Abstract:
AbstractSeveral crustacean groups have produced extensive species flocks in ancient lakes. However, except for the Amphipoda in Lake Baikal, crustacean diversity per se is not significantly higher in ancient lakes than in non-marine aquatic habitats in general. Yet the degree of endemicity in such long-lived habitats is certainly higher in these crustacean groups than in the average of noncrustacean groups. Causality must thus be sought in the evolutionary biology, rather than in the ecology of the groups at issue. Several potential, intrinsic factors, possibly promoting speciation, have been cited, but thus far no singular cause for high crustacean endemicity in ancient lakes could be demonstrated. Plusieurs groupes de crustaces ont produit de vastes ensembles d'especes dans les lacs anciens. Cependant, excepte pour les amphipodes du lac Baikal, la diversite des crustaces en elle-meme n'est pas significativement plus grande dans les lacs anciens que dans les habitats aquatiques nonmarins en general. Pourtant, le degre d'endemisme dans des habitats habites de si longue date est certainement plus eleve dans les groupes de crustaces que dans la moyenne des groupes non crustaces. La cause doit alors etre recherchee dans la biologie evolutive, plutot que dans l'ecologie des groupes concernes. Plusieurs facteurs potentiels, intrinseques, pouvant induire la speciation, ont ete cites, mais pour l'instant, aucune cause particuliere n'a pu etre etablie pour expliquer l'endemisme crustaceen superieur dans les lacs anciens.

Abstract:
This paper states six ecological thoughts and concepts in ancient China by exploring and analyzing Chinese traditional festivals and festival systems from three aspects, including the relevance between festival systems and traditional agriculture (human and nature,Natural Ecology); the relationship between the people embodied in the ancient traditional festival (interpersonal harmony,Humanistic Ecology); and the Chinese religions involved with conventional ceremonial ritual (Harmony-Integration). This article reveals that a close study of ancient Chinese ecological thoughts has vital significance to construct a harmonious society in China and solve the present ecological crisis.

Abstract:
Starting four decades ago, studies have examined the ecology and evolutionary dynamics of populations and species using short mitochondrial DNA fragments and stable isotopes. Through technological and analytical advances, the methods and biomolecules at our disposal have increased significantly to now include lipids, whole genomes, proteomes, and even epigenomes. At an unprecedented resolution, the study of ancient biomolecules has made it possible for us to disentangle the complex processes that shaped the ancient faunal diversity across millennia, with the potential to aid in implicating probable causes of species extinction and how humans impacted the genetics and ecology of wild and domestic species. However, even now, few studies explore interdisciplinary biomolecular approaches to reveal ancient faunal diversity dynamics in relation to environmental and anthropogenic impact. This review will approach how biomolecules have been implemented in a broad variety of topics and species, from the extinct Pleistocene megafauna to ancient wild and domestic stocks, as well as how their future use has the potential to offer an enhanced understanding of drivers of past faunal diversity on Earth.

Abstract:
Currently tourism, regeneration and reconstruction occur in the ancient city protection and gets hot, so protection of the ancient city becomes a research focus. This article regards the ancient city as a big ecosystem including old buildings, layout idea and cultural customs after analysis of a large number of cases. As people redefine the residency requirements, the original ecology of the ancient city has been difficult to meet the requirements of people in functionality, safety, convenience and other aspects. How to enhance the adaptability of the ancient city? For example, it needs to meet the requirements of modern society development, to adapt to the needs of modern people's lives, to adapt to the modern climate characteristics.

Full text
Abstract:
How the ancient Maya of the central Yucatecan Lowlands managed their water and land resources remains poorly known, although crucial to an understanding of ancient political economy. Recent archival research and field data suggest the widespread use of artificially altered, natural depressions for the collection and containment of water, both for potable consumption and agricultural ends. During the Classic period (A. D. 250-900) several of the principal cities in the Maya area constructed their largest architecture and monuments at the summit of hills and ridges. Associated with these elevated centers—”water mountains”—were sizable, life-sustaining reservoirs quarried into their summits. The effect of this town-planning design was the centralization of a primary and fundamental resource. Although elite managers controlled the water source, other decentralizing forces prevented anything similar to Wittfogel's “total power.” However, by ritually appropriating the everyday and mundane activities associated with water by the sustaining population, elites used high-performance water ritual as manifest in the iconography to further centralize control. The significance of modifying the urban landscape in the partial image of the ordinary water hole defines the extraordinary in Maya ritual.

Full text
Abstract:
We studied Ancient Murrelets (Synthliboramphus antiquus) in coastal areas near Victoria, British Columbia, by means of small-boat transects and collected birds to examine stomach contents and body weights during the winters of 1977–1979. The diet was composed almost entirely of adult Euphausia pacifica, except in November 1978, when herring were also common. Numbers of murrelets recorded on the water per kilometre travelled correlated with tidal amplitude, suggesting that tidal mixing affected prey availability. Body weights were high compared with those of breeding birds, peaking in January, when stomachs contained the maximum number of prey organisms. Dives were brief. Feeding intensity, or food availability, may reach a maximum in midwinter.

