Working Primers and qPCR Protocols for Rapid eDNA Identification of Four Aquatic Invasive Species Found in the Lower Great Lakes with High Potential for Ballast Transport to Lake Superior

Hydrobiology
Reliable, timely and economical target organism detection in harbors and ballast water is urgently needed to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) by commercial ships in the North American Great Lakes (NAGL). Inter-Great Lake ships (Lakers)

Vitality of aquatic plants and microbial activity of sediment in an oligotrophic lake (Lake Bohinj, Slovenia)

Journal of Limnology, 2011
The vitality of eight macrophyte species and the microbial activity of sediment in an oligotrophic lake (Lake Bohinj, Slovenia) were studied via the terminal electron transport system (ETS) activity of mitochondria. The levels of ETS activity of vascular

Mexican Freshwater Fish: Identifying Conservation Priorities and High‐Risk Areas for Fisheries Under Climate Change

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish are essential components of aquatic ecosystems, providing key ecological functions and supporting livelihoods. Climate change poses a significant threat to freshwater biodiversity; consequently, both its conservation and the food security it sustains may be at risk.

All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point?

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

Recreational land use contributes to the loss of marine biodiversity

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1758-1773, October 2024.
Abstract Coastal areas are at the centre of human–nature relationship, shaped by recreation, tourism and aesthetic values. However, socioeconomic drivers of biodiversity change in coastal areas have received less attention. Soft sediment seafloors support diverse species communities and contribute to ecosystem functionality.
