1. The stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH) states that environmental stress modulates species interactions, causing a shift from negative interactions to net positive interactions with increasing stress.

A recently published study from scientists at Northern Arizona University and the University of California Berkeley looked at the process by which tiny aquatic plants work with bacteria to use ...

A number of biogeochemical processes that influence the fate, bioavailability and transport of mercury (Hg) in aquatic systems are mediated by the interaction of Hg with dissolved organic matter (DOM) ...

The fate and transport of triclosan (5-chloro-2-[2,4-dichlorophenoxy]phenol), a widely used antimicrobial agent in personal care products, in aquatic ecosystems is a growing environmental concern. At ...

Overfishing reduces fish populations and promotes smaller sizes in fish. The fish also reach sexual maturity earlier than normal. However, the impact of overfishing is not restricted to fish: as the ...

(Beyond Pesticides, July 25, 2025) The scientific literature shows that microplastics (MPs) and pesticides, both ubiquitous throughout the environment, have synergistic effects that threaten aquatic ...
