Green solution to riparian pollution: Populus alba L. potential for phytoremediation and bioindication of PTEs along the Sava river [PDF]

Heliyon
This study addresses the potential of Populus alba L. for bioindication and phytoremediation of the contaminated lower part of the Sava River. The main objectives are to assess soil contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs: As, B, Cd, Cr, Cu ...

Ostracod Genetic Variability in Response to Lake Level‐Driven Salinity Dynamics in Nam Co, Central Tibetan Plateau, in the Past Two Millennia [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Sedimentary ancient DNA metabarcoding has revolutionized the reconstruction of past lake biodiversity, providing insights into species assemblages spanning thousands of years.

Dataset from RNAseq analysis of differential gene expression among developmental stages of two non-marine ostracodes [PDF]

Data in Brief
We contribute transcriptomic data for two species of Ostracoda, an early-diverged group of small-sized pancrustaceans. Data include new reference transcriptomes for two asexual non-marine species (Dolerocypris sinensis and Heterocypris aff.

Sub-fossil chironomids as indicators of hydrological changes in the shallow and high-altitude lake Shen Co, Tibetan Plateau, over the past two centuries

Journal of Limnology, 2022
Understanding climate and monsoonal dynamics on the Tibetan Plateau is crucial, as recent hydrological changes, evidenced by rising lake levels, will be accelerated by current global warming and may alter aquatic habitats and species inventories.

Diatom metabarcoding and microscopic analyses from sediment samples at Lake Nam Co, Tibet: The effect of sample-size and bioinformatics on the identified communities

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are characterized by silicified cell walls that favor their long-term preservation in sediments, therefore widely used as bioindicators of present and past water conditions.

A theoretical basis for bioindication in complex ecosystems

Ecological Indicators, 2022
With increasing levels of anthropogenic stress, monitoring the state of ecosystems or their pollution levels is of growing importance. Central to this is an information transfer that results in biotic factors reflecting the ecosystem’s condition or any ...

High‐throughput identification of non‐marine Ostracoda from the Tibetan Plateau: Evaluating the success of various primers on sedimentary DNA samples

Environmental DNA, 2021
Dwelling in a variety of aquatic habitats, one of the most abundant groups of microcrustaceans, ostracodes, are widely used indicator organisms in paleolimnological research.

Pollution of the Environment and Pollen: A Review

Stresses, 2022
Bioindication of the environment is one of the actively developing directions of ecology. Information about pollutants and the level of environmental pollution can be obtained as a result of studying the biological reaction of plants to pollution ...

Late Quaternary changes in moisture availability and weathering intensity on the central Tibetan Plateau indicated by chemical signatures of ostracod shells

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
High-resolution multi-proxy records from two lakes on the southern Tibetan Plateau, Nam Co and Tangra Yumco, are used to infer long-term variations in the Asian monsoon system with a novel set of ostracod shell chemistry proxies.

Compatibility of Diatom Valve Records With Sedimentary Ancient DNA Amplicon Data: A Case Study in a Brackish, Alkaline Tibetan Lake

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Lake sediments represent valuable and widely used archives for tracking environmental and biotic changes over time. Past aquatic communities are traditionally studied via morphological identification of the remains of organisms.
