- 免疫学和微生物学
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
背景情况:
- 了解科学职业的消耗率对于劳动力的可持续性至关重要.
- 科学职业中的性别差异需要持续调查.
- 之前的研究表明,职业寿命可能存在基于性别的差异.
研究的目的:

- 调查生物学科职业吸引力的性别特异性.
- 从个人首次出版开始纵向跟踪职业发展轨迹.
主要方法:
- 基于队列和纵向研究的研究设计.
- 卡普兰-梅尔生存分析应用于大量科学家队列 (N=86,178).
- 在四个学科进行分析:农业/生物科学 (AGRI),生物化学/遗传学/分子生物学 (BIO),免疫学/微生物学 (IMMU) 和神经科学 (NEURO).
主要成果:
- 在生物化学,遗传学和分子生物学 (BIO) 中,仅有20%的女性在19年后仍然在科学中,而男性的比例更高.

Habitat Fragmentation
17.4K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Threats to Biodiversity
22.0K
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...

What is Conservation Biology?
18.3K
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.

What is Biodiversity?
27.0K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.
