(Beyond Pesticides, July 25, 2025) The scientific literature shows that microplastics (MPs) and pesticides, both ubiquitous throughout the environment, have synergistic effects that threaten aquatic ...
Researchers describe a new method for investigating the genomes of eukaryotic flagellate organisms. These elusive aquatic creatures may offer clues about LECA -- the progenitor of all complex life on ...
A new study has found that glitter can negatively affect the growth of cyanobacteria, commonly called ‘blue-green algae,' an important player in aquatic ecosystems and a key component of marine food ...
Populations of various species of aquatic insects and other invertebrates respond to flooding and waterway drying due to drought in different ways that can be anticipated, according to a new study ...
Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have demonstrated a technology that rapidly detects pollutants in water by measuring their impacts on swimming microorganisms.
In terrestrial environments, microbes generally exist on surfaces, allowing them to traverse their surroundings and seek nutrients. In aquatic environments, nutrients are concentrated onto surfaces or ...
In coastal communities across the planet, algae blooms and dead zones are increasing in frequency and magnitude, due, in part, to human activities and climate change. These ecological threats could ...
The graphic shows a tree of life for complex forms known as Eukaryotes, that arose mysteriously around 1.2-2 billions years ago from a progenitor known as LECA (for Last Eukaryote Common Ancestor.) ...
