Using network architecture to describe a biological system is an effective organizational method. The utility of this approach, which generally applies to qualitative models, is enhanced by the addition of quantitative models characterizing the interactions between network nodes. A chromatophore-based signal transduction network is developed, and the highly interconnected major...

The carbon system of the western Arctic Ocean is undergoing a rapid transition as sea ice extent and thickness decline. These processes are dynamically forcing the region, with unknown consequences for CO2 fluxes and carbonate mineral saturation states, particularly in the coastal regions where sensitive ecosystems are already under threat...
Habitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging
to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in
the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded
by a lack of key statistical or methodological information. Collating
primary datasets on biodiversity responses to fragmentation in...
