A metatranscriptomic exploration of fungal and bacterial contributions to allochthonous leaf litter decomposition in the streambed [PDF]

PeerJ
The decomposition of organic matter is essential for sustaining the health of freshwater ecosystems by enabling nutrient recycling, sustaining food webs, and shaping habitat conditions, which collectively enhance ecosystem resilience and productivity ...

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota) Fungi Isolated from Freshwater Environments of Korea: Cladorrhinum australe, Curvularia muehlenbeckiae, Curvularia pseudobrachyspora , and Diaporthe longicolla

한국균학회지, 2020
Fungi are ubiquitous and indispensable components of nearly all ecosystems on earth, including freshwater environments. A survey of fungal diversity in freshwater environments of Korea led to the identification of four unrecorded Pezizomycotina ...

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning are driven by resource quality and contamination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships are increasingly explained by species' traits and resource quality differences rather than richness alone, yet cross‐trophic effects and environmental context remain poorly resolved.

Modifying Surber sampling technique increases capture of freshwater crabs in African upland streams [PDF]

, 2012
We compared 2 methods for sampling the freshwater crab Potamonautes odhneri (Colosi) in Kenyan streams: standard Surber sampling, in which a sample is taken over a period of several minutes; and rapid Surber sampling, in which the process is reduced to ...

Investigation of growth responses in saprophytic fungi to charred biomass [PDF]

, 2010
We present the results of a study testing the response of two saprophytic white-rot fungi species, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Coriolus versicolor, to charred biomass (charcoal) as a growth substrate.

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Exploring Diversity within Chytridiales and Rhizophydiales (Chytridiomycota) in Korea

Mycobiology
Chytridiomycota is the most species-rich phylum of basal lineage fungi with a worldwide distribution. Its species constitute essential components of freshwater ecosystems. However, the diversity of this group in Korea remains understudied.

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.
