Interspecific competition with the American Xanthium orientale L. as a possible cause of the decline of the Old-World X. strumarium L. [PDF]
Xanthium is represented in Europe by three species complexes: X. strumarium L., X. orientale L., and X. spinosum L. The former two complexes are similar, in both morphology and ecological requirements.

Structural basis for saxitoxin congener binding and neutralization by anuran saxiphilins [PDF]
Dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria produce saxitoxin (STX) and ~50 congeners that disrupt bioelectrical signals by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels (NaVs). Consuming seafood carrying these toxins causes paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP).

Distributions of Polychlorinated Naphthalenes in Sediments of the Yangtze River, China
The pollution status of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in the sediment of the Yangtze River Basin, Asia’s largest river basin, was estimated. The total concentrations of PCNs (mono- to octa-CNs) ranged from 0.103 to 1.631 ng/g.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Snow Cover of South-Eastern Kazakhstan
The presence of large sources of environmental pollution due to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), in particular, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), in Kazakhstan necessitates the assessment of pollution as a result of these toxicants. For this purpose,
