Here, we highlight recent and notable achieve- ments, including up-and-coming developments that are set to transform the way we study the phylogeny and function of microbes in the biosphere. Stable-isotope probing SIP experiments are dependent upon the availability of suitable stable isotopes of ...
Microplastics are freshwater contaminants of emerging concern Among the multiple human pressures on aquatic ecosystems, the accumulation of plastic debris is one of the most obvious but least studied. While plastics generate remarkable societal benefits [[1]], there are downsides to our ‘plastic age...
Using responses from key stakeholders and managers at two coastal MPAs in Atlantic Canada, this study examined the importance of various factors shaping perceptions of MPA effectiveness and the role of legitimacy in influencing those perceptions. Results indicate that most indicators of legitimacy are ...
We studied shell variation in the thick-shelled river mussel (Unio crassus Philipson, 1788) sampled from two sites of very different character: (1) a rocky
The ecosystem service valuation is an approach with which to quantify and assign economic value to ecosystem goods and services and their functions. Due to the growing demand for and overexploitation of natural resources, the structure and function of an ecosystem are severely affected at the local...
