Microplastics (≤ 10 μm) bioaccumulation in marine sponges along the Moroccan Mediterranean coast: Insights into species-specific distribution and potential bioindication.

Environmental Research, 2023
Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive in marine environments and widely recognized as emerging environmental pollutants due to the multifaceted risks they exert on living organisms and ecosystems.

Fungi as environmental bioindicators

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Environmental bioindicators are species or communities of animals, plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, and planktons whose existence, quantity, and nature can be used to make inferences on the quality of the environment. Bioindicators can be used to detect environmental contaminants by on-site visual inspections or through laboratory analysis ...

Freshwater Mussels as Multifaceted Ecosystem Engineers: Insights into Their Ecological Importance, Bioindication, and Economic Contributions

Water
Freshwater mussels play a vital ecological role in aquatic ecosystems, serving as effective natural filters that enhance water quality by removing suspended particles and excess nutrients, thereby preventing eutrophication.

Bioindication: The I.A.P. Approach

2002
The symbiosis between algae and fungi enables lichens to colonise various apparently hostile places, like high mountains and deserts. However, the sensitive balance between the symbiotic partners can be easily disturbed, as lichens are generally sensitive to environmental alteration such as changes in air humidity (forestry, urbanisation) and air ...

Translocation, accumulation and bioindication of trace elements in wetland plants.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
This study aimed to shed further light on the capacity of macrophytes to translocate, accumulate and bioindicate the levels of trace elements present in contaminated water and sediments.

Bioindicators of enhanced nitrogen deposition

Environmental Pollution, 2003
Increased deposition of atmospheric N largely from intensive agriculture is affecting biodiversity and the composition of natural and semi-natural vegetation in Europe. The value of species based bioindicators such as the Ellenberg N index and measurements of total tissue N and free amino acids in key plant species, is described with reference to a ...

Insects as bioindicators

2023
Industrial revolution, intensive agriculture and growing human population are causing extensive exploitation of natural ecosystem which leads to advanced destruction process of land ecosystem. As ecosystem more complex and their biological communities, it is not easy to directly assess the health of natural environments.

Mahseer: A Bioindicator Teleost

UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2023
Mahseers, known as the king of rivers, are among the largest carp and a valuable group of freshwater fish in Asia. The word Mahseer has its origins in Bengal; the two root words, Maha, mean greatness and Seer, means mouth or head; literally, it means having a strong and large head. The range of these fish is across the entire Indian subcontinent. There