Abstract:
The ancient city of Langzhong is one of the four famous old cities. The development of the ancient city is faced with the problem of ensuring unique and innovative development while maintaining its value. Based on the theory of resilient urban development life system it is starting from the current situation of the ancient city of Langzhong, such as the fading of cultural and tourism characteristic industries, the weakening of regional cultural heritage, the danger to the ecological environment and the fragmentation of traditional streets and lanes, a set of internal growth value dynamics and The dynamic mechanism of ancient town revival that externally affects thrust synthesis. Finally, a resilient development strategy for the revitalisation of Langzhong Ancient City is proposed from the five levels of economy, culture, space, ecology and system.

Abstract:
The ancient DNA revolution of the past 35 years has driven an explosion in the breadth, nuance, and diversity of questions that are approachable using ancient biomolecules, and plant research has been a constant, indispensable facet of these developments. Using archaeological, paleontological, and herbarium plant tissues, researchers have probed plant domestication and dispersal, plant evolution and ecology, paleoenvironmental composition and dynamics, and other topics across related disciplines. Here, we review the development of the ancient DNA discipline and the role of plant research in its progress and refinement. We summarize our understanding of long-term plant DNA preservation and the characteristics of degraded DNA. In addition, we discuss challenges in ancient DNA recovery and analysis and the laboratory and bioinformatic strategies used to mitigate them. Finally, we review recent applications of ancient plant genomic research.

Abstract The prospects for application of metagenomic technologies in environmental studies are discussed. The advantages in investigating the taxonomic composition of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, as well as examples of trophic and phoric relationships found in ecosystems using the metagenomic approach, are described. The capabilities of metagenomics to study prokaryotic communities in complicated environments such as soils or animal intestines are shown. The role of relic DNA in the metagenome and the possibilities to study ancient organisms are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to the criticism of metagenomic technologies related to the low reproducibility of the sequencing data. Common methodological mistakes in bioinformatics processing of metagenomic data leading to misleading results are considered.

Abstract:
The Cliff Ecology Research Group (CERG), Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, has been in existence since 1985 when its members began working on the ecology of the Niagara Escarpment (fig. 1). In 1988 they discovered a stand of ancient trees growing on the cliffs and in 1989 they discovered that in fact the escarpment cliffs support the oldest and least disturbed forest ecosystem in Canada. Individual living trees older than 1,300 years are still present and the forest appears to be in steady state. CERG's work on the ancient trees led to the idea that cliffs serve as refuges for many species including ancient humans. That observation led to the development of the Urban Cliff Hypothesis that is described in this paper and was presented at the international symposion on " The Natural City, " Toronto, 23-25 June, 2004, sponsored by the University of Toronto's Division of the Environment, Institute for Environmental Studies, and the World Society for Ekistics, and also led to the recent book entitled The Urban Cliff Revolution.

Abstract:
Humans and the diverse ecosystems we inhabit face numerous sustainability challenges due to climate change, rising seas, population growth, overfishing, natural habitat destruction, accelerating extinctions, and more. As an interdisciplinary paradigm that leverages both natural and social sciences to better understand linkages between humans and the environment, sustainability science focuses on how these connections shape understandings of and approaches to sustainability challenges. Here, we argue that archaeology and historical ecology are essential components of sustainability science. We view sustainability as a long-term process where historical sciences are critical to effectively measuring where we stand today and modeling future trajectories based on the baselines from the past that archaeology and historical ecology provide. We demonstrate that islands around the world are central to this endeavor because they serve as model systems that can capture the timing of human arrival, subsequent effects of cultural behaviors on pristine environments, and how humans adapted, survived, and often thrived for centuries or millennia. These cases provide important lessons about human responses in the past to similar challenges that we now currently face. In the uncertain futures of the Anthropocene, such historical baselines will contribute significantly to scientific approaches for building more resilient and sustainable societies.

The field of palaeomicrobiology is dramatically expanding thanks to recent advances in high-throughput biomolecular sequencing, which allows unprecedented access to the evolutionary history and ecology of human-associated and environmental microbes. Recently, human dental calculus has been shown to be an abundant, nearly ubiquitous, and long-term reservoir of the ancient oral microbiome, preserving not only microbial and host biomolecules but also dietary and environmental debris. Modern investigations of native human microbiota have demonstrated that the human microbiome plays a central role in health and chronic disease, raising questions about changes in microbial ecology, diversity and function through time. This paper explores the current state of ancient oral microbiome research and discusses successful applications, methodological challenges and future possibilities in elucidating the intimate evolutionary relationship between humans and their microbes.
