DOI: 10.1002/etc.5516
Abstract: Arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) were examined in the Yellowstone Lake food chain, focusing on two lake locations separated by approximately 20 km and differing in lake floor hydrothermal vent activity. Sampling spanned from femtoplankton to… read more here.

Stationary distribution and extinction for a food chain chemostat model with random perturbation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences"
DOI: 10.1002/mma.6809
Abstract: In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of a stochastic food chain chemostat model, in which the white noise is proportional to the variables. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7467
Abstract: BACKGROUND The potential risk of insecticidal proteins produced by genetically engineered (GE) plants to non-target organisms have long been an ecotoxicological concern. Apanteles chilonis, an important endoparasitoid of rice pest Chilo suppressalis, is potentially exposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00128-019-02542-z
Abstract: Few reports of the relationship exist between mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) from locations of severe Hg contamination in terrestrial environments. Here, we report the concentrations of Hg and Se as well as Se:Hg molar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04721-w
Abstract: Parasitism is arguably the most commonly occurring consumer strategy. However, only a few food web studies assess how well stable isotopes reflect the trophic position of parasitic consumers and results are variable. Even fewer studies… read more here.

Riparian forest modifies fuelling sources for stream food webs but not food-chain length in lowland streams of Denmark

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3313-1
Abstract: Several studies have shown that the origin of carbon fuelling food webs in streams depends on riparian cover type. In forested stream sites allochthonous resources fuel food webs, whereas autochthonous resources support biomass in grassland… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2021.105774
Abstract: Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are widely distributed in the aquatic environment and can be transmitted through the food chain, which can amplify their toxic effects on human. To inhibit their transmission in the trophic level, this… read more here.
