Age and annual growth rate cause spatial variation in body size in Phrynocephalus przewalskii (Agamid)

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Whether or not biogeographic rules dealing with spatial patterns of animal body sizes are valid for ectotherms is controversial. As the ectotherms grow all their lives, we explored the role of age and annual growth rate in body size variation in ...

Soil decontamination: bioremediation and phytoremediation [PDF]

, 2023
Practically all agro-industrial activities and the maintenance of cities have the potential to pollute and contaminate the environment. Thus, measures to mitigate the impacts of these activities must be evaluated, including bioremediation. In this sense,

Effect of fertilizer formulation and bioaugmentation on biodegradation and leaching of crude oils and refined products in soils [PDF]

, 2012
The effects of soil characteristics and oil types as well as the efficacy of two fertilizer formulations and three bioaugmentation packages in improving the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soils were assessed as a means of ex situ treatment selection ...

Viable Putative Vibrio vulnificus and parahaemolyticus in the Pensacola and Perdido Bays: Water Column, Sediments, and Invertebrate Biofilms

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Vibriosis is the general term for human illnesses caused by infection of pathogenic Vibrio species. Vibrio vulnificus (Vv) and parahaemolyticus (Vp) are two problematic waterborne pathogens that have yet to be enumerated in northwest Florida coastal Gulf

Nitrogen Fixation in Subtropical Seagrass Sediments: Seasonal Patterns in Activity in Santa Rosa Sound, Florida, USA

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Seagrass beds are important coastal habitats that are diminishing globally. Nitrogen, a key nutrient, often limits seagrass growth. Nitrogen fixation provides new, bioavailable nitrogen to the plants.

Bioremediation of nitrogenous compounds fromoilfield wastewater by Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta)

, 2016
Oilfield wastewater (OFW) is a by-product of petroleum production and has a high nitrogen concentration. Bioremediation by macroalgae appears to be an option for OFW, and the genus Ulva (Chlorophyta) has strong potential as an agent of bioremediation ...

Microevolution, speciation and macroevolution in rhizobia: Genomic mechanisms and selective patterns

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Nodule bacteria (rhizobia), N2-fixing symbionts of leguminous plants, represent an excellent model to study the fundamental issues of evolutionary biology, including the tradeoff between microevolution, speciation, and macroevolution, which remains ...
