Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

The revised framework expands protection of aquatic ecosystems. MAHWAH, N.J., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new open-access manuscript in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry marks a major step ...

Aquatic organisms exhibit a range of behavioural adaptations when confronted with contaminated environments. In recent decades, research has revealed that both chronic and acute contamination events ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240260 discusses a novel strategy for detecting trace-level nanoplastics in aquatic environments. Plastic materials have ...

A new study explores waste management systems and reveals that achieving zero waste leakage by 2030 is unlikely, potentially jeopardizing related Sustainable Development Goals. The authors emphasize ...

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work shows that many aquatic lineages instead rewire and expand key gene families, ...

New research reveals that size-based selection, like in fishing, may impact the stress tolerance of fish, which in turn has a significant impact on the condition and coping of fish in changing ...

Fresh water is an important and widespread natural resource. Microorganisms play key roles in freshwater biogeochemical processes, which are mostly studied during summer. However, with more than half ...

Some make nests inside seashells, others tote bubbles of air on their backs. The spiders that went back to water evolved lots of slick survival strategies. By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published ...

Associate Professor of Biology, Larissa Williams, has published a new “Editor’s Choice” and “Featured Article” in the Journal Toxins, revealing that the low levels of pollutants in our waters has more ...
