Spatiotemporal dynamics of complex ecological networks: Power-law scaling and implications for conservation planning
Spatial constraints on the topology of complex networks are just beginning to be appreciated, both theoretically and in concrete examples like the Internet and global air transportation network. Ec…

Microbial ecosystem constructed in water for successful organic hydroponics
Conventional hydroponics systems generally use only chemical fertilisers, not organic ones, since there are no microbial ecosystems present in such systems to mineralise organic compounds to inorga…

Increasing Insect Reactions in Alaska: Is this Related to Changing Climate?
During the summer of 2006, Fairbanks Alaska experienced its first two known cases of fatal anaphylaxis as a result of Hymenoptera stings, presumably from yellowjackets. An increase in insect bites …

Evidence of salt secretion at the stem of Melaleuca cuticularis Labill.
It has been observed that Melaleuca cuticularis Labill. has the ability to secrete salt solution to the surface of its stem. No literature has been found to illustrate other species’ capacity to …
