Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs), plastic particles and fibers with sizes ranging from nanometers (≥ 1 nm) to micrometers (≤ 5 mm) ...

While their impact on marine ecosystems has been widely studied, research on the effects of microplastics on land is lacking.

Adding to the body of scientific literature on the fast escalating antibiotic resistance crisis is a study published by ...

This important study provides empirical evidence of the effects of genetic diversity and species diversity on ecosystem functions across multi-trophic levels in an aquatic ecosystem. The support for ...

Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs), plastic particles and fibers with sizes ranging from nanometers (≥ 1 nm) to micrometers (≤ 5 mm) have become emerging ...

Stable isotope analysis of elements such as carbon, nitrogen and sulphur is used in ecology to trace the flow of nutrients through food webs and assess trophic levels. In the Bolivian Amazon ...

While the oceans are now safe from the Megatooth, which went extinct an estimated 3.5 million years ago, Otodus megalodon has been revealed by new research to have occupied a higher position on the ...

Over a period of 33 days, the researchers monitored the effects of alkalinization on zooplankton, which plays a key role in transferring energy through the food web up to fish. A range of ...

Since the introduction of invasive zebra mussels in the Midwest in the late 1980s, the full extent of their impact on aquatic ecosystems and food webs has been largely unknown. A new study, published ...

Chopping, slicing and shredding ingredients can take a lot of time, but with a food processor, it can be a much faster task. These kitchen appliances blend, chop, shred, grind, and even make ice ...

"The ice-sealed planktonic and benthic microbiota of Lake Enigma likely represent persistent legacy biota that arose from the lake’s ancient microbial ecosystem before the freeze-up," the study ...
