Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography, linking individual- and population-level processes to geographic distributions and biodiversity patterns. Problems in evolutionary ecology, macroecology, and biogeography are illuminated by this integrative view. The book focuses on correlative approaches known as ecological niche modeling, species distribution modeling, or habitat suitability modeling, which use associations between known occurrences of species and environmental variables to identify environmental conditions under which populations can be maintained. The spatial distribution of environments suitable for the species can then be estimated: a potential distribution for the species. This approach has broad applicability to ecology, evolution, biogeography, and conservation biology, as well as to understanding the geographic potential of invasive species and infectious diseases,



and the biological implications of climate change. The authors lay out conceptual foundations and general principles for understanding and interpreting species distributions with respect to geography and environment. Focus is on development of niche models. While serving as a guide for students and researchers, the book also provides a theoretical framework to support future progress in the field.

Sommario/riassunto

This book is an open access under a CC BY license. The subject of this book relates to protein ligands with particular structural and complexation properties. They are composed of self-assembled molecules, capable of penetrating as a unit into proteins outside the binding site. The ribbon-like supramolecular system only permits the penetration of self-assembled molecules into the protein-body and formation of stable complexes. Supramolecular Congo red and similar compounds fit these requirements. Destabilized protein fragments enable the penetration of such ligands, with susceptibility to supramolecular ligand binding often associated with protein function. As a result, complexation modifies their functional effects. The activity of enzymes is inhibited by arresting them in the complexed state, but “naturally irreversible” complexation as in the case of immune complexation, is enhanced instead. This property offers many attractive possibilities of using supramolecular ligands as described in this book.

Sommario/riassunto

Wann immer wir mit anderen zusammenkommen, befinden wir uns wie selbstverständlich in Kopräsenz. Aber was genau bedeutet es, »zusammen« zu sein? Erfordert es immer physische Anwesenheit oder ist Kopräsenz auch anders möglich? Angesichts des rasanten Wandels moderner Kommunikationstechnologien räumt Heiko Hausendorf mit einigen Mythen auf und wirft einen Blick auf die Entstehung und die Zukunft von Kopräsenz. Diese ist konstitutiv für die Menschwerdung und bildet bis heute den Nährboden für die Entstehung von Sprache – was die Beschäftigung mit Kopräsenz auch weit über die Linguistik hinaus für alle interessant macht, die sich für soziale Interaktion interessieren.
