Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: current knowledge and future challenges

The ecological consequences of biodiversity loss have aroused considerable interest and controversy during the past decade. Major advances have been made in describing the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem processes, in…

Humans are altering the composition of biological communities through a variety of activities that increase rates of species invasions and species extinctions, at all scales, from local to global. These changes in components of the Earth's…

Since the last Cooley's symposium in 2005, our knowledge and clinical experience with deferasirox had advanced considerably. This has been based on prospective multicenter clinical trials, on a scale hitherto unprecedented for chelation therapy, now…

Recent experiments have provided some evidence that loss of biodiversity may impair the functioning and sustainability of ecosystems. However, we still lack adequate theories and models to provide robust generalizations, predictions, and…

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has emerged as a major scientific issue today. As experiments progress. there is a growing need for adequate theories and models to provide robust interpretations and generalisations of…

Two decades of intensive research have provided compelling evidence for a link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (B-EF). Whereas early B-EF research concentrated on species richness and single processes, recent studies have investigated…

There is substantial evidence supporting the adjuvant usage of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in the treatment of postmenopausal women with early breast cancer. However, the exacerbation of postmenopausal gynaecological symptoms such as vaginal dryness…
