Life history traits of low-toxicity alternative bisphenol S on Daphnia magna with short breeding cycles: A multigenerational study

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Due to relatively lower toxicity, bisphenol S (BPS) has become an alternative to previously used bisphenol A. Nevertheless, the occurrence of BPS and its ecological impact have recently attracted increasing attentions because the toxicology effect of BPS

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Attention improvement for data-driven analyzing fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra via interpretable attention mechanism

open access: yesnpj Clean Water
Analyzing three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) spectra through machine learning models has drawn increasing attention, whereas the reliability of these machine learning models remains unclear due to their “black box” nature.

Combining passive sampling with toxicity testing to evaluate potential ecotoxicological effects of pharmaceuticals in wastewater-impacted rivers

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2021
A passive sampling method was employed for time-integrative monitoring of five pharmaceuticals and one transformation product (TP) in rivers impacted by sewage treatment plants, in parallel with traditional sampling methods. Target pharmaceuticals, other

The use of diatom records to establish reference conditions for UK lakes subject to eutrophication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A knowledge of pre-disturbance conditions is important for setting realistic restoration targets for lakes. For European waters this is now a requirement of the European Council Water Framework Directive where ecological status must be assessed based on ...

Lava lakes and shallow level magmatic feeding systems of mafic volcanoes of an ocean island: Ambrym, Vanuatu (New Hebrides), South Pacific [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Ambrym is an active volcanic island with 2 major vent complexes; Marum and Benbow. These vent complexes are continuously active over at least the past two thousands of years.

Nasal soft‐tissue anatomy of Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Although ceratopsid dinosaurs possess a characteristically hypertrophied narial region, soft‐tissue anatomy associated with such a skeletal structure and their biological significance remain poorly understood. The present study provides the first comprehensive hypothesis on the soft‐tissue anatomy in the ceratopsid rostrum based on the Extant ...

Effects of water temperature on summer periphyton biomass in shallow lakes: a pan-European mesocosm experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Periphyton communities play an important role in shallow lakes and are controlled by direct forces such as temperature, light, nutrients, and invertebrate grazing, but also indirectly by planktivorous fish predation.

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in theropod dinosaur dental microwear and its palaeoecological implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

Physical and chemical processes driven by natural iron minerals in aquatic environments

open access: yesWater Cycle
In aquatic environments, natural iron minerals are a prevalent form of iron, which alter substance speciation through adsorption and redox reactions.
