Dealing with Complexity – Knowledge, design, and management of the built environment by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…The ‘complexity’ of the Planet’s condition is evident: climate change, according to Amitav Ghosh (2017), is not a danger in itself but rather represents a ‘threat multiplier’ that stresses and amplifies the instability and insecurity already present in some areas of the world, even more so because many industrialised countries have already greatly exceeded their relative ‘biocapacity’, effectively becoming ‘ecological debtors’. In this view, ‘complex’ should be brought back to its etymological meaning of ‘woven’ or ‘held together’, connecting different forms of knowledge in the virtuous circle of a body of knowledge articulated in a systemic view of the real world based on the principle of ‘co-evolution’ of social and ecological systems (of culture and nature) and the awareness that it determines; on the one hand, the interweaving of multiple causal chains (e.g., although the pandemic crisis is a health crisis it has also become a biological, ecological, economic, social, cultural and spiritual crisis) with interdependent effects, and on the other hand, effects that also retroact on causes since causality is circular. …”

The chromosome-level genome provides insights into the adaptive evolution of the visual system in Oratosquilla oratoria by Daizhen Zhang, Xiaoli Sun, Lianfu Chen, Lianyu Lin, Chijie Yin, Wenqi Yang, Jun Liu, Qiuning Liu, Huabin Zhang, Senhao Jiang, Yongxin Li, Boping Tang, Gang Wang

“…Compared with other crustaceans, O. oratoria has evolved a thicker cornea that was possibly driven by visual adaptations and ecological requirements. Employing comparative transcriptome analysis, we identified a tandemly duplicated cuticle protein (CP) cluster that was specifically expanded and expressed in the ocular tissues of O. oratoria, potentially contributing to the thick cornea of O. oratoria. …”
