Late Quaternary dynamics of Arctic biota from ancient environmental genomics

open access: yesNature, 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.

Nanoplastics impact on marine biota: A review.

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2021
Emerging contaminants, such as nanoplastics, are gaining a vast interest within the scientific community. Most of the plastic debris found in the marine environment originates from land-based sources, and once in the marine environment, plastic can be ...

Local adaptation of aboveground herbivores towards plant phenotypes induced by soil biota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Soil biota may trigger strong physiological responses in plants and consequently induce distinct phenotypes. Plant phenotype, in turn, has a strong impact on herbivore performance.

Dissimilar response of plant and soil biota communities to long-term nutrient adition in grasslands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The long-term effect of fertilizers on plant diversity and productivity is well known, but long-term effects on soil biota communities have received relatively little attention.

The Swedish Malaise Trap Project: A 15 Year Retrospective on a Countrywide Insect Inventory [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2020
The Swedish Malaise Trap Project (SMTP) is one of the most ambitious insect inventories ever attempted. The project was designed to target poorly known insect groups across a diverse range of habitats in Sweden. The field campaign involved the deployment

Ecosystem uptake and transfer of Sellafield-derived radiocarbon (14C). Part 1. The Irish Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ecosystem uptake and transfer processes of Sellafield-derived radiocarbon (14C) within the Irish Sea were examined. Highly variable activities in sediment, seawater and biota indicate complex 14C dispersal and uptake dynamics.

Tip dating supports novel resolutions of controversial relationships among early mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The estimation of the timing of major divergences in early mammal evolution is challenging due to conflicting interpretations of key fossil taxa. One contentious group is Haramiyida, the earliest members of which are from the Late Triassic.

Nano and microplastic interactions with freshwater biota - Current knowledge, challenges and future solutions.

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2021
Current understanding of nano- and microplastic movement, propagation and potential effects on biota in freshwater environments is developing rapidly. Still, there are significant disconnects in the integration of knowledge derived from laboratory and ...
