Assessment of a Sheltered Euhaline Area of the Southeastern Bay of Biscay to Sustain Bivalve Production in Terms of Phytoplankton Community Composition
(Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2021-01)
This study describes the phytoplankton community in sheltered euhaline waters of the Basque coast (southeastern Bay of Biscay). Phytoplankton composition, cell size, abundance, biomass and the presence of potentially toxic ...
Amphibian loss alters periphyton structure and invertebrate growth in montane streams
(Wiley, 2022-11)
Amphibians are declining worldwide due to a combination of stressors such as climate change, invasive species, habitat loss, pollution and emergent diseases. Although their losses are likely to have important ecological ...
A common fungicide impairs stream ecosystem functioning through effects on aquatic hyphomycetes and detritivorous caddisflies
(Academic Press-Elsevier, 2020-06-01)
Fungicides can reach streams through runoff or adhered to leaf litter, and have the potential to adversely affect processes such as litter decomposition and associated communities. This study investigated the effects of ...
Co-creación de conocimiento para la inclusión del enfoque de servicios de los ecosistemas en la ordenación del territorio del País Vasco
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2020-04)
El tipo de desarrollo sostenible al que aspiramos necesita, entre otras cosas, una base de conocimiento científico, acuerdos sociales y decisiones políticas que encaminen la gestión hacia una ruta de sostenibilidad. Por ...
Key Elements of the White-Backed Woodpecker’s (Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) Habitat in Its European South-Western Limits
(MDPI, 2020-07-30)
In the last decade, the population of the white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) (WBW) in Navarre has been reduced mainly due to the loss of suitable habitat for this species from intensive forest management, ...
Elemental imaging approach to assess the ability of subaerial biofilms growing on constructions located in tropical climates as potential biomonitors of atmospheric heavy metals pollution
(Elsevier, 2022-10-06)
Over the last decades, the concern about air pollution has increased significantly, especially in urban areas. Active sampling of air pollutants requires specific instrumentation not always available in all the laboratories. ...
Decades of biomass loss in the shallow rocky subtidal vegetation of the south-eastern Bay of Biscay
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] This study seeks to assess changes over time in the structure of subtidal macroalgal assemblages across depth in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay. The results reveal a large-scale decline in total macroalgal biomass ...
Interactive effects of discharge reduction and fine sediments on stream biofilm metabolism
(James N. McNair, 2021)
Discharge reduction, as caused by water diversion for hydropower, and fine sediments deposition, are prevalent stressors that may affect multiple ecosystem functions in streams. Periphytic biofilms play a key role in stream ...
Environmental justice and outdoor recreation opportunities: A spatially explicit assessment in Oslo metropolitan area, Norway
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
Abstract
Urban and peri-urban green space provides multiple recreation opportunities with important benefits for physical and psychological well-being, but access to these benefits is often unequally distributed. Various ...
Species-specific song responses emerge as a by-product of tuning to the local dialect.
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Oscine birds preferentially respond to certain sounds over others from an early age, which focuses subsequent learning onto sexually relevant songs.1-3 Songs vary both across species and, due to cultural evolution, among ...
