despite its adaptive significance, phenotypic plasticity is neither ubiquitous nor infinite. In …
