Macrophytes as bioindicators [PDF]
River Systems, 2003 Submerged macrophytes respond to changes in the nutrient concentrations in their environment. In contrast to diatoms e.g., submerged macrophytes are capable of taking up nutrients from both the sediment pore water and the overlying water. Therefore, macrophytes can provide a more comprehensive assessment of river ecosystems. Two methods using submerged

Migratory Songbirds as Potential Ectozoochorous Protist Dispersal Vectors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe demonstrate that migratory songbirds carry diatoms (Bacillariophyta) in their plumage, revealing an unexpected avian–algal association. All seven bird specimens we examined contained diatoms—224 frustules representing 25 genera and 9 orders, primarily freshwater, benthic pennates—some retaining chloroplasts prior to digestion and mounting (implying ...

Lichens as biological indicators of air quality in the urban area of Kuršumlija (Southern Serbia) [PDF]
Kragujevac Journal of Science, 2017 In this work, we provided a first indication of Kuršumlija (town of Southern Serbia) air quality using epiphytic lichens known as bioindicators. The investigations were carried out from April to October 2014.

Sponges as bioindicators for microparticulate pollutants? [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2020 ABSTRACT Amongst other threats, the world’s oceans are faced with man-made pollution, including an increasing number of microparticulate pollutants. Sponges, aquatic filter-feeding animals, are able to incorporate fine foreign particles, and thus may be a potential bioindicator for microparticulate pollutants.
