Insect herbivory on native and exotic aquatic plants: phosphorus and nitrogen drive insect growth and nutrient release [PDF]

, 2016
Eutrophication and globalisation facilitate the dominance of exotic plants in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Aquatic omnivores can provide biotic resistance to plant invasions, but little is known about whether obligate aquatic herbivores can do the same.

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Aquatic vascular plants of palo verde national park, Costa Rica (ESP)

Uniciencia, 1986
A study of the aquatic plants of palo Verde National park, Costa Rica, was undertaken during the rainy season of 1984. The swamp habitat is transitory, disappearing during the dry season, leaving only a few pools. The aquatic vegetation consists of a

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.
