These results show that the vulnerability of all haplotypes of P. australis to rising sea levels depends on exposure to saline water and that a combination of flooding and salinity may help control invasive haplotypes.Lynn, AustinElsey-Quirk, Tracy...
In contrast, ben- efits of aerobic respiration include decreased energy expenditure, compensation of oxygen debt, and elimination of anaerobic metabolites but at the cost of evaporative water loss and predation vulnerability1,4,14,15. Some bivalve mollusks (e.g., clams) are permanent dwellers in...
Given these findings from toxicological studies, exposure of foetuses and children during certain windows of vulnerability may lead to a greater risk after exposure to PFASs during infancy and childhood [31], [32], [33]. Human exposure can be investigated by biomonitoring or by combining external...
These difficulties, combined with the hurried demand for technological advancement in many countries, have resulted in global concern on possible vulnerability from air pollution [6,7]. Anthropogenic emissions are the largest contributors of urban outdoor air pollution as they emit various kinds of ...
duration was negatively correlated with live aboveground biomass in the high-salinity site (χ2= 10.37,p= 0.001), while no such relationship was detected in the low-salinity site, indicating that flood tolerance is greater under freshwater conditions. These results show that the vulnerability of ...
Furthermore, although recent reductions in the BPb reference value (5 µg/dL to 3.5 µg/dL) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [47] reflect concerns that there is no “safe” concentration of Pb exposure, the vulnerability of the developing brain to even low Pb ...
Results revealed clear dominance of lichenized and stress-tolerant fungi in endolithic communities. The main variations in composition and abundance of functional groups among sites correlated to sun exposure, but not to altitude.

A taxonomy suitable for describing exposure at large-scale should be international in scope, detailed, collapsible, extendable, user friendly, and suitable to describe different types of exposed assets with enough detail to match the requirement of the related vulnerability models [29]. Moreover, ...
