La stratégie d’échantillonnage optimisée du Réseau Hydrologique Littoral Normand (RHLN) a été approuvée en 2007 par ses partenaires, avec le triple objectif (1) d’observer les niveaux d’eutrophisation et les phénomènes associés pour comprendre leur déclenchement et évol...

In this study, we report forty-nine cases of Chironomidae larvae living on other animals in Brazilian aquatic ecosystems, including a wide range of hosts, such as hydrozoans, snails, insects and fish. We also discuss some empirical difficulties to establish the ecologic...

UNDERSTANDING the environment of the Bering land bridge and determining the timing of late Wisconsin inundation are important for several areas of study. These include: (1) the timing of the re-establishment of circulation between Pacific and Atlantic Oceans; (2) the ti...

<jats:p>RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful tool to visualize target messenger RNA transcripts in cultured cells, tissue sections or whole-mount preparations. As the technique has been developed over time, an ever-increasing number of divergent p...

Large amounts of dust and atmospheric aerosols, originating from surrounding desert areas (e.g., Sahara and Middle East) are deposited annually on the surface of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. These depositions can provide high amounts of micro (such as Fe, Zn, Co) and ...

Konsentrasjonen av bromerte flammehemmere (PBDE, HBCDD), PCB, dioksiner, klorerte parafiner, perfluorerte stoffer og kvikksølv er analysert i prøver av fisk (ørret, lågåsild og krøkle) og zooplankton (Mysis relicta) fra Mjøsa, 2009. Det er òg undersøkt kvikksølv i abbor...

WOS:000514971500002; International audience; The decrease in ocean pH that results from the increased concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) is likely to influence many physiological functions in organisms. It has been shown in different fish species that ocean...

La contamination des denrées d’origine marine par des toxines algales (phycotoxines) a pris depuis quelques années une importance considérable. Ce phénomène est largement lié à l’augmentation du nombre de zones géographiques touchées ainsi qu’à la diversification des es...

The sediments of the upper basins of Lochs Goil, Fyne and Etive were high in both solid phase extractable manganese (up to 3.7% w/w), and high in pore water manganese (up to 600 mu M), while Loch Linnhe sediments were low in manganese. Solid phase manganese from the sur...
