BACKGROUND Soil biota effects are increasingly accepted as an important driver of the abundance and distribution of plants. While biogeographical studies on alien invasive plant species have indicated coevolution with soil biota in their native distribution range, it is unknown whether adaptation to soil biota varies among populations within the native distribution range. The question of local ...
This paper reports an assessment of radiation doses to marine biota arising from the radioactive sea discharges (as liquid effluents) of the COGEMA La Hague facility. The La Hague facility is located in the northwest part of France, in the north-west tip of the Nord-Cotentin Peninsula, along the English Channel south shore. The case study was primarily based on the large amount of data from rec...
Fossils from the “Jehol Biota” have been studied for nearly 90 years, and the term “Jehol Biota” has been extensively used and is well known today, largely thanks to the discovery of feathered dinosaurs, angiosperms, and numerous other exceptionally preserved fossils in the Lower Cretaceous of northeastern China. Ironically, however, what exactly the Jehol Biota represents and how it is defined...
Sediment and polyethylene sampler-based estimates of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin/dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) concentrations in Newark Bay, New Jersey (USA) benthic biota were compared. Biota concentrations based on sediment were estimated using an organic carbon (OC)-water partitioning model and an OC and black carbon (BC)-water dual model. Biota concentrations based on polyethylene were estimat...
Soil biota can be important drivers of plant community structure. Depending on the balance between antagonistic and mutualistic interactions, they can limit or promote the success of plant species. This is particularly important in the context of exotic plant invasions where soil biota can either increase the biotic resistance of habitats, or they can shift the balance between exotic and native...
There is general international acceptance of the need to demonstrate that the environment is protected from ionising radiation. In some countries requirements and guidelines for the protection of non-human biota are already in place. As a consequence a number of models and approaches have been proposed for the estimation of the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiation. The IAEA EMRAS p...
Theoretical models predict weakening of negative biotic interactions and strengthening of positive interactions with increasing abiotic stress. However, most empirical tests have been restricted to plant-plant interactions. No empirical study has examined theoretical predictions of interactions between plants and below-ground micro-organisms, although soil biota strongly regulates plant communi...
We propose an original program "Evolutionary constructor" that is capable of computationally efficient modeling of both population-genetic and ecological problems, combining these directions in one model of required detail level. We also present results of comparative modeling of stability, adaptability and biodiversity dynamics in populations of unicellular haploid organisms which form symbiot...
A food web bioaccumulation model was used to compare transport and fate of polychorinated biphenyls (PCB) congeners in three food webs in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America. The model was used to quantify the contribution of sediment-derived and freely dissolved PCBs to the body burden of aquatic biota. In eastern Lake Erie (OH, USA), almost 100% of the chemical body burden of biota or...
This paper reports on the levels of organochlorine pesticide residues in edible biota from the coastal area of Dar es Salaam city, Tanzania. Samples were collected from the Msimbazi and Kizinga rivers and from the coastal marine environment receiving waters from these rivers. The samples were analysed for various organochlorine pesticide residues using GC-ECD and the results confirmed with GC-M...
