What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

18.5K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Global Climate Change

24.6K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Biodiversity and Human Values

13.2K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

22.5K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Ecological Niches

All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

Bioremediation00:46

Bioremediation

19.3K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Bibliometrics
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Gender disparities persist in scientific publishing, with men historically holding more prominent roles and receiving greater recognition.
  • Previous research indicates men generally outperform women in publication counts, collaborations, and citation rates across various scientific fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between the gender representation of Editors-in-Chief (EiC) and Editorial Boards (EB) and the Impact Factor (IF) of environmental science journals (ESJ).
  • To determine if the gender of the EiC influences the gender equity within the EB.
  • To explore potential associations between gender proportions in journal leadership and journal impact.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 9,153 EiC and EB members from 39 top-tier environmental science journals listed in Web of Science.
  • Data collected for journals publishing at least 10,000 articles up to 2021.
  • Binary gender assignment and statistical analysis to assess correlations between gender representation and journal IF.

Main Results:

  • Women constituted 20% of EiC positions and 23% of EB members.
  • Female EiC and EB members were more prevalent in journals with IFs below the average.
  • No statistically significant correlation was observed between EiC gender representation and journal IF (p > 0.05).
  • The hypothesis that a female EiC is associated with greater EB gender equity was not supported (p = 0.3).
  • The hypothesis of no association between gender proportion and IF was accepted for journals with IF > 5 (p = 0.2) but rejected for journals with lower IFs.

Conclusions:

  • Journal leadership gender composition does not appear to directly correlate with the Impact Factor of environmental science journals.
  • The presence of female Editors-in-Chief does not significantly promote gender equity within Editorial Boards.
  • Further research is needed to understand the complex factors influencing gender representation and impact in scientific publishing.
