Ecological risk assessment of chlorpyrifos in Laizhou Bay based on species sensitivity distributions analysis

Ecological Indicators
Chlorpyrifos, a widely used organophosphorus insecticide, poses a potential hazard to marine ecosystems due to its toxicity to aquatic organisms. However, the ecological risks of chlorpyrifos to marine organisms remain unclear.

Spectral‐Kinetic Synergy in Au‐Network Engineered FeTiO3: A Multi‐Field Coupling Strategy for Lunar In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How can humanity achieve lunar self‐sufficiency? We utilize Au topology networks to modify the abundant lunar ilmenite. This catalyst, under sunlight, can convert waste carbon dioxide into space fuel. This design leverages the moon's natural vacuum for green manufacturing, avoiding the waste of gold and serving as “artificial chloroplasts” to sustain ...

Benthic non-indigenous species among indigenous species and their habitat preferences in Puck Bay (southern Baltic Sea)* This work was carried out under the ‘Ecosystem Approach to Marine Spatial Planning – Polish Marine Areas and the Natura 2000 Network’ project founded by an EEA grant from Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway and partly by research grant BW/G 220-5-0232-9.

Oceanologia, 2014
To date 11 non-indigenous benthic taxa have been reported in Puck Bay (southern Baltic Sea). Five of the 34 taxa forming the soft bottom communities are regarded as non-indigenous to this area.

Freshwater fish assemblages in Cyprus with emphasis on the effects of dams [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2012
Background. The distribution of freshwater fishes in Cyprus is poorly known. The island is particularly interesting because of its biogeographical isolation and the long-term influence of humans on the biota, especially due to the recent damming of many ...

Defining indigenous plants: some problematic species from Norfolk Island [PDF]

, 2010
Defining indigenous species may at first appear straight forward; most botanical texts provide similar definitions. The consistent requirement of such definitions is the lack of human intervention in the occurrence of the species within the area under ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Utilizing Environmental DNA for Early Monitoring of Non-Indigenous Fish Species in Maritime Ballast Water

Fishes
Ballast water has become a significant vector for the global spread of non-indigenous aquatic species. These species may cause severe ecological disruption and economic losses when introduced into new environments. Traditional monitoring techniques often
