Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Interactions Between Sessile Species Groups from Wave-Exposed Rocky Intertidal Habitats in Atlantic Canada Evaluated Using Multiannual Surveys

Ecologies
Within biogeographic regions, local communities are structured mainly by abiotic (environmental) filtering, external resource supply, and biotic interactions.

Beyond Removal Efficiency: Environmental Risk Assessment of Tartrazine Degradation via ZnO and TiO2 Nanoparticles in Mussels

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tartrazine (TZ) is a widely used synthetic azo dye with high aqueous stability, resulting in persistence in wastewater. Photoreactive nanomaterials, principally zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs), are frequently employed for dye removal under light‐exposed conditions; nevertheless, their ecotoxicological ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Using Freshwater Mussels as an Indicator for River Water Quality [PDF]

, 2017
Using the freshwater mussel to monitor water quality is a practical and advantageous way to use nature’s indicator species. River water quality is an important measurement that is constantly monitored for many purposes.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Sex‐Specific Involvement of Gut Microbiota in Behavioral and Endocrine Responses to Chronic Predator Odor in Brandt's Voles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐
