Coastal wetlands are ecosystems lying between land and ocean and are subject to inputs of
heavy metals (HMs) from terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric sources. Although the study …

Ocean acidification and warming are recognized as two major anthropogenic perturbations
of the modern ocean. However, little is known about the adaptive response of phytoplankton …

Trade-offs play vital roles in evolutionary theory, linking organism performance to changing
environments in the context of global change. Marine microalgae, as one of the most …

Rising temperature enhances the algal growth, which in turn increases the water pH.
Ecotoxicity studies have suggested that copper becomes more toxic to microalgae species …

Concentrations of 12 different trace elements (Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, U and

Coastal ecosystems are increasingly experiencing anthropogenic pressures such as climate
warming, CO2 increase, metal and organic pollution, overfishing, and resource extraction …

The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying
slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of …

The disposal of mine tailings into the marine environment is considered an essential option
to secure the economic efficiency of deep-sea mining, but it might adversely affects the …

Adaptation of cell populations to environmental changes is mediated by phenotypic
variability at the single-cell level. Enzyme activity is a key factor in cell phenotype and the …
