Phytoplankton Tune Local pH to Actively Modulate Circadian Gravitactic Behavior

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Diel vertical migration hides an unexpected twist: Phytoplankton quietly engineer their local pH landscape, splitting into behaviorally distinct sub‐groups which stay separated even in identical conditions. Circadian pH changes, occuring over the course of a day, reshape their gravitactic behavior and physiological functions in ways scientists have ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Microplastics and nanoplastics in water: Improving removal in wastewater treatment plants with alternative coagulants

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...
