Pangaea II – The Project of the Global Age
What is the difference between a model and a metanarrative? This is not the opening line of a humorist but a serious question. According to some, a metanarrative is “a story about a story, encompassing and explaining other ‘little stories’ within conceptual models that make the stories into a whole.”[1] If this explanation is correct then there is no difference between a model and a metanarrati...
متن کاملThe New Global History Toward a Narrative for Pangaea Two
The author approaches contemporary history from a position that defines the expression “truly global” as earth-centered. On this ground, two kinds of global history can be distinguished: the non-linear geophysical history of first nature, which is alternately uniting and dividing the world-continent (called Pangaea One), and the revolutionary technoscientific history of second nature, which is ...
متن کاملBiogeography of the Global Ocean’s Mesopelagic Zone
The global ocean's near surface can be partitioned into distinct provinces on the basis of regional primary productivity and oceanography [1]. This ecological geography provides a valuable framework for understanding spatial variability in ecosystem function but has relevance only partway into the epipelagic zone (the top 200 m). The mesopelagic (200-1,000 m) makes up approximately 20% of the g...
متن کاملGlobal biogeography of SAR11 marine bacteria
The ubiquitous SAR11 bacterial clade is the most abundant type of organism in the world's oceans, but the reasons for its success are not fully elucidated. We analysed 128 surface marine metagenomes, including 37 new Antarctic metagenomes. The large size of the data set enabled internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions to be obtained from the Southern polar region, enabling the first global cha...
متن کاملGlobal biogeography of human infectious diseases.
The distributions of most infectious agents causing disease in humans are poorly resolved or unknown. However, poorly known and unknown agents contribute to the global burden of disease and will underlie many future disease risks. Existing patterns of infectious disease co-occurrence could thus play a critical role in resolving or anticipating current and future disease threats. We analyzed the...
