Phosphorus (P) is essential for growth of all organisms, and P content correlated with in most taxa. Although was initially considered to be a trait fixed at the species level, there growing evidence considerable intraspecific variation. Selection on such variation can thus alter rates which fluxes through food webs. Nevertheless, prior work describing sources extent were not genetically explic...

Detailed information about the location and extent of zooplankton patches is fundamental to understand how abiotic and biotic forces interact to structure the spatial distribution of zooplankton. We mapped zooplankton patchiness in a Minnesota lake during spring, summer, and autumn with high-frequency (192-kHz) single-beam sonar. Conventional plankton samples of aggregations detected acoustical...

Rapid industrialization has resulted in the release and subsequent accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) various environmental matrices, which poses serious health threats globally. Utilizing native plant species to extract such HMs from soil may be an efficient cost-effective remediation approach. Thus, HM industrial area Al-Qassim province, Saudi Arabia, was investigated this study, phytoremedia...
