Among the biopolymers, chitin and its derivative chitosan (CTS) have been receiving
increasing attention. Both are composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked d …

The lack of integrated long‐term data on health, diseases, and toxicant effects in Arctic
marine mammals severely limits our ability to predict the effects of climate change on marine …

We present a generic theoretical model (MICROWEB) that simulates the transfer of
microplastics and hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOC) in food webs. We implemented the …

The long-term consequences of climate change and potential environmental degradation
are likely to include aspects of disease emergence in marine plants and animals. In turn …

Recent reviews by researchers from academia, industry, and government have revealed that
the criteria used by the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants under the …

Substances that accumulate to hazardous levels in living organisms pose environmental
and human-health risks, which governments seek to reduce or eliminate. Regulatory …

Scientists concerned with organic matter flow and food web structures in aquatic systems
have increasingly realized the potential for using stable isotopes as both natural tracers and …

The earth's climate is changing, possibly at an unprecedented rate. Overall, the planet is
warming, sea ice and glaciers are in retreat, sea level is rising, and pollutants are …

Recent studies of arctic marine food webs have provided detailed insights regarding the
