Distribution of heavy metals in sediments of Igbede, Ojo and Ojora rivers of Lagos, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The distribution of some heavy metals, namely Cd, Pb, Zn, Fe, Cu, Cr and Mn in epipellic sediments of Igbede, Ojo and Ojora rivers of Lagos was studied weekly in the early summer (November) of 2003.

Associated fauna of the fan shell Pinna nobilis (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in the northern and eastern Tunisian coasts

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2009
Epifaunal communities associated with the fan shell Pinna nobilis Linnaeus, 1758 along the Tunisian coastline were investigated. Both univariate and multivariate analysis were done at different spatial scales within five populations located at different ...

Up and away: ontogenic transference as a pathway for aerial dispersal of microplastics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants found in marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. With so many MPs in aquatic systems it is inevitable that they will be ingested by aquatic organisms, and be transferred up through the food chain ...

Coronaviruses in Aquatic Organisms

open access: yes, 2016
Members of the family Coronaviridae are evolutionarily related and play an important role in human and veterinary medicine. Taxonomic classification is based on the ultrastructure and morphogenesis of viral particles and on biochemical and molecular features. The family Coronaviridae belongs to the order Nidovirales, and is divided into two subfamilies:

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

A Multigene Perspective on the Phylogeny and Evolutionary Relationships of Class Spirotrichea (Ciliophora)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Despite extensive research, evolutionary relationships within the class Spirotrichea remain contentious due to limitations of single‐gene phylogenies and sparse molecular data.

Molecular biomarkers and toxic consequences of impact by organic pollution in aquatic organisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Organic contaminants are readily bioaccumulated by aquatic organisms. Exposure to and toxic effects of contaminants can be measured in terms of the biochemical responses of the organisms (i.e. molecular biomarkers).

Assessment of trace element accumulation on the Tunisian coasts using biochemical biomarkers in Perinereis cultrifera

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2021
Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of trace element pollution in the polychaete Perinereis cultrifera (Grube, 1840) from two Tunisian coasts (the port of Rades, S1; and the Punic port of Carthage, S2).
