High-throughput analysis of ammonia oxidiser community composition via a novel, amoA-based functional gene array.

Advances in microbial ecology research are more often than not limited by the capabilities of available methodologies. Aerobic autotrophic nitrification is one of the most important and well studied microbiological processes in terrestrial ...

Seasonal variation of pesticides and associated risks in Guangdong's drinking water sources

Pesticides are essential for crop protection and agricultural yield enhancement. However, their entry into water bodies, particularly drinking water sources, poses threats to human health and aquatic ecosystems. The seasonal variation, and ...

Identifying Key Factors Associated with the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Fish Assemblages in Subtropical River-Type Reservoir Ecosystems: Implications for Fishery Management and Conservation

Characterizing the spatiotemporal patterns of fish communities in subtropical river-type reservoirs provides useful baseline information for fisheries stewardship and aquatic ecosystem monitoring. This work investigated fish assemblages acr...

Implications of climate change on freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity

Global warming is a phenomenon whereby the planet's exposure to the sun's radiation worsens from the high emission of gasses believed to trap heat within the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the leading greenhouse gas majorly responsible...

Distribution of zooplankton biomass in the Shatt Al-Arab River and Shatt Al-Basra Canal, Southern Iraq

Zooplankton is the important component of aquatic ecosystems. These organisms are important biological indicator of water quality of aquatic ecosystem due to their response to the environmental changes. In this study, we investigated distri...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> Phylogenetic and Antimicrobial Pattern as an Indicator of Anthropogenic Impact on Threatened Freshwater Mussels

Freshwater bivalves are widely used as accumulation indicators and monitoring tools for assessing contaminant effects on different levels of biological integration. This pilot study aimed to explore the phylogenetic diversity of Escherichia...

Temperature orchestrates phytoplankton community and environment in mountain stream for enhancing resource use efficiency

Warming is a key factor influencing the function of the structure and function of phytoplankton communities. However, the impacts of temperature on phytoplankton resource use efficiency (RUE) in mountain rivers remain poorly understood. Her...

Impact of <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> Bioremediation and Selenium on Genotoxicity, Nephrotoxicity and Oxidative/Antioxidant Imbalance Induced by Polystyrene Nanoplastics in African Catfish (<i>Clarias gariepinus</i>)

Contamination of the environment with nano- and microplastic particles exerts a threatening impact on the aquatic ecosystems and sustainable catfish aquaculture. The presence of nanoplastics has been found to have a detrimental impact on bo...

Microplastic as a vector of heavy metals and chemicals in aquatic ecosystems

Microplastics (MPs) have become a symbol of modern life and their fate in the environment is an issue of great concern. MPs have attracted attention for their widespread distribution, especially in the aquatic ecosystems. MPs can act as a v...

SnowMapPy: An automated GEE Python tool for snow cover mapping and monitoring in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains

SnowMapPy is an open-source Python-based package developed to streamline the collection, processing, and analysis of MODIS snow cover data from Terra and Aqua satellites. By automating essential steps, including data clipping, reprojection,...

Highest methane concentrations in an Arctic river linked to local terrestrial inputs

Large amounts of methane (CH4) could be released as a result of the gradual or abrupt thawing of Arctic permafrost due to global warming. Once available, this potent greenhouse gas is emitted into the atmosphere or transported laterally int...
