Roots and rhizomes play diverse roles in the response of coastal wetland ecosystems to climate change through hydrobiogeomorphic and biogeochemical processes. The accumulation of living and dead belowground biomass contributes significantly to surfac...

Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) are a recreationally and ecologically important apex predator found throughout North America. In West Virginia, the genetic structuring and diversity of native muskellunge is poorly understood. The supplementary stockin...

Systemic habitat destruction over the last 100 years combined with major anthropogenic stressors such as aquatic contaminants, exotic species, and economic endeavors is driving the decline in freshwater unionid species diversity. Global temperatures...

Bisphenol A, BPA, is a small molecule frequently used in large-scale plastic production. The chemical has garnered a reputation for its association with harmful human health effects, and numerous animal studies have contributed to its classification...

The present study aimed to describe the reproductive cycle of the black-footed limpet (Patella depressa Pennant, 1777) from an intertidal rocky shore on the Algarve coast (southern Portugal). Samples were collected monthly between January 2017 and De...

Biologists commonly use standard sampling protocols to ensure that data are comparable spatiotemporally. Data also need to be precise to allow for statistically meaningful comparisons. However, the effort needed to precisely sample desert fishes is u...

Tannins are plant secondary compounds that leach into soil and water. Tannin concentrations can be higher in lentic freshwater than in other aquatic ecosystems, which can result in toxicity to freshwater organisms. While the amount of plant material...

An important top-down predator, the northern pike (Esox lucius), faces harsh environmental conditions in the northern boreal ecoregion. They are often managed for recreational fishing and, more recently, to create environmental offsets; strategies ai...
