Microbial Ecological Damping: A Multilevel Systems-Ecology Framework for Climate–Biodiversity Resilience

Climate change and biodiversity loss alter disturbance regimes, yet resilience frameworks often underresolve the microbial infrastructure through which disturbance is attenuated, transmitted, reorganized, or amplified. This Perspective analyzes that infrastructure across three di...

From Conatus to the War of Nature: Scarcity, Scientific Metaphors, and the Epistemic Rewriting of Biological Persistence

Biological persistence is both a biological and an epistemic problem: vocabularies of scarcity, struggle, competition, war, and survival make some dimensions of continuation especially easy to describe while leaving others less direct to articulate. This article reconstructs diff...
