Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Bioaccessibility of Metal(loid)s From Anthropogenic Contamination in Dry Riverbed Sediments in the Cartagena–La Unión Mining District (Murcia, SE Spain): Implications for Human Health Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the contamination levels, bioaccessibility, and potential health risks of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in sediments from three dry riverbeds (El Beal‐EB, Las Matildes‐LM, and Ponce‐PN) impacted by historical mining activities in the Cartagena‐La Unión Mining District.

How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 2: the scientific age and beyond

Weather, EarlyView.
The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the origins of the words we use. In this paper, we will shed light on these origins, including the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the British Empire and, of course, a TV show.

Trait responses to competition are mostly parallel among competitor plants but can cause convergence or divergence in key traits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants competing for resources exhibit different traits than plants which are not. Phenotypic plasticity can shape competition by altering trait differences between competitors.

Future climate change favours the increase in abundance of smaller, shorter‐lived fish in the northeastern Mediterranean

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As species distributions shift due to climate change, functional alterations may also occur within marine communities, potentially leading to ecosystem‐wide transformations.
