How the edaphic Bacillus megaterium strain Mes11 adapts its metabolism to the herbicide mesotrione pressure.
Published in Environmental Pollution
Toxicity of pesticides towards microorganisms can have a major impact on ecosystem function. Nevertheless, some microorganisms are able to respond quickly to this stress by degrading these molecules. The edaphic Bacillus megaterium strain Mes11 can degrade the herbicide mesotrione. In order to gain insight into the cellular response involved, the i...
Microplastic and macroplastic ingestion by a deep diving, oceanic cetacean: the True's beaked whale Mesoplodon mirus.
Published in Environmental Pollution
When mammals strand, they present a unique opportunity to obtain insights into their ecology. In May 2013, three True's beaked whales (two adult females and a female calf) stranded on the north and west coasts of Ireland and the contents of their stomachs and intestines were analysed for anthropogenic debris. A method for identifying microplastics ...
Response of Phytoplankton Community to Low-Dose Atrazine Exposure Combined with Phosphorus Fluctuations
Published in Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
The effects of atrazine on a controlled phytoplankton community derived from a natural freshwater wetland exposed to low doses of this photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicide were examined. The community was exposed for 7 weeks to doses of 0.1, 1, and 10 μg L−1 atrazine, combined with changes in nutrient concentration, and the photosynthetic activity, ...

Lead in New York City community garden chicken eggs: influential factors and health implications
Published in Environmental Geochemistry and Health
Raising chickens for eggs in urban areas is becoming increasingly common. Urban chickens may be exposed to lead, a common urban soil contaminant. We measured lead concentrations in chicken eggs from New York City (NYC) community gardens and collected information on factors that might affect those concentrations. Lead was detected between 10 and 167...

Assessing biochar's ability to reduce bioavailability of aminocyclopyrachlor in soils
Published in Environmental Pollution
This was the first study to assess the use of biochar as a remediation tool for reducing bioavailable aminocyclopyrachlor in the liquid phase soil systems.
High tolerance of subalpine grassland to long-term ozone exposure is independent of N input and climatic drivers
Published in Environmental Pollution
Subalpine grassland is tolerant to increasing ozone exposure, independent of N input and climatic drivers, while N deposition rates at the critical load strongly increase productivity.
Ecotoxicity of binary mixtures of Microcystis aeruginosa and insecticides to Daphnia pulex
Published in Environmental Pollution
Interactive effects between insecticides and cyanobacterial stressors cannot be generalized, not even for insecticides with closely related known modes of action.
