Bioindication has become an indispensable part of water quality monitoring in most
countries of the world, with the presence and abundance of bioindicator taxa, mostly …

Free-living nematodes are well-recognized as an abundant and ubiquitous component of
benthic communities in inland waters. Compelling evidence from soil and marine …

Massive use of pesticides in conventional agriculture leads to accumulation in soil of
complex mixtures, triggering questions about their potential ecotoxicological risk. This study …

The determination of the real toxicity of sediments in aquatic ecosystems is challenging and
necessary for an appropriate risk assessment. Different approaches have been developed …

Although nematodes are one of the most diverse metazoan phyla, species identification
through morphology is difficult. Several genetic markers have been used for their …

Among soil organisms, nematodes are seen as the most promising candidates for
bioindications of soil health. We hypothesized that the soil nematode community structure …

With respect to their high abundances, their role as intermediaries between microorganisms
and higher trophic levels, and their ubiquitous occurrence in all habitats, nematodes are of …

Nematodes are among the most successful metazoans inhabiting the Earth and they are
pivotal components as in terrestrial as in aquatic (both in marine and freshwater) …

The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) blowout and oil spill of 2010 released an estimated 4.9
million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Spill-related contaminants that sank to the …

Biochar has potential for application for in situ metal-contaminated sediment remediation,
mainly because of its cost-effectiveness. In this study, the effectiveness of Phyllostachys …
