The development of freshwater science in Britain, and British contributions abroad, 1900-2000

, 2010
The nineteenth century was a period in which the framework of sciencedeveloped rapidly and internationally. At its close there were, in Britain,the background and many active ingredients of future freshwater science.Geology and natural history had ...

Thermodynamic Evaluation of Dual Substrate Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Various C₁–C₂ compounds are increasingly available through electrochemical reduction of CO2. Although not always suitable as a sole substrate, these compounds can supplement a primary substrate like glucose to enhance microbial growth. Yet, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dual substrate consumption on growth rate and growth yield ...

Novel tests of regular seasonality, types of variability, and modes of succession in lake phytoplankton

, 2015
The changing composition of phytoplankton communities was followed in 2 high latitude temperate lakes, Esthwaite Water and Windermere (North Basin), by a novel presentation method applied to ratings of semiquantitative abundance, distinguishing the most ...

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Is there a role for freshwater protected areas in the conservation of migratory fish?

, 2014
Migratory fish have been declining in number as a result of numerous processes including hydropower development, pollution, invasive species, and climate change.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Trophic state responses of Onondaga Lake, New York to reductions in phopshorus loading from advanced wastewater treatment

, 2015
This study evaluated the response of previously culturally hypereutrophic Onondaga Lake, New York, to major reductions in phosphorus (P) loading from a municipal wastewater treatment plant achieved over a 35-year period.

Fear of grazing rivals the toxin‐inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae – a meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...
