Bioassays with terrestrial and aquatic species as monitoring tools of hydrocarbon degradation [PDF]

, 2016
In this study chemical analyses and ecotoxicity tests were applied for the assessment of a heavily hydrocarbon-contaminated soil prior and after the application of a remediation procedure that consisted in the stimulation of soil autochthonous ...

Metal‐Coordination Specificity and Structural Dynamics of C. elegans Metallothionein I: Insights From 3D Modeling and MD Simulations

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metallothioneins (MTLs) are small, cysteine‐rich proteins known for their ability to bind metal ions and exhibit flexible, disordered structures. The structural and functional characteristics of metallothionein I (MTL‐1) from Caenorhabditis elegans were investigated, focusing on its behavior in both metal free (MTL‐1 Apo) and metal‐bond states

Cocoon viability and evidence for delayed hatching by the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris in a laboratory-based study. [PDF]

, 2014
Clitellate Lumbricus terrestris, obtained from 5 commercial suppliers (A-E) and also field collected (F) - grassland in Preston, Lancashire, UK, were kept under controlled environmental conditions (15 °C and 24 h darkness) in a sterilised loam soil and ...

Elevating Configurations of Data and Emotion: Dynamics of Coproduction, Collaboration and Competition

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Creating, visualizing, and critiquing data are integral knowledge‐building practices within science, as well as many other fields. Yet data is often treated as neutral and value‐free, perpetuating narratives of science as a dispassionate discipline where data are merely extracted, repackaged, and distributed anew.

Selective toxicity of diafenthiuron to non-target organisms: honey bees, coccinellids, chelonus, earthworms, silkworms and fish

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2016
Diafenthiuron, an insecticide widely used in the management of pests of cardamom and cotton, was assessed for its toxicity-effect on beneficials commonly found in these ecosystems.

Polyploid races, genetic structure and morphological features of earthworm Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826) (Oligohaeta: Lumbricidae) in Ukraine [PDF]

, 2011
Four chromosomal races (2n=36, 3n=54, 6n=108, 8n=144) and 96 clones have been revealed among 224 specimens of the earthworm A. rosea over the territory of Ukraine by means of karyological analysis and biochemical genetic marking.

Tree Species Identity Shapes Earthworm Communities

, 2017
Earthworms are key organisms in forest ecosystems because they incorporate organic material into the soil and affect the activity of other soil organisms.

Innovation for Sustainable Development: Assessing Sustainability‐Oriented Innovations in the UK Palm Oil Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research evaluates the adoption of Sustainability‐Oriented Innovations (SOIs) by UK food manufacturers, particularly in the palm oil sector. Despite the global palm oil industry's environmental and social impacts, such as deforestation and labour exploitation, empirical studies on SOIs are limited. This paper addressed this gap by mapping

Milled cereal straw accelerates earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) growth more than selected organic amendments [PDF]

, 2017
Earthworms benefit agriculture by providing several ecosystem services. Therefore, strategies to increase earthworm abundance and activity in agricultural soils should be identified, and encouraged.

Nitrogen deposition cancels out exotic earthworm effects on plant‐feeding nematode communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017
Summary The activity and spread of exotic earthworms often are spatially correlated with N deposition because both arise from human activities. Exotic earthworms, in turn, can also greatly affect soil abiotic and biotic properties, as well as related ...
