Researchers from the HUN-REN Center for Ecological Research have developed a novel three-dimensional modeling method that accurately quantifies how microalgae affect underwater light conditions—one of the most critical factors ...
Queensland scientists have pioneered a new method to assess the long-term risks posed by toxicants such as insecticides in rivers and the ocean.
When West Virginia University biology undergraduate student Isabella Tuzzio tested fish from central Appalachian streams, her research revealed microplastics in every fish she sampled.
Driving along the Stuart Highway from Tennant Creek to Katherine in Australia's Northern Territory, you might be more aware of lone eagles flying high above than what lies in the groundwaters beneath.
In an increasingly connected world, rare earth metals with odd names such as lanthanum, cerium and yttrium have become strategic assets. They are used in everything from mobile phones to wind turbines to electric vehicles. ...
The key to understanding how climate change affects local biodiversity might lie with the young, scientists have recently discovered.
The seagrass is greener along Florida's Nature Coast … figuratively, that is. A new study published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series shows that seagrass ecosystems along the northern half of Florida's Gulf Coast ...
