Tipping elements in the human intestinal ecosystem.

abstract：:Urbanisation is an important global driver of biodiversity change, negatively impacting some species groups whilst providing opportunities for others. Yet its impact on ecosystem services is poorly investigated. Here, using a replicated experimental design, we test how Central European cities impact flying insects and...

This concept is well established for coding genes; however, non-coding regions are thought less likely to be determinants of critical functions.
