DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4114
Abstract: Decomposition of coarse detritus (e.g., dead organic matter larger than ~1 mm such as leaf litter or animal carcasses) in freshwater ecosystems is well described in terms of mass loss, particularly as rates that compress mass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04429-6
Abstract: Food quality and quantity serve as the basis for cycling of key chemical elements in trophic interactions; yet the role of nutrient stoichiometry in shaping host–pathogen interactions is under appreciated. Most of the emergent mosquito-borne… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0174-4
Abstract: Subsidies of detritus from donor habitats are important energy sources for many ecosystems, but understanding their role in structuring recipient food webs requires comparative experimental studies along the full spectrum of detrital fluxes. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biy055
Abstract: Some of the fundamental drivers of reef functioning are being rewritten through progress in understanding nutrient cycling. The sponge loop, described in 2013, revealed that some cryptic sponges can convert dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2020-239108
Abstract: Two patients suffering from chronic recurrent tonsillitis were reported. The first patient was confirmed infected with COVID-19, 3 weeks prior to tonsillectomy. The detritus and tonsil specimen were further analysed through real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and… read more here.
