Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 9, Issue 10, April 4, 2022., 2022 This review provides meaningful insights about the design of Halloysite stabilized Pickering emulsions. The general aspects about their properties are enlightened by focusing many different factors. Most importantly, the applications of the clay nanotubes stabilized droplets in both technological and industrial fields are considered: from environmental

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 46-72, January 2022., 2022 Abstract There is a pressing need to understand the impact of contaminants on Arctic ecosystems; however, most toxicity tests are based on temperate species, and there are issues with reliability and relevance of bioassays in general. Together this may result in an underestimation of harm to Arctic organisms and contribute to significant uncertainty in

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 20, Page 13862-13874, October 2021., 2021 Assembly processes in marine microbial communities amended with crude oil and chemical dispersant are poorly understood and even more so when biosurfactants are used. We used a comprehensive set of null models approaches to test traditional macroecological concepts in the context of microbial metagenomics in order to understand and quantify the ...

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1423-1468, June 2021., 2021 Abstract The conservation and active restoration of European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) populations are a major focus of ecological restoration efforts to take advantage of the wide‐ranging ecosystem functions and services this species provides. Accordingly, additional and new demands for seed oysters have arisen.

Hypoxia Enhances the Toxicity of Corexit EC9500A and Chemically Dispersed Southern Louisiana Sweet Crude Oil (MC-242) to Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) Larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Oil exploration and production activities are common in the northern Gulf of Mexico as well as many other coastal and near coastal areas worldwide. Seasonal hypoxia is also a common feature in the Northern Gulf, and many other coastal areas, which is ...
