Accidental plant poisonings in France: Lessons from a decade of national toxicovigilance

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Accidental plant poisonings reveal how modern societies are losing everyday botanical knowledge once central to food and health safety. By analyzing a decade of French toxicovigilance data, this study shows that most severe cases arise from plant misidentification or misguided self‐medication.

At-risk marine biodiversity faces extensive, expanding, and intensifying human impacts

Science, 2021
An ever-growing human footprint Human activities are increasingly affecting the marine environment but understanding how much and in what ways is an extreme challenge given the vastness of this system. O'Hara et al.

Integrating eDNA metabarcoding and simultaneous underwater visual surveys to describe complex fish communities in a marine biodiversity hotspot

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021
Marine biodiversity can be surveyed using underwater visual censuses and recently with eDNA metabarcoding. Although a promising tool, eDNA studies have shown contrasting results related to its detection scale and the number of species identified compared

Synthesis and evaluation of coastal and marine biodiversity spatial information in the United Arab Emirates for ecosystem-based management.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) host valuable coastal and marine biodiversity that is subjected to multiple pressures under extreme conditions. To mitigate impacts on marine ecosystems, the UAE protects almost 12% of its Exclusive Economic Zone.

The origins of tropical marine biodiversity

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2013
Recent phylogeographic studies have overturned three paradigms for the origins of marine biodiversity. (i) Physical (allopatric) isolation is not the sole avenue for marine speciation: many species diverge along ecological boundaries. (ii) Peripheral habitats such as oceanic archipelagos are not evolutionary graveyards: these regions can export ...

Mysterious oil spill in the Atlantic Ocean threatens marine biodiversity and local people in Brazil.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
This study provides the first preliminary assessment of the potential impact from the recent oil spill in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. Using information on the occurrence of oil patches along the Brazilian coast, we quantified potential exposure of ...

Is Marine Biodiversity At Risk?

Science, 1994
Evidence is beginning to accumulate that human development of coastlines and overfishing may be having deleterious effects on marine biodiversity. Although some biologists doubt marine extinctions, the possibility is being taken seriously by scientific organizations, who have been sponsoring conferences and workshops on the changing diversity of the ...

What Is Marine Biodiversity?

2022
This chapter covers what is meant when we talk about marine biodiversity. The term ‘biodiversity’ is a value-laden term because of its links to biological conservation. Marine biodiversity can be studied at any level of biological organization, from biomolecules to the biosphere. Whether or not viruses should be included as part of biodiversity depends

Biodiversity of Marine Ecosystems

2023
The water covers about 71% of the earth's surface and occupies an area of about 361 million km2 and a volume of about 1370 million km3 of water. Oceans and seas are responsible for maintaining the global climate by regulating air temperature and supplying moisture for rainfall. They play a major part in the global carbon cycle, removing almost 25% of
