    Hypolimnetic Hypoxia Increases the Biomass Variability and Compositional Variability of Crustacean Zooplankton Communities 

    Doubek, Jonathan P.; Campbell, Kylie L.; Lofton, Mary E.; McClure, Ryan P.; Carey, Cayelan C. (MDPI, 2019-10-19)
    In freshwater lakes and reservoirs, climate change and eutrophication are increasing the occurrence of low-dissolved oxygen concentrations (hypoxia), which has the potential to alter the variability of zooplankton seasonal ...

    Warming temperatures could expose more than 1.3 billion new people to Zika virus risk by 2050 

    Ryan, Sadie J.; Carlson, Colin J.; Tesla, Blanka; Bonds, Matthew H.; Ngonghala, Calistus N.; Mordecai, Erin A.; Johnson, Leah R.; Murdock, Courtney C. (2020-10-09)
    In the aftermath of the 2015 pandemic of Zika virus (ZIKV), concerns over links between climate change and emerging arboviruses have become more pressing. Given the potential that much of the world might remain at risk ...

    The effects of hypolimnetic anoxia on the diel vertical migration of freshwater crustacean zooplankton 

    Doubek, Jonathan P.; Campbell, Kylie L.; Doubek, Kaitlyn M.; Hamre, Kathleen D.; Lofton, Mary E.; McClure, Ryan P.; Ward, Nicole K.; Carey, Cayelan C. (Ecological Society of America, 2018-07)
    Lakes and reservoirs worldwide are increasingly experiencing depletion of dissolved oxygen (anoxia) in their bottom waters (the hypolimnion) because of climate change and eutrophication, which is altering the dynamics of ...

    The Role of Constructed Ecosystems in an Era of Rapid Culture 

    Cairns, John Jr. (Asian Journal of Experimental Sciences, 2007)
    Rapid climate change is causing ecological disequilibrium in many parts of the planet, which makes restoration of natural ecosystems to predisturbance conditions less probable. An alternative to restored ecosystems may be ...

    Adapting to Symptoms of Global Warming Rather Than Addressing the Cause 

    Cairns, John Jr. (Virginia Tech, 2006)
    In recent years, global warming has been ignored and scientists producing evidence supporting this hypothesis have been denigrated and even investigated. However, as irrefutable evidence showing that global warming was a ...

    Eco-ethics and the Biosphere 

    Cairns, John Jr. (Science and Society, 2012)
    Sustainable use of the planet is an attractive goal, especially concerning intergenerational ethics. However, a major ecological tipping point has been passed (e.g, melting glaciers) and, in the last three years, evidence ...

    Human Effects Upon Revolutionary Processes in the Biosphere 

    Cairns, John Jr. (National Academy of Sciences, 2011)
    Persuasive evidence indicates that the biosphere is experiencing a major biotic crisis and even if humankind ceases stress on natural systems, the crisis will most likely disrupt or alter the surviving ecosystems. The new ...

    Red Alert - Climate Change: This is the Last Chance 

    Cairns, John Jr. (Virginia Tech Research Magazine, 2008)
    Humankind has already passed the first climatic tipping point therefore engaging itself in a global experiment that has already reduced agricultural productivity. With the Artic ice melting 100 years ahead of IPCC prediction, ...

    Biospheric Feedback Loops and Rapid Global Climate Change 

    Cairns, John Jr. (National Academy of Sciences, 2010)
    A positive feedback loop makes an existing process speed up while a negative feedback loop decreases the impact of an existing process. A source emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases while a sink retain and stores. ...

    Eco-Ethics and Sustainablility Ethics to Protect the Biospheric Life Support System 

    Cairns, John Jr. (National Academy of Sciences, 2010)
    Eco-ethics, used in the local and regional context, are considered the essential foundation for sustainable use of the planet and consists of a series of value judgments to which humanity is committed. Sustainability ethics, ...
