Soil and Sediment Organisms as Bioindicators of Pollution
EcologiesThis review examines the role of soil and sediment organisms as bioindicators in environmental pollution assessment. As fundamental elements of terrestrial ecosystems, soils harbour a rich and diverse biodiversity that plays a key role in regulating ...

Do We Need to Use Bats as Bioindicators?
Biology, 2021 Bats show responses to anthropogenic stressors linked to changes in other ecosystem components such as insects, and as K-selected mammals, exhibit fast population declines.

Butterflies as bioindicators of metal contamination
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023 AbstractAnthropogenic trace metal contamination has significantly increased and has caused many hazardous consequences for the ecosystems and human health. The Terni basin valley (Central Italy) shows a heavy load of pollutants from industrial activities, while the characteristic orography structure of the valley favours air stagnation, thus limiting ...

Laser-Induced Solid-Phase UV Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Rapid Detection of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Land Snail Bioindicator, Cantareus aspersus [PDF]
BiosensorsIn ecotoxicological risk assessment, current methods for measuring the transfer and bioavailability of organic pollutants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in bioindicators are often destructive and environmentally unfriendly.

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.

Efficiency of birds as bioindicators for other taxa in mountain farmlands
Ecological IndicatorsBiodiversity loss is a global issue, particularly in mountain regions, where land-use/land-cover and climate change dramatically impact on species and communities. Sound ecological research and up-to-date information on biodiversity are needed to support

Exploring diatom diversity through cultures - a case study from the Bow River, Canada
Journal of Limnology, 2022 Diatom cultures can help answer taxonomic, biogeographic and ecological questions on a local and global scale. Unialgal cultures are derived from a single cell and provide abundant material for morphological and molecular analyses.
