Triclosan-induced changes in earthworm Eisenia fetida life cycle under elevated temperature
(Corresponding) Miškelytė D., Žaltauskaitė J.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Antimicrobials are important for preserving the quality of life and public health. Triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, TCS) is one of the most used antimicrobials in both pharmaceuticals and personal care products and it is a frequently detected emerging organic...Read more

Forage crops nitrogen use efficiency changes under drought conditions
(Corresponding) Žaltauskaitė J., Dikšaitytė A., Miškelytė D., Sujetovienė G., Januškaitienė I., Kacienė G.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Ensuring sustainable agriculture and food security is one of the biggest challenges under changing climate. The frequency and severity of droughts is increasing as a result of climate change. These extreme events may lead to decreased forage crop productivity and financial incomes. Forage crop...Read more

Histopathological alteration in gills and liver of Cyprinus Carpio after a short-term exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles
(Corresponding) Iftikhar N., Hashmi I.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
With the rapid development of nanotechnology in past few decades, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have been extensively used in variety of domestic, commercial, and industrial products. Nano-titanium dioxide is one of the most widely used nano-material due to its UV light absorption, optical...Read more

The complex of natural enemies of invasive species Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on greenhouse-grown tomato crops conditions from southern Romania
(Corresponding) IAMANDEI M., ROSCA I., Radulea M., CHIRILOAIE-PALADE A.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
An obvious consequence of climate change is represented by the rapid spread and establishment of the invasive alien pest worldwide. Soon after its introduction in Romania, the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta is considered the greatest threat to protected tomato crops in the area from south of the...Read more

Small-scale fisheries in Istrian waters (northern Adriatic): preliminary results on catch analysis and presence of thermophilic species
(Corresponding) Iveša N., Buršić M., Gelli M., Barić O., Filipas R., Castellicchio A., Kovačić I., Pustijanac E., Štifanić M., Paliaga P., Millotti G., Gavrilović A.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Small-scale gillnet fisheries in northern Adriatic have latterly shown certain alterations, mainly related to more frequent occurrence of thermophilic species due to ongoing climate changes. This research presents data on gillnet catch in Istrian waters (Raša and Medulin Bay) in order to show the...Read more

Paleolimnological approach infers past environmental changes archived in lake sediments of Bukit Merah Reservoir, Malaysia.
Akogwu S., (Corresponding) Wan Maznah W., McGowan S., Luki S., Fielding J.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Human activities in the watershed of Bukit Merah Reservoir, have significantly increased, placing unprecedented pressure on this important system. However, long-term records of the ecological effects are scarce. Thus, this research aims to examine the impact of human-induced environmental change on...Read more

Decreased Dissolved Oxygen Affecting Sustainability of Mussel Farming in East Manila Bay, Philippines
(Corresponding) Enova A., Jaraula C., Villanoy C.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Manila Bay is surrounded by industrial, urban and populated cities of the Philippines and exposed to various pollutants. A hydrodynamic model previously simulated with the influence of tides, winds, rivers and pharmaceutical pollutants showed high dissolved organic pollutant concentration near...Read more

Changes in geomorphic units alter nitrogen fixation in a large lowland tropical river
(Corresponding) Gani M.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
The present investigation was carried out over 50 km reach, the Padma River of Bangladesh, downstream of the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. The study area is highly dynamic, with diverse geomorphic units, high rates of bank erosion, and sediment abstraction. Sentinel-2 imagery (...Read more
