Could the transient aggregation of unicellular organisms have paved the way for the evolution of the multicellular animals?

abstract beet soilborne virus (bsbv) is a member species of the genus pomovirus with rigid rod particles and 3 positive single stranded rnas. the virus is transmitted by polymyxa betae and restricted to chenopodiaceae. a survey was conducted in 2005 for identification of bsbv in northern khorasan province. samples showing yellowing, elongated and upright petioles with narrow leaf lamina and hai...

It has been hypothesized that ingestion of microplastic increases exposure of aquatic organisms to hydrophobic contaminants. To date, most laboratory studies investigated chemical transfer from ingested microplastic without taking other exposure pathways into account. Therefore, we studied the effect of polyethylene (PE) microplastic in sediment on PCB uptake by Arenicola marina as a model spec...
