Bridging the Gap: Student Voices on Recruitment and Retention in Ecology
Abstract Students entering ecology and environmental science face a variety of challenges, including limited awareness of career paths, lack of mentorship, and difficulties connecting with peers and faculty. These challenges are often amplified for students from marginalized backgrounds, who may also encounter microaggressions, underrepresentation, and

Augustovian Interglacial of Poland according to the study of molluscs fauna
Malacofaunistic research was passed out on the sediments exposed in the boreholes Zharnowo and Komorniki. The results of the study allow the author to join the opinion of those Polish researchers who said of the Augustovian deposits of the oldest in the Glaciopleistocene. Based on the concept of development of flora and fauna in one climatic cycle (the

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 ...

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...
