Fundamental innovation in conservation biology (about 2 hours ago)

by Professor_S.K.

This paper presents a fundamental innovation in conservation biology. The traditional concept in conservation biology is that these 2 things are the priorities: (1) conservation of species (genetic pool of all biological species); and (2) protection of habitats. The paper under review adds the important third thing to be protected: (3) normal functioning of the living organisms as components of ecosystem machinery.

The author, the award-winning researcher Dr. Sergei Ostroumov, discovered and described the third vital priority using an aquatic ecosystem as an example. He underlined the important role of the normal functioning of bivalve mollusks as water filters. By the water filtration, the mollusks contribute to water purification. The proper water quality is needed as a condition for survival of many other species of the aquatic ecosystem.

His experiments demonstrated that some chemical pollutants can affect and decrease water filtration activity of mollusks. Therefore, this vital function of bivalve mollusks and other filter-feeders needs attention and protection.

This paper is excellent, useful and recommended to all involved in applied ecology, protection of environment, and management of water resources.
