Nanoparticle synthesis from biological sources has recently evolved as a green alternative
to the traditional chemical means of synthesis. Among the diverse green sources explored …

Accurate and detailed reporting of methods is essential for scientific progress, yet it is widely
accepted that authors across all scientific fields tend to provide insufficient methods detail …

In estuaries, phytoplankton are faced with strong environmental forcing (eg high turbidity,
salinity gradients). Taxa that appear under such conditions may play a critical role in …

Although invasive species are recognized as a major threat to freshwaters, little is known
about how future climate warming will affect the success of invaders. Ecosystems are also …

We conducted microcosm experiments with two contrasting freshwater ciliates on functional
traits (FTs) related to their growth rate (numerical response, NR) and ingestion rate …

Temporary water bodies, especially vernal pools, are the most sensitive aquatic
environments to climate change yet the least studied. Their functioning largely depends on …

Polar ecosystems play an important role in global primary production. Microalgae have
adaptations that enable them to live under low temperature environments where irradiance …

Microbial communities from a lake and river flowing through a highly dense urbanized
township in Malaysia were profiled by sequencing amplicons of the 16S V3–V4 and 18S V9 …

The global rise in plastic production has led to significant plastic deposition in aquatic
ecosystems, releasing chemical compounds as plastics degrade. Among these, bisphenol A …

The cryptophyte Teleaulax amphioxeia is a source of plastids for the ciliate Mesodinium
