Freshwater biodiversity: Importance, threats, status and conservation challenges

Article Abstract:

The special features of freshwater habitats and the biodiversity they support that makes them especially vulnerable to human activities is explored. The threats to global freshwater biodiversity, which has resulted in population declines and range reduction of freshwater biodiversity worldwide, is documented.

A review of the relationships between human population density and biodiversity

Article Abstract:

A study on relationships between human population density and biodiversity change is presented to explore the impacts of increasing human numbers on nature. The impact can be measured by the interacting factors of population size, consumption, and the methods used for resource acquisition.

Emergent properties from organisms to ecosystems: Towards a realistic approach

Article Abstract:

Emergent properties of real systems can be used as a basis for a new, neither reductionist nor holistic, approach to understand the complexity of ecological systems. Three systems, termed as BUBBLEs, WAVEs and CRYSTALs, are identified as exhibiting emergent properties.
