Interactions of Microplastics with Freshwater Biota [PDF]
, 2017 The ubiquitous detection of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems promotes the concern for adverse impacts on freshwater ecosystems. The wide variety of material types, sizes, shapes, and physicochemical properties renders interactions with biota via multiple pathways probable.

Recent Progress in Antioxidant Active Substances from Marine Biota
Antioxidants, 2022 Background: The well-recognized but not fully explored antioxidant activity of marine-biota-derived, biologically active substances has led to interest in their study as substitutes of antibiotics, antiaging agents, anticancer and antiviral drugs, and ...

Is Wild Marine Biota Affected by Microplastics?
Animals, 2022 Simple Summary Microplastics are ubiquitous particles with dimensions less than 5 mm. In the marine environment, due to their small size, they can be ingested by organisms.

Late Quaternary dynamics of Arctic biota from ancient environmental genomics
Nature, 2021 During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood1–8.

Emerging contaminants in biota [PDF]
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2012 The determination of emerging contaminants in biota is a difficult task and a major analytical challenge because of both the complexity of biological matrices, for example algae, fish, shellfish, mammals, or eggs, and the low parts per trillion levels at which the target compounds are present.

Radiation monitoring with plant-based biotas and an automated micronucleus scoring approach [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 In this work, we investigated the response of the stem cells from the roots of Allium Cepa (meristems) to ionizing and non-ionizing radiations of different qualities.

The development of Anthropocene biotas [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 Biodiversity has always responded dynamically to environmental perturbations in the geological past, through changes to the abundances and distributions of genes and species, to the composition of biological communities, and to the cover and locations of different ecosystem types.
