Community diversity of soil meso-fauna indicates the impacts of oil exploitation on wetlands

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Soil meso-fauna can indicate ecological health and provide biotic metrics for evaluating ecosystem damage and environmental changes. However, the roles of the soil meso-fauna in wetlands affected by oil exploitation have rarely been studied.

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be
